Is anyone here using NodeBB on Cloudways?
Please share the steps if the installation on Cloudways is possible.
Thanks
During the installation process i have entered URL of this installation (http://localhost) http://191.101.6.63 but i want to change it to domain.com.How to do it
@SANTOSH-KUMAR Edit your config.json base url to http://domain.com, then use apache or nginx to route domain.com to 191.101.6.63:port number.
Documentation can be found here
You could also re-run ./nodebb setup
to make any alterations.
IS the result
-bash: ./nodebb: No such file or directory
@SANTOSH-KUMAR, you have to cd
into your NodeBB installation's directory before you can run that command.
I am a linux beginner can you give the whole code which i need to run in my ssh
@SANTOSH-KUMAR, what directory did you install nodebb in?
/root/nodebb
?

@a_5mith
I used
cd nodebb
./nodebb setup
even though the output was same
-bash: cd: nodebb: No such file or directory
@SANTOSH-KUMAR Do you have a domain? If so, change base URL from what it is now to http://yourdomain.com, then press enter to continue through the setup.
You'd then be able to access your forum at http:/yourdomain.com:4567 (assuming you've not changed the port number) You'd then need apache or linux to remove the port number.
@a_5mith
URL used to access this NodeBB (http://191.101.6.63:4567)
I have domain explorehowto.com
Can i directly enter explorehowto.com or explorehowto.com:4567
The following are requirements for allowing a domain to resolve to your NodeBB:
example.org
)A
record pointing to the IP address of your server machinebase_url
of your domain name, with use_port
as false.More information: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies.html
@julian
can you explain the last point
5) Your NodeBB should be configured to have a base_url of your domain name, with use_port as false.
How to do that
@SANTOSH-KUMAR When you run ./nodebb setup, you will see URL used to access this NodeBB (http://191.101.6.63:4567)
and a flashing cursor, just type http://explorehowto.com
and press enter. Keep pressing enter until the setup is finished.
Assuming your DNS has an A NAME record pointing to 191.101.6.63
. Then you will be able to access your forum by going to http://explorehowto.com:4567.
I dont want to use :4567 after my domain.How can i do that
