@dunlix either way, if you don't have a config.json, it starts the web installer:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/fb363957d1ff8ac63c0a50aaeeb2dd86975876bc/src/cli/index.js#L109
So I am trying to get my NodeBB working with Apache2 with this URL: "http://127.0.0.1/forum" But when ever I try it it says, "/ Not Found" Here is my config.json:
{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1/forum",
"port": "3000",
"secret": "6a6e220f-ecf3-40f9-8832-55e429184458",
"bind_address": "0.0.0.0",
"database": "mongo",
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "matt",
"password": "20matt02",
"database": "nodebb"
},
"bcrypt_rounds": 12,
"use_port": false,
"relative_path": "/forum/"
}
And my 000-default.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

Just change the ServerName and any references to the 4567 port.
ServerName localhost
/etc/hosts
there is a line that says 127.0.0.1 localhost
@Bilou said:
Try to add
ServerName 127.0.0.1/forum
in your 000-default.conf
And change your relative_path by "/" in config.json
Don't forget to change all the 4567 port by 3000.
Can you give me an example with the correct usage. I forgot to mention that none of the styles are showing up(The directory goes to like /forum/plugins/nodebb-plugin-markdown/styles/railscasts.css).
@jbob Thank you for the example, but it was giving me an error on startup(Apache) that said, "Job for apache2.service failed. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details." and I checked them, but it did not give me any details.
I got it working! For future people coming to this looking for an answer here are my config files:
NodeBB config.json:
{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1/forum",
"port": "3000",

@mttprvst13 It probably failed because you don't have mod_rewrite enabled.
Do
a2enmod rewrite
systemctl restart apache2
