Nginx and EasyEngine wpsite

Hi community! :slight_smile:

Im not really familiar with all this stuff, so if you guys could help that would be awesome. I succesfully installed a wp site on mydomain.com, but after installing nginx to configure nodebb forum at forum.mydomain.com, now mydomain.com also shows a forum. The wpsite is gone.

I dont know what happened, could anyone clarify this? I followed this guide: lhttps://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/proxies/nginx.html

Thanks so much.

Do you mean you have install nginx after using easyengine ? because ee install nginx to run wp and you can use it to create another vhost with php and mysql for nodebb. no need to install anything else than ee

Hi! Thank you for your answers. So, ee installs nginx itself? How do I use it to configure nodebb to be used on forum.mydomain.com? How do I create this vhost with php and mysql? A link to a guide or an explanation of what to after installing ee and nodebb would be much, much appreciated. Also, nodebb works with mongodb, so I installed that one too.

I indeed did install nginx after I installed ee and a wp site. I thought that was needed to make nodebb run at forum.mydomain.com instead of a local server with a port.

Thank you so much! Much appreciated.

You will find all your info here : https://easyengine.io/docs/commands/site/create/ You can create different type of website with ee and it will also create mysql or use the php version of your choice.

EE will not install mongodb so you can do it yourself, but for nginx, php and mysql EE can do it.
