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

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";
}

}

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

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 >.<

@Kowlin Nothing

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"
    }
}```

Tried with 127.0.0.1

@PitaJ That seemed to have fixed it along with another error I fixed while adding permissions Thanks!

@baris I did, even tried restarted nodebb. Still the same.

I'd like to upload my logo, but it seems to be bugged! When uploading via ACP

Where can I manually add it?

Have the sub forums show on the main board like discourse has. As an option.

Main forum title

little description

sub forum 1, sub forum 2, etc

@Jenkler Thanks. I'm using Apache since I have a landingpage and I will point a subdomain to the forums. Interesting, always thought Apache or any webserver was needed for http

@yariplus Oh that's nice. I'm running 0.9.3 guess it wouldn't work with that?

Just curious as to whether or not the download plugins within ACP has more plugins not listed? I cannot find the recent cards plugin.

@pichalite said:

@Defaultuser do you have the plugin nodebb-plugin-dbsearch activated?

I believe links to email confirmation expire after certain time (need to confirm). Create a new user and try to verify it right away.

I activated the search plugin. It works.

I made a test account and still get that error. Also my admin account gets this error. I sent receive the email as soon as I login and the pop up asking to confirm it.

*Edit trying to replace the nodebb logo in settings ends up have my logo and nodebb, where is the is the nodebb logo so I can replace it?

@Joykiller said:

@Defaultuser I'm not entirely sure this is the case but humor me.. Do you get any errors on the page if you inspect? If so what are they? Maybe your nginx config isn't looking in the right directory?

I'm using apache 2.4. I looked everywhere in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000defaultconf as well as conf.json of nodebb, theres no in depth option for paths.

The search icon is close to my other icons and get this error:

/search Not Found You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

And users trying to confirm their emails get this error:
Not Found The requested URL /confirm/43245543-v3423-t4tg-5432-g4t4354353 was not found on this server.

No. I moved it there.

Thank you! I had set a proxy for nodebb.

Question, how would I go about changing the /var/www/ location to home? Or should I leave it.

Also my installation seems to be missing a few things like upload a profile pic, like the one here.

I installed nodebb and started it, but when I go to my ip via URL (dont have a domain setup yet) it just shows me the files.. I setup the redis server as well. If you want the config? Running apache 2.4.

I'm new to this type of forum hosting / setup.
