Is it possible to change the text color of a badge only for a certain group, to provide better contrast?

So, if I wanted to migrate NodeBB to a different server, is there anything more I need to do other than pointing the original dump.rdb file into the new redis server, or is that simply it?

Nevermind, I used the one on the NodeBB docs instead. It works now.

I just got a 512mb DigitalOcean Droplet and followed the steps Blogsynthesis using Putty with MacPorts and xQuartz. Everything went fine until I reached sudo service nginx reload I just get this error:

Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

......bump

I sorted out the nginx problems and now its working fine. Just have two questions.

1. example.com works fine except www.example.com does not. How do you fix this.
2. how long can NodeBB run? What if the computer is shutdown, does the website still run? What about if it the computer is dismantled?

@Bri How much users can it handle? How much posts? How much can it overall handle?

On the Openshift free plan, how much users, topics, categories, and posts can a NodeBB forum handle?

I checked the gear usage on a fresh NodeBB install and it appears 0.7 GB out of 1 GB is already used up. So only 300 MB is left.

@frissdiegurke I copied that into nginx.conf, I get this error when I restart nginx.

nginx: [emerg] getpwnam("http") failed in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1

@rod I replaced the entire contents of nginx.conf with that and restarted nginx. Here is what I get.

nginx: [emerg] "server" directive is not allowed here in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1

My domain, or localhost:80 does not load.

@tqwhite I reinstalled Homebrew, Nginx, and NodeBB. I removed all my ports. Here is my understanding:

I set proxy_pass to 0.0.0.0:4567, which is the server NodeBB is using. My server_name is my domain and listen is set to 80. Except, rather then 0.0.0.0:4567, nginx ignores the port number 4567 and uses what I set listen to, which was 80. Since I opened port 80, I received no errors. When I went to port 80, all I saw was the welcome to nginx page, not the actual forum. So I think nginx is not redirecting to NodeBB, but using it's own server. I know this because, after I saved the file and ran sudo nginx again, I get the error that the address 0.0.0.0:80 is already in use.

@frissdiegurke I copied word for word the NodeBB docs, which is what I have meant. The problem is , the nginx.conf file I installed with home-brew is not similar to the one in the NodeBB docs, so I am not sure.

Here is it

@rod Neither of those commands work

netstat: n: unknown or uninstrumented protocol

It's not Linux

I checked localhost:80 and it's a blank page saying:

404 Not Found

---

nginx/1.10.0

I went to my domain and the same thing appears.

@rod I copied that entire thing word for word and got the same error on and on.

        listen       80;
        server_name  domainnamehere.com;

    }

Error I get:

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (48: Address already in use)

I think I didn't install nginx the right way. How do I do it?

@rod

@tqwhite Get this, even though nginx doesn't work

nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

and on the curl tests, same error

One more thing. My Nginx version is 1.10.0/installed by homebrew, and it doesn't look similar at all to the docs. I don't get the same configuration and options as it.

I don't have apache either.

@tqwhite I think this might be the problem. I installed nginx following this guide and the NodeBB forum is already running and using 0.0.0.0:4567. I also don't have an apache2 folder. Regular "my-domain.org" links to nginx, and the "my-domain.org:4567" links to the actual forum. I can't see anything else I did wrong.

@frissdiegurke One more thing. After I've done the domain and nginx, will users from other devices be able to see the forum?

@frissdiegurke
One in the docs.

        listen       4567;
        server_name  domain-name.com;

I followed the instructions to use nginx to forward my domain name to 0.0.0.0:4567, but I get this error when I ran sudo nginx

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:4567 failed (48: Address already in use)

How is it possible to view the IPs of users? I can't find it in the Admin CP, but there is an IP search, so I suppose there has to be some way to find them.
