    I've been searching as much as possible, and I can't seem to get to the bottom of my issue.

    I've got nodebb working on Debian wheezy. It's up and running, and working on the direct IP:port. You can save / edit and can see sockets connected

    socket.PNG

    I've set up nginx (1.6) as a reverse proxy, and it's loading the site, you can browse etc, but can't save anything.

    socket2.PNG

    Can't see any socket data.

    The only errors I'm getting in the logs are relating to Upstream Timed Out

    upload-ef81e61a-098d-41a8-b1d8-9a4c45029a0b

    I've tried setting nodebb to listed on the loopback address and public address, and the results are the same.

    nginx config:

    upload-4af43669-73e5-473f-a03f-ae37797e0c82

    Any suggestions, as I'd really like to give this a proper try.

    Thanks,

    Never mind..........feel dumb now.

    I installed nodebb as the root user, and was running it root. I've re-installed it using the nginx user, and started it as nginx, and it's working now

    EDIT: Actually....that's not fixed it 😞

    @Matt-Worthington Have you gone back into nodebb setup and set use port to false? 🙂

    Is your forum about "Werkin int pit?" 😆

    Oh and your proxy pass doesn't look right, but I'm not 100% on that.

    @a_5mith I tried various things with Proxy Pass. I've just spun up a new DO droplet to build again, and I'm getting the same results.

    This is the config that it generated when setting it up:

    {
    "base_url": "http://nodebb.matt1206.co.uk",
    "port": "4567",
    "use_port": false,
    "secret": "bd66b3f6-08f9-4efa-947d-4b9df5afb2da",
    "bind_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "6379",
    "password": "",
    "database": "0"
    },
    "bcrypt_rounds": 12,
    "upload_path": "/public/uploads",
    "use_port": false,
    "relative_path": ""
    }
    I'm currently using this server block on the new VPS

    server {
    listen 188.226.168.176:80;
    server_name nodebb.matt1206.co.uk;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/;
                proxy_redirect off;
    
                #Socket.IO Support
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
    

    }

    Let your proxy_pass and server in Nginx config match your base_url in NodeBB config.

    @planner Getting 502 bad gateway with that set

    server {
            listen       188.226.168.176:80;
            server_name  nodebb.matt1206.co.uk;
    
            location / {
                    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    
                    proxy_pass http://nodebb.matt1206.co.uk:4567/;
                    proxy_redirect off;
    
                    #Socket.IO Support
                    proxy_http_version 1.1;
                    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            }
    
    }
    

    Swapping back to 127.0.0.1:4567 for the proxy pass lets the site load, but still can't post.

    Errors from nginx log:

    @Matt-Worthington Can you double-check the nginx version? It's odd that it seems to be dropping down to xhr polling...

    I've just reconfigure nodebb to listen on the public address:

    http://nodebb.matt1206.co.uk:4567/ - works fine, can post, create new categories etc.

    http://nodebb.matt1206.co.uk - loads, can browse, but can't post, create categories

    upstream nodejs {
    server 188.226.168.176:4567;
    }

    server {
    listen 188.226.168.176:80;
    server_name nodebb.matt1206.co.uk;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    
                proxy_pass http://nodejs;
                proxy_redirect off;
    
                #Socket.IO Support
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
    

    }

    Well, that's progress. At least you know it works - partially. Check your Nginx error log for clues to what's happening when you try to post or create categories. Also check your browser's Web console.

    @Matt-Worthington Earlier, I did manage to register, although I didn't try posting. Seemed to be working fine for me.

    Latest version of NodeBB, or 0.4.3?

    Oh yeah, I can see that. I wonder if it's something on my end then after all this?

    What was the URL you used? Did it have the port on the end or just the normal URL?

    @julian Thanks Julian, it must be something that my work ISP is doing that is causing something funky. I'll try again when I get home.

    Thanks for all the support so far, really looking forward to giving nodeBB a go 🙂
