sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yoursitename

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com;

    return 301 http://www.yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}

Restart nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

0E800 I tried all that and it didn't work. Then I tried to revert to what I had previously because just seekadventure.net worked and now that doesn't either lol

0E800

MikeJones

Remember you also need to make the url change in /var/www/yoursitename/config.php to reflect what is in your Nginx config.

0E800

MikeJones

Your good. I see your nginx default screen.

You just need to make change in flarum config.

seekadventure.net is being properly directed to www.seekadventure.net and nginx is working. Your flarum just is not turned on. So there is a issue with your nginx config or your flarum config.

MikeJones

0E800 So I did the www wrong, should look like this?

MikeJones

0E800 should the flarum config file just be http://www.seekadventure.net ? there are a lot of similar options right here, I guess I do not fully understand how these two config files work together.

0E800

MikeJones

Thats what all the other images I found looked like, but it seems to be working as you had it before.

Like I said, I type in browser http://seekadventure.net and it takes me to http://www.seekadventure.net

I see the Nginx welcome page.

So everything server wise is working, but Nginx doesnt know to load Flarum, so we need to check your nginx config and your flarum config.

0E800

MikeJones
I think it should be http://seekadventure.net because your are appending a www. to it.

Show me the server { part of your nginx config.

MikeJones

0E800 I will post both just so everythign is in synch

and

in the config php I have:

'url' => 'http://seekadventure.net',

0E800

Try adding return 301 http://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri; below server name

Like:

server {
  listen 80;
 
  root /var/www/seekadventure.net;
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
 
  server_name seekadventure.net; 
return 301 http://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri;

MikeJones

0E800 didnt change anything.....

It looks like its just not pointing to the FLARUM index for some reason

0E800

MikeJones
did you run sudo systemctl restart nginx after you made the change?
We will get this working, everything else is, just need figure where the disconnect is.

MikeJones

0E800 nope I did sudo service nginx restart

but after doing both still stuck on the nginx welcome

0E800

MikeJones

Try changing the Flarum config to url => http://www.seekadventure.net

then run sudo php flarum cache:clear and sudo systemctl restart nginx

Edit: sorry, also try changing your Nginx server_name to www.seekadventure.net` and restart ngnix

MikeJones

0E800 so it didn't work and I tried a ctr-f5 for good measure and I got this:

www.seekadventure.net redirected you too many times.

0E800

MikeJones

Good, we made progress

Give me a minute, ill update with new instructions

MikeJones

Replace:

server {
  listen 80;
 
  root /var/www/seekadventure.net;
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
 
  server_name seekadventure.net; 
return 301 http://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri;

With

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  seekadventure.net;
    return       301 http://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri;
}

server {
  listen 80;
 
  root /var/www/seekadventure.net;
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
 
  server_name www.seekadventure.net;

Then run sudo systemctl restart nginx

MikeJones

0E800 just to make sure, I understand the edit above. Will I now have two server portions in my config?

0E800

MikeJones

Correct, one listening for seekadventure.net just to return www.seekadventure.net and the other is for your main forum config.

Here is a sample from my nginx config: alot more things to mess up ?

#This server block will redirect http:// to https://mysite.com
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name www.keys-daggers.org;
    return 301 https://keys-daggers.org$request_uri;
}

#This server block will redirect https://www.mysite.com to https://mysite.com
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    include snippets/snakeoil.conf;
    include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
    server_name www.keys-daggers.org;
    return 301 https://keys-daggers.org$request_uri;
}

#This is the server block actually delivering content to the visitor
server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
    include snippets/snakeoil.conf;
    include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
        server_name www.keys-daggers.org;
        root /var/www/keysndaggers;

0E800 Awesoem starting to see how nginx works! Its working again!!!

Next thing for me to break is https lol

I would assume I would just change:

return 301 http://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri;

return 301 https://www.seekadventure.net$request_uri;

Once I configure all the certs etc.
