how to point to a domain

[Trax]

Hi,

How do i change the billmanager to be used under a domain instead of the ip?

Example:

Current setup points to https://111.111.11.123/billmgr

I would like it to run under https://mysub.domain.com/billmgr

Okay so i've installed nginx. When i paste the code and try to restart nginx i get an error.

server {
	server_name bill.thecompany.com ns1.thecompany.com;
	listen 172.31.223.13:80;
	return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
	server_name bill.thecompany.com ns1.thecompany.com;
	listen 172.31.223.13:443;
	ssl on;
	ssl_certificate "/usr/local/mgr5/etc/manager.crt";
	ssl_certificate_key "/usr/local/mgr5/etc/manager.key";
	ssl_ciphers HIGH:!RC4:!aNULL:!eNULL:!MD5:!EXPORT:!EXP:!LOW:!SEED:!CAMELLIA:!IDEA:!PSK:!SRP:!SSLv2;
	ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
	ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
        add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000;";
        client_max_body_size 20m;
 
	set $mgr_proxy "https://172.31.223.13:1500";
        set $mgr_secret "thie3uNg";
 
        location ^~ /manimg/ {
 		alias /usr/local/mgr5/skins/;
 	}
 	location / {
 		proxy_pass $mgr_proxy;
 		proxy_redirect $mgr_proxy /;
 		proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
 		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
 		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
 		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Secret $mgr_secret;
  		chunked_transfer_encoding off;
  	}
 
 	location ^~ /mancgi/ {
 	        proxy_pass $mgr_proxy;
 	        proxy_redirect $mgr_proxy /;
 	        proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
 	        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
 	        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
 	        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
 	        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Secret $mgr_secret;
 	        chunked_transfer_encoding off;
 	}
}

How would i place the code correctly?

My nginx.conf file

user  nginx;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Thanks

Hello,

Did you change ip address from 172.31.223.13 to ip of your server? Also ihttpd can be started on 443 port and doesn't let nginx start.

And what exactly error did you get?

[fly]

Actually, if you have only BILLmanager is installed on the server, you don't need install Nginx. Our web server called ihttpd is listening on 443 port. And it is enough to point your domain to ip of your server to make BILLmanager works via domain.name

Yes i changed the ip.

The error was that nginx failed to restart due to an error. I can't remember the exact error, i will post it later today.

Yes, i have just done this which works however i want to pass the A records through Cloudflare but when i do i get an 521 Host Error.

Any ideas why?

[fly]

When you visit a website using Cloudflare, you may receive an error 521. This error occurs because the origin web server refused the connection from CloudFlare.

You need to start ihttpd on 443 port or set up nginx and start it.

Ok, i have managed to get the billmanager to work on the url i want, i now need to figure out how to install an ssl so i can accept paypal payments.

Any ideas how?

Ps Billmanager is installed on it's own with no control panel.

In order to install SSL-certificate, you will need to configure the file as described here

certkey <path to the file key of the SSL-certificate>
cert <path to the SSL-certificate's file>
