It seems to be working fine now and the domain had changed, however now if I access the forum via the old url (http://maguss.nodebb.com) there is that message about trying to reconnect.

Any idea how to fix this issue? I have a fresh install of the nodebb forum and as title says, verification don't get sent and if some do, they end up in spam

Hey guys,

I have recently purchased a hosted NodeBB forum. Amazing system, however I've been unable to change forum base url for already 2 days. I have made that A record in my DNS provider settings and that works fine, however when I visit the forum through my own domain, it says: "Looks like your connection to Maguss forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect."

I think that is related to the fact that I am unable to change the forum base URL. It saves successfully but then every time I refresh and restart the forum, it reverts back to http://maguss.nodebb.com (I want http://forum.maguss.org)

Thank you for any help!

I have installed NodeBB recently on my Windows 2012 Server running it on IIS 8 with reverse proxy.

It all seemed to be working well until some point when it broke. Now when I am logged in as any user, when I click on whatever link on the forum or navigation icon, it starts loading and in 3/4 it stops and hangs there. Meanwhile I can see these errors in the console log:

 WebSocket connection to 'ws://forum.maguss.org/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=StguwnFo7hgYtRZ-AAAV' failed: Error           during WebSocket handshake: Incorrect 'Sec-WebSocket-Accept' header value

I am not sure what is it related to as I haven't done many changes after starting and what I have done I tried to revert (search and color plugin installs).
All the links and navigation works just fine when I am not logged in as an user.

I have tried to reboot the server same as nodebb.

Any ideas? Your help would be much appreciated!

EDIT1:
I had my colleague try it too and it works for her just fine even when she is logged in. However another colleague who was logged in at the same time when I was has the same issue as I have.

Plus as a bonus when I open admin panel it seems like nothing is there. No custom CSS that I added, no custom headers or anything like that. But the effect of it is applied on the forum itself. For clarification I give an example:

I have changed color of all links from standard Darkly skin from cyan to orange in the custom CSS via Admin panel.
I got it applied, working just fine.
I discovered the issue that I am describing above and when I open admin panel now I can't see any custom CSS nor HTML headers in there.
Even if I refresh cache, the Orange links are still on the forum, meaning the custom CSS remained, but it's not showing in the admin panel - custom CSS.
And also when I am logged in into forum and I try to open admin panel it gives to me a login form like I wasn't logged in. When I fill it out and submit, it shows white blank page saying: "Forbidden".

EDIT2:
I tried to reinstall it from scratch with a downgraded version 1.1.1 and it was again working for a while (about an hour) then the same issue appeared.

EDIT3:

How is it possible that not even official forum functions properly? I added updates, refreshed the page several times also with shortcut: alt+shift+r, but I can't see the updates applied. Though I can see updates when I press edit on the post.

I've been playing around trying to set up the NodeBB forum on my Windows 2012 server with IIS using reverse proxy to point my subdomain forum.maguss.org to 127.0.0.1:4567.

It seems to be working, but when I visit the page (feel free to try it too, it's public) I can see a page kind of without styles. But when I open debugger, I can see styles were loaded, so it may not be what I think it is.

This is what I see when I visit forum.maguss.org: enter image description here

And this is what I see when I visit 127.0.0.1:4567 enter image description here

My config.json for NodeBB:

{
    "url": "http://forum.maguss.org:4567",
    "secret": "xxxx-uybjn-fooo-b942-xxxxxxx",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": 4567,
    "mongo": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "27017",
        "database": "nodebb"
    }
}

Plus I have bindings set up to point to my standard website from domain: forum.maguss.org, but then it's forwarded. I am not sure if this is relevant, but if I remove bindings it gives me 404 not found.

EDIT:

The issue was in the IIS setup of the reverse proxy.
