@planner ok - thanks for that confirmation. I'll rule that out as the issue then.

@planner I believe some comment on an installation instructions blog post questioned whether or not nodebb would compile on 64bit. Is this verified incorrect?

@planner - Nope. Not yet. I may try: 1) change to subdomain instead in the config file, and 2) upload on a 32 bit version of ubuntu (I did read that we weren't sure if 64 bit worked).

@planner I'm open to either a subdomain or a subfolder (I was attempting a subfolder).

Though the config.js shows the relative path correctly. Is there an additional redis step? If users typically need to include the port (i.e. <IP Address>:4567 , what would be the exact reference for this forum?)

"upload_path": "/public/uploads",
"relative_path": "/forum"

Still not working - I think ghost is looking for a static page created in ghost (since <ip address> goes to ghost). Maybe if I created forum.<ipaddress>?

@julian Thanks for the response. I think it makes sense - I was just questioning as this is what I tried last night and had some issues. You're saying that in the last installation step (per these instructions http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/setting-up-a-nodebb-forum-for-dummies/ ) where we specify http://<ip address>, I should use http://<ipaddress>/forum instead?

I just want to check as I'm not super tech savvy: what is the proper path to install NodeBB (currently running ghost) such that I will end up at http://<ip address>/forums ? Do I point this to .../forums at the last step of the install? Or do I point this to http://<ip address>, and later direct <ipaddress>:4567 to sitename.com/forums? Thanks in advance.
