Might as well add another cog to my plan im on cent os

Congrats @outlawedoffroad just in case you missed it you need to install & run Forever Daemon to keep the forum running when you shut down your terminal.
https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/How-to-run-NodeBBI'm screwing around with that now
Still trying to figure out how to have the url load the ip it must be something in .htaccess a redirect or whatever to get going..
No idea how I got this far lol but I'm happy I did.. This is only just the beginning though.

Forever now working.. I don't want to reboot server yet cause the 2 car forums on vb have their morning rush of people sitting in work talking about going fast or over things
So now I am going to focus on getting the URL to show the forum instead of only the IP.. Google search Mode Activate!
-
you will need to go to the domain registrar for your domain and change the A records to the new i.p for the url if that makes sense
yeah i was thinking that's going to be the deal.. i forward from the place i buy them to my server with my own name server so next step is to edit that in whm somewhere... i'm shocked the other 2 sites did not belly up from all this stuff never a good feeling hitting command line things you only kinda/sorta know what it'll do
-
Chat room line to get help from the host.. They're great and will straighten it out in seconds compared to my searching and jerking for hours.. I guess this will also be good for LiquidWeb as a host for self-installers once all these little details are ironed out.
-
Sorry way above my pay grade now
A world beyond my knowledge.. They got it forwarding and resolving now.. I believe working on the redirect stuff so you don't see the :4567 after the domain name is happening now.. They're going to tell me exactly what took place so I can share it here for anyone who may stumble on this down the road.

If you are asking LiquidWeb to open up a port for you, then you will be able to access your forum from yourforum.example.com:3456... what you might need to do is "proxy" requests from a regular port (80) to your NodeBB (3456).
Apache Port Proxy
I have a non-Apache server listening to port 8001 and Apache listening port 80. I want a certain virtual domain to actually be served by the non-Apache server over port 80. Example: <Virtual...

Roadblock:
Jeramy: No, the DNS wont work either. I don think there is anyway you could force that port with DNS, but apart from that, like I said. Once the port is left out of the url, your server will still read it as a straight apache port 80 request.
Jeramy: It has to be done on the server end, but would have to be done in the code somehow.

OMG I literally just closed and thanked in chat and then this comes up Julian!!
It's up now at: http://dad-forums.com:4567 so there is progress here

I have never done a proxy in Apache before, so you'll be treading in unknown waters.
We use nginx as our proxy server, so that's quite a different beast...
I'm jumping back on the support queue lol.. uncharted territory is good it opens this up to more people.. Certainly I can't have the :4567 at the end cause it just looks silly.. It does send it there direct from the regular URL but it can be fixed I have faith in them!!

I have nginx on the server so I think they're gonna try that now. Still a work in progress here chatting with server support.. It's something well beyond my skill set here and I can't risk tanking 2 existing forums.

I missed this discussion last night, I'm glad you figured out how to install. Congrats @OutlawedOffroad!
As for the vB migrator, I can't promise you if we'll have the time to build it in the short term, but it definitely is in our long term plan

That's why I'm playing around with a different domain for now
The OO site can stay as it is for the time being there really is no rush there. It's going to take time to get comfortable with the system, process, etc.. so I'm going to keep working on the fatherhood forum for now, then release it to the wolves on the twitter/blog groups I'm in and go from there. slow and steady..my support ticket is in.. but we know how that goes.. it means so and so is not in yet and I need to wait for them
i did add in the nginx proxy info if they choose to set it up that way, i tried with no luck. when i was running the service it was killing the 2 vbulletin forums and i can't have that. -
This guide may help: https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Configuring-nginx-as-a-proxy-to-NodeBB
Yup that's what I sent them!
