@pitaj Thank you for your answer and plugin.

I have tried global chat plugin; forum members disliked it. I've deactivated and deleted the plugin but global chat room is still active. Only by disabling chat, it disappears.

What can I do for this problem?

Thanks;

@teh_g said in fresh install, session problem:

@seyeran Whatever is in your config.json has to match the URL you are navigating to.

Thank you. I am really indebted to you. I was trying to solve it for the last 6-7 hours.

Solution worked for me is this:
Permanent 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

aditional info:

I have added to plesk settings:

Additional Apache directives:

Additional directives for HTTP : RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "http"
Additional directives for HTTPS : RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

Additional nginx directives:
CHANGED TO: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

But still problem persists:

But the site has a certificate from Letsencrypt. I mean, I need to run in https.

What must I change?

I am getting problems like:
It looks like your login session is no longer active, or no longer matches with the server. Please refresh this page.
We were unable to log you in, likely due to an expired session. Please try again.

The thing is; when I try from my computer, Safari and Chrome does not give error; but Safari on my tablet or Chrome on my phone also give similar sesson problems.

Setting are:

Ubuntu 16.04; dedicated server; plesk panel; apache server, nginx proxy.

CONFIG.JSON

{
"url": "https://forum.mydomain.com",
"secret": "xxxxxxxx",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4567,
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "xxxxxxxxxx",
"database": "nodebb"
},
"type": "literal"
}

ON PLESK PANEL:

Additional nginx directives:

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-For $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

}

Additional apache directives: none

I have near zero knowledge about nginx settings; so I've copied all things that are advised in similar questions

Thanks for your help.
