@Panda because there is no match for the DNS entry specified. The receiving web server parses the headers looking for a destination hostname to match, and anything the web server is unable to resolve will be sent back to the root.
NodeBB: Favicon upload issue
-
@phenomlab Would this route work as it seems simpler: Go to ACP > Advanced > Cache?
-
@mventures No. The
nginx
server it the web server itself. The ACP is the NodeBB application - they are completely seperated. -

@phenomlab Oh my! Sounds scary again. I read this old post about SSH, and I am not so sure if I want to take any risks

I am back - I read the SSH documentation and looks like a “no, can’t do” for me, unless I get handheld training followed by a bit of practice, I don’t think I can do it. Unfortunately/fortunately, I will need to trouble you again for this cache clearance. (FYI - I have a list of coffees owed, and this one is in it)

@mventures Having taken a look at this, the
favicon.ico
file is required in two places to work - one is in/public/uploads/system
and the other is inpublic
at the root level - see belowI’ve tested this against a favicon checker, and it now works - I used the one you uploaded for the touchicon to generate it.

Hey @phenomlab, Thanks for looking into this! Did you make the change?
Because I can still see the BB logo as the favicon on the desktop (safari, chrome) and the mobile.
But on an iPad, I can see my favicon. -
I have the same problem. I never managed to solve it.
There is always a moment when I see that of NodeBB when I have nowhere on the server (nginx cache dump, cloudflare, nodebb, etc…)
-
@DownPW Yes, it can be sporadic, but in the case of @mventures it should be resolved.
For example, viewing the site in incognito mode
And also checking with several
favicon
testers@mventures can you try with a browser you’ve never used before, or perhaps an incognito tab? If that doesn’t work, also try the below
- Open Google Chrome
- Navigate to the website
- Open the developer tools (press F12)
- Click and hold the browser reload button so that the advanced options appear
- Select the option to “Empty cache and hard reload”
-
@phenomlab I am on a Mac, so I used the “Option + Command + I”, and then performed the steps. It loaded my favicon! I checked on Firefox which I haven’t used before, and it showed my favicon also! That’s fantastic and thank you for the help!
