@scottalanmiller ok thanks!

@scottalanmiller

I remember Apache server allows to browse locally on any url you named instalation folder and without hosts editing, But nginx not allowing this?

Just after installation I can not access http://forum.example.com with no hosts or dns setting for domain

And docs says I should access http://forum.example.com just after installation
No hosts or dns setup are mentioned!

@scottalanmiller I want to open just exactly with http://forum.example.com/ url locally on the server browser. I am not talking about setting up my real domain yet. I suppose I can setup any domain locally or even just http://test to open nodebb as home page but I am wondered why it does not work now

@scottalanmiller If I remove record from hosts I still can not access nodebb with http://forum.example.com/ url. If its not nodebb's, nginx's, mongo's problem then what's the problem here?

@scottalanmiller if I open http://forum.example.com/ It's also clean now but with leaving previous hosts record unchanged

@scottalanmiller Yes, now after adding to hosts and opening http://forum.example.com:4567/ I do not have message about lost connection any more

@scottalanmiller I have added forwarding port 4567 to router for ubuntu vm 192.168.1.4 TCP+UDP 4567 but I have still the same issues...

@PitaJ Yes I haven't set up port forwarding for router. Could you specify which ports and ip to specify for forwarding ports?

@scottalanmiller sorry I tried again and I could open http://myip:4567 but got the same message as for localhost:

Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.

@scottalanmiller And how to make it accessible for Nginx?
