Hi @yariplus ,

the forum runs on a subdomain, because there is a Wordpress-Site on the "normal" domain, which is by a different hoster, who is the DNS-Host (http://checkdomain.de), too. The nodeBB installation is hosted by http://uberspace.de and the SSL certificate is providec by letsencrypt. As a proxy I have to use Apache 2.2. This is the reason for the private Port, because Apache 2.2 can not handle websockets. Everything worked fine till i tried to switch to https. Here is the .htaccess of the Apache:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:63542/$1 [NC,P,L]

When I to switch zu https, there is a http an a https (socket.io) to the same Port. That is the reason why i want to use a separate port for socket.io, if this is possible.

Hope there is enough information now, if not, please tell me what you need.

thanks for your help!
best,
chris

@PitaJ I have exactly the same Problem. Custom Javascript is gone after updating to 1.7.3. Custom JS und header tab are empty. Is there a possibility to recover that code?

Hi nodeBB-Community,

I want to provide my forum via https. In my hosting environment I have to use a direct connetion to a private opened port (e.g. 63542) for socket io to establish stable websocket-connection. I did this in the nodebb config.json in this way:

"socket.io": {
    "address": "subdomain.tld.com:63542"
}

Everything works fine and fast with http. When I switch to https I get for all requests to /socket.io/ net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
I still can use the forum and do a login but I always have the notification visible that the connection was lost and the forum is trying to re-establish the connection.

Has anybody a idea what I can do for a consistent SSL-Connection?

Thanks,
Chris

Great Idea! I took your solution and added a few lines of CSS to hide the downvote arrow and remove the whitespace.

// Change the icon for votes
span.votes {
    // not voted is outline heart
    .fa-chevron-up:before {
        content: "\f08a";        
    }
    // upvoted is solid heart
    .upvoted .fa-chevron-up:before {
        content: "\f004";
    }
}
// hide the downvote element to remove whitespace
a[component="post/downvote"] {
    display: none;
}
// reduce margin of post-submenue for alignment 
.topic .moderator-tools {
    margin-left: 0px;
}

Thank you, guys! npm i was the solution.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to upgrade nodeBB from 1.6.1 to 1.7.3. After git fetch and git reset --hard origin/v1.7.x I tried to run ./nodebb upgrade, but I get the following error message:

Thank you @PitaJ and @baris ! It was the plugin. I had installed the 1.2.1, but it does not worked. I uninstalled the plugin and registration i working fine again.

@pitaj here is the nodebb-log. Actually nodebb crashes after submitting the register form.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the registration. No registration could be completed. Everything is fine (inline validation etc.) till the submit-button is pressed. After that, the page reloads and the following error message is shown:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>502 Proxy Error</title> </head><body> <h1>Proxy Error</h1> <p>The proxy server received an invalid

and this error is in the browser console:

and on the serverside i have these errors:

I'm pretty sure, that the registration was working before I upgraded to 1.6.0 Did you changed there anything in this process?

Everything else is working fine. Creating posts, chat, upload files, upload and change profile images etc.

On the serverside I have to use not the perfect configuration with apache 2.2 (without mod_wstunnel), but it worked pretty well.

Thanks for any help,
Chris

Thank you @PitaJ and @julian for your support! Everything works fine now.

The error was because of a wrong security option in the settings and the speed of sendmail increased by itself. Probably there was a problem on the shared server during my first test.

Keep up the great work! NodeBB is really great!

Hi @PitaJ, I did the Upgrade to 1.6.1 and after a few hickups nodebb can send mails again, but only with the internal mailserver. The external option is still broken. Sending Mails via the internal mailserver is quite slow.

Here is the Error-Message, which I get when I try the externl mailserver option:

io: 2 on [ { type: 2,
    nsp: '/',
    id: 14,
    data: [ 'admin.email.test', { template: 'welcome' } ] } ]

@pitaj thank you for the information and I hope that the fix will work for us, too!
