Install node bb but how to change the domain

Read this (You can also use apache, but it's a bit of a pain)

This will explain how to install Nginx.

[SANTO007]

It makes me confusing can you just tell me easily in two words how to do that

[A Former User]

You have to set up Nginx or Apache if you don't want the port number at the end. There's no way around that.

I have setup vesta control panel on my vps which automatically installs
Nginx web server as light front-end
Apache web server as application back-end
I thought that i am using both

Here goes...

cd ~/
sudo apt-get install nginx
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo nano explorehowto.com

Paste in the block (server listen 80: etc) found here

Replace server_name forum.example.org; with server_name explorehowto.com; and change proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567/; to proxy_pass http://191.101.6.63:4567/;

Press Ctrl + X to exit, tap Y then Enter to confirm save.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/explorehowto.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo service nginx reload

Try accessing your forum at explorehowto.com

EDIT: Vesta CP is pretty useless as everything can be done through SSH just as easily with no loss of overheads. You only need Nginx or Apache, not both. If you already have Nginx, then start from cd /etc/nginx/sites-available

No problem, if you get a fail message when you reload nginx, then you've pasted the server block wrong and will need to check it to make sure you followed the above steps correctly. To paste the server block into SSH, use right click on your mouse.

[SANTO007]

server {
listen 80;

server_name forum.example.org;

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";
}

}
Does these are the server blocks

@SANTOSH-KUMAR

Yes. Replace server_name and proxy_pass with what I gave you above. Then carry on the steps.

i have cloudflare ssl can i use https://www.explorehowto.com

[a_5mith]

@SANTOSH-KUMAR Yes, but you'll want to be up and running without it first, https and cloudflare can bring it's own issues. So, one step at a time.

[A Former User]

@SANTOSH-KUMAR, don't take on too much at once. Let's get you up and running at http://www.explorehowto.com before we start using SSL from Cloudflare

[SANTO007]

Ok thanks to all the supporting team
Especially @a_5mith @Ted
Thanks YOU uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[A Former User]

@SANTOSH-KUMAR, thank you - but it was really @julian and @a_5mith providing support. Feel free to reach out via chat once you're up and running if you need assistance. I'm usually around, even if I'm not on.

@a_5mith
Pal i reached the last stage every thing setup
Presntly i have setup domain on http://explorehowto.com:4567
As you said above i have done all the steps.But a problem with the last step
when i used server block like this
server_name explorehowto.com;

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://explorehowto.com:4567/;
proxy_redirect off;

# Socket.IO Support
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

}

then using the following code
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/explorehowto.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo service nginx reload

The result is

root@server:~# cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
root@server:/etc/nginx/sites-available# sudo nano explorehowto.com
root@server:/etc/nginx/sites-available# sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/ex
plorehowto.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/explorehowto.com':
File exists
root@server:/etc/nginx/sites-available# sudo service nginx reload

• Reloading nginx configuration nginx [fail]
  root@server:/etc/nginx/sites-available#
