nginx is giving

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

Can i pm you the url could you do a check if things are good ?

Thanks in advance...

@codejet said in Forum is only accessible via port 4267 how do i switch to port 80 ?:

@Maahi

pretty damn easy man, just make it http://www.server.com:80

@codejet first of all I didn't believe you when you said that... !! may be because i have tried it and it failed... so I went along with all other attempts to configure proxy and i failed miserably with proxies.... I thought that nodebb cant listen on port:80. I see it is recommended to use a proxy and not to expose port 80 directly....

Thanks a lot everyone for your prompt response.... finally we nailed it... ( I am a total linux noob with 10 years windows server experience , so you can understand how pathetic I am at this simple thing... )

I am now planning to configure a proxy with Nginx and will comeback for help if needed...

Just to confirm, do i need to change in ./nodebb setup the website to http://127.0.0.1:4567 (currently it is http://www.myxyzforum.com:80 )

if i am going to use the below proxy file in Nginx

server {
listen 80;
server_name domain.com;
location / {
root /var/www/nodebb;
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";
}
}

Kind regards,

Hi Team,

I have setup the forum on CentOS 7 and Redis.

I followed the docs and now the forum is only accessible via port 4267

like this http://www.myxyzforum.com:4267

How do I make it available on www.myxyzforum.com ?

What changes are required ? Your help is much appreciated.

regards,
Maahi..
