@rod said in Site is not working properly with nginx proxy?:

@Cyb3r To go through the paces, comment the include statements that are not already commented. Comment the location ~ block. What you should be left with is the bare minimum configuration and one location block, that being location /.

RESTART Nginx. Give that a try.

Thanks that's seemed to work only one file is missing now: plugins/nodebb-plugin-markdown/styles/railscasts.css

Edit: Now it's working great!

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help and I love NodeBB. Easy, fast and elegant software.

Cheers!

Just figured it out, mysql sock was pointing to macOS's MAMP path, instead the developer should've made it a mandatory field for user to specify the location of the sock or use default location for each OS. For anyone having the same issue here's the solution.

• First use ssh to login to mysql: mysql -u root -p

• Enter your root password then type: show variables like 'socket';

• You will get something like this:

  +---------------+---------------------------+
  | Variable_name | Value |
  +---------------+---------------------------+
  | socket | /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock |
  +---------------+---------------------------+

This the sock path you need /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock now exit mysql and open index.js file located in nodebb-plugin-import-xenforo and edit this line https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import-xenforo/blob/master/index.js#L24 to reflect your sock path, save the file and restart the forum.

Note: After you select an exporter and before starting the migration make sure to check the box Skip the module install or it'll replace the file index.js and reverse all the work you just did.

The importer should work now if everything is set properly. Hope this helps someone.
