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"
}

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

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.

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)

xCausxn

i have

xCausxn

its definitely something to do with sockets i think
