Issues getting Flarum to work on new host

[Hari]

@phenomlab sir, do i need to move any files now? or did you fix it ?

[phenomlab]

@Hari Fixed. No need to move anything. It should just “work”

[phenomlab]

@Hari you can go ahead and use sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools to get Redis up and running now. After that, (hopefully) Flarum should boot.

[Hari]

@phenomlab i should also setup cron jobs now searching

[phenomlab]

@Hari This should help

[Hari]

@phenomlab i have added cron job

updated the config file but flarum is not running on IP
when i disable redis its not loading inner pages

[phenomlab]

@Hari That’s expected because you didn’t run sudo apt install redis-server redis-tools
I’ve just done this, and the site now loads.

[Hari]

@phenomlab i did execute that command, the inner discussion pages still not loading

If you’d executed it, then it wouldn’t have installed when I ran it

This is also expected as you haven’t included the .nginx.conf file. Hold on a second.

[phenomlab]

@Hari works now - see config below (highlighted section)

[Hari]

@phenomlab is this config file?

[phenomlab]

@Hari Your NGINX site config file, yes. Essentially, we just include the .nginx.conf file in there so it’s loaded when the site is. You need mod_rewrite for Flarum to work

[Hari]

@phenomlab could you tell me the path of this file

[phenomlab]

@Hari Sending in PM for security reasons

[phenomlab]

@Hari Redis also functioning as expected

[Hari]

@phenomlab i think my server has no proper ssl configured

should i need to set this to default? at domain level (virtualmin server ) lets encrypt also failing to issue certificate

i think i should change IP to my subdomain in nignx file? at the above screenshot area?

[Hari]

@phenomlab

failure reason

Domain: www.ask.domain.com
  Type:   unauthorized
  Detail: No TXT record found at
  _acme-challenge.www.ask.domain.com

[phenomlab]

@Hari You should only apply the certificate at Virtualmin level, so here for example. You’ll need to update your DNS first before you can get a certificate.

[Hari]

@phenomlab sorry, i have no clue where to update DNS

i have pointed ask.domain.com to my DO IP at CF

anything else that needs to be done?

That’s all you need to do. Let me see if I can get the cert to work
