error: Auth error: Error: ERR invalid password

xpcontact

Somehow I managed to solve that issue...
Now I again stuck somewhere, I installed most of what is supposed to be there, and I started most of the service what is supposed to be running, but for now I can't figure out which direction to proceed: http://caffeh.com/forum/

xpcontact

progress:
http://caffeh.com:4567/
I was installing all the time the nodebb in /forum why it is in the root ?
And why I need to add the port 4567 in order to see? I am running nginx

Hey @xpcontact -- by default NodeBB listens on port 4567. If you'd like to access the site on port 80 (that is, without the port number), you'll have to have your web server proxy requests to your NodeBB server listening on port 4567.

Hi,
I tried to follow that tuts, here the output of my cat /etc/nginx/vhosts/caffeh.com

I am willing to have my forum at http://forum.caffeh.com in the root ( www.caffeh.com ) I will install docpad as blog / portal
so far, it works only with port: http://forum.caffeh.com:4567/

If you're going to use a separate subdomain, then just paste the config verbatim into a new file in your sites-available folder called forum.caffeh.com.

Then enable it (assuming you're using sites-enabled-style configuration: cd ../sites-enabled && ln -s ../sites-available/forum.caffeh.com

cat /etc/nginx/vhosts/forum.caffeh.com

It is already there, could you please check what is the problem?

@xpcontact I would recommend erasing everything in that file and copying the config shown in the guide exactly as it is written there. There should not be any need for the cache expiry headers, logging, root, etc.

In fact, it looks like you're not even proxying requests to your NodeBB.

In your case, copy this EXACTLY as shown:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name forum.caffeh.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://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";
    }
}

I went to /etc/nginx/vhosts/forum.caffeh.com
I copied and pasted your code as it is, nothing works, am I missing something else?

julian

Did you restart nginx? Run nginx -t to check for errors.

xpcontact

yes I did.

root@server [/etc/nginx/vhosts]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
