SSL Not Working On NodeBB Forum Apache2

I have a signed SSL certificate on my site, and nodebb isn't working with it. I'm using apache2 and the certificate does work. Would I have to use mod_proxy to make the forum run at a subdirectory instead of port :4567 for it to work? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Here is my config

{ "url": "http://website.com:4567", "secret": "secret", "database": "mongo", "mongo": { "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": "27017", "username": "XXXXX", "password": "XXXXX", "database": "XXXXX" } }

Solution

  • Get a SSL certificate, I got mine from here https://letsencrypt.org/

    Then put Nodebb on port 443 and use Apache mod_proxy to remove the port.

    SSL now works.
