subdomain tell me what I did wrong?

[Defaultuser]

Currently my subdomain points to my server ip

I have enabled

sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http
sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel

config.json

    "url": "http://forums.yoursite.com",
    "port": "4567",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "******",
        "database": "0"
    }
}```


virtualhost.conf

```ProxyRequests off

<Proxy *>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /socket.io/1/websocket ws:/myserverip:4567/socket.io/1/websocket
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/1/websocket ws://myserverip:4567/socket.io/1/websocket

ProxyPass /socket.io/ http://myserverip:4567/socket.io/
ProxyPassReverse /socket.io/ http://myserverip:4567/socket.io/

ProxyPass / http://myserverip:4567/
ProxyPassReverse / http://myserverip:4567/

Tried with 127.0.0.1

If I remember correctly using 0.0.0.0 worked for my remote proxy's

This might not be a direct answer to your problem, but did you ever considered to use NGINX?

If not drop me a message, I would greatly assist you to try it out

[julian]

You've followed the guides shown here, right? https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies.html

Other than that I cannot help as my experience lies with nginx as well

yup Apache 2.4 >.<

[Defaultuser]

I switched to Nginx 1.6.x and following the reverse proxy for nginx. Doesn't show me where to put the config listed. My conf.d folder is empty

[pichalite]

@Defaultuser you can create a file named default.conf in conf.d folder and add your config to it.

[Defaultuser]

I added a default.conf and put in there. Doesn't work
server {
listen 80;

server_name forum.mydomain.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";
}

}

[pichalite]

@Defaultuser did you restart nginx?

[julian]

Execute nginx -t as root to debug your config and see what the problem is.

As @pichalite said, also make sure nginx has restarted successfully.

[Defaultuser]

I did restart it. Guess it took time because it works now! Thanks everyone. Also thumbs up on the nginx recommendation!
