@julian @psychobunny @baris

[psychobunny]

Do you get any error messages? afaik all you need to do is edit the config.json

[xCausxn]

@psychobunny

No Errors at all, and i have editted the config

Still login doesnt work

[bentael]

@baris did you end up making the uploaded pics URLs relative? I can't find the github issue

[xCausxn]

@baris what do you mean? slightly confused:P

[xCausxn]

Only the login doesnt work

[xCausxn]

Narrowed down the issue, when on the port version fangsniping.tk:8020 it works fine

However when i use forum.fangsniping.tk it doesnt work

i am using nginx proxy

[bentael]

@xCausxn sorry, I wasn't addressing you, I was thinking out loud, you may another problem to worry about, unrelated to the login.

[bentael]

paste nginx config, NodeBB/config.json AND nginx version

[xCausxn]

config.json

{
    "base_url": "http://forum.fangsniping.tk",
    "port": "8020",
    "use_port": true,
    "secret": "secrets",
    "bind_address": "5.135.106.27",
    "database": "mongo",
    "mongo": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "27017",
        "username": "DONT",
        "password": "HACKME",
        "database": "IMLOOKINGATYOUPSYCHOBUNNY"
    },
    "bcrypt_rounds": 12,
    "upload_path": "/public/uploads",
    "relative_path": ""
}

nginx (nothing in conf.d so heres the other thing)

server {
        listen   80; 
		root /var/www/;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;

        server_name fangsniping.tk; 

        location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
        
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;

         }

         location ~ /\.ht {
                deny all;
        }
}
upstream nodebb {
    server 5.135.106.27:8020;
}

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name forum.fangsniping.tk;
    root /home/alpha22/fangnode/nodebb;

    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/;
        proxy_redirect off;

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

Nginx version
1.2.1

[bentael]

hmm .. i think the requirements are a minimum nginx version of 1.3.13

[xCausxn]

just updated to 1.4.4 and still same problem

@bentael

[julian]

Hey @xCausxn -- this may be the cause of your problems...

http://forum.fangsniping.tk/api/config

{
  "error": "/home/alpha22/fangnode/nodebb/public/config.json: Unexpected string"
}

[psychobunny]

rofl

    "port": "27017",
    "username": "DONT",
    "password": "HACKME",
    "database": "IMLOOKINGATYOUPSYCHOBUNNY"

[xCausxn]

i was trying a fix on another thread to add this

"websocket": {
"address": "5.135.106.27",
"port": "8020"
}

which threw that error

[julian]

Yeah, you shouldn't need that to have nginx work as a proxy. See our config.json here: http://community.nodebb.org/config.json

Just remove that section and see where you end up.

[xCausxn]

Just removed, however i have found something. if i login, i can access the admin panel - Good + Forum loads fine = good

However,
http://puu.sh/6wvBH.png

but im logged in

[julian]

Good, now we're getting somewhere -- it looks like Web Sockets is not working, possibly because the proxy configuration is not correct.

Is your NodeBB hosted on the same machine as the nginx server? If so, you can change the upstream portion to this:

upstream nodebb {
    server 127.0.0.1:8020;
}

Also not sure if "bind_address": "5.135.106.27", needs to be set, you could leave it as 0.0.0.0 and see what happens.

[xCausxn]

Ok just made those changes, same as before the logged in doesnt show, but i am logged in

[julian]

You may need to restart your nginx server (and nodebb, for good measure)
