need help on nginx server block

Pakorn

my current block is as followed

server {
listen 80;
server_name forum.abc.com;
return 301 $scheme://forum.abc.com$request_uri;
}

URL: add a permanent redirect if required.

server {
listen 80;
server_name forum.abc.com;
root /home/abc/abcforum;
access_log /var/log/nginx/forum.abc.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/forum.abc.com.error.log;
#include global/common.conf;
}

I copied and modified it from my main wordpress server block.
Currently i can access forum.abc.com:4567 but i cant access it at forum.abc.com
How do I fix it?

Thank you,

That is my server block to serve NodeBB. During setup, I set the NodeBB's URL to 127.0.0.1 at port 4567.

server {
        listen   80;
        server_name forum.abc.me;

    location / {
         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
         proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
}

This server block is saved as nodebb.conf in /etc/sites-available, then symlinked to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled by running the command sudo ln -s /etc/sites-available/nodebb.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/. Of course, run the sudo service nginx reload after that.

@aixnr does it mean i dont have to include this section?
server {
listen 80;
server_name forum.abc.com;
root /home/abc/abcforum;
access_log /var/log/nginx/forum.abc.com.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/forum.abc.com.error.log;
#include global/common.conf;
}

@Pakorn I don't think you need. The nginx code block that I posted above is what I've been using on my NodeBB and couple of Ghost blogs before. It is just the matter of redirecting the traffic.

During nodBB setup, I entered hostname as "forum.abc.com" so i should change server block to this?

server {
        listen   80;
        server_name forum.abc.com;

    location / {
         proxy_pass http://forum.abc.com:4567;
         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
         proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }
}

@aixnr Thanks. I will try it now

@Pakorn yes you are right. Just checked my NodeBB's config.json. I put http://forum.abc.com as the URL during the ./nodebb setup with the port 6379.
