I was running 1.7.x upgrading to 1.10.x fixed it. Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas?

Using mongoDB

When trying to change a user's username as an admin, getting

ERROR
You do not have enough privileges for this action.

However, when adding the admin to the global moderators, it will work. Is there something wrong with my privileges?

I'm currently deploying my forum on a kubernetes cluster, which means that I have to launch with ./nodebb start -d

Is there anyway I can start without starting the forum in the background and have the forum in production mode?

@rod Cloudfront is requesting on port 80. Would do 443 but I don't have access to the raw ssl certificates because I'm using AWS's certificate manager for free wildcard certs.

Anyone have any advice?

I'm trying to get my nodebb setup working with SSL using AWS's certificate manager. To do this I'm using AWS Cloudfront. Everything is working wonderfully up until I go to set my site URL in the config.json

As soon as I change the url from http://forum.example.com to https://forum.example.com I get csrf-invalid errors when trying to login.

here is my config.json:

{
    "url": "https://forum.example.com",
    "secret": "MYSECRET",
    "database": "redis",
    "redis": {
        "host": "aws.redis.url",
        "port": "6379",
        "password": "",
        "database": "0"
    }
}

Here is my nginx configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name forum.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

        proxy_pass http://io_nodes;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # Socket.IO Support
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

upstream io_nodes {
    ip_hash;
    server 127.0.0.1:4567;
    server 127.0.0.1:4568;
}

As you can see I have proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; as suggested here https://blog.nodebb.org/nodebb-v1-1-0-release/

What am I missing in my configuration to get this working?

I ended up creating an oauth plugin for my app based off of this skeleton:
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth

and instead linked it to https://forum.mysite.com/auth/myapp and it performs the intended functionality.

When my user is already logged in, and the user visits /login, it redirects to their profile page.

How can I make it redirect to root instead?
