Hello,
Recently, I have just successfully installed this forum into my server machine. But instead of just running a single Discourse forum on the machine, I combined it with cpanel web host for running custom html for other contents that I need. So I followed the How to set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites guide from the howto section. It works perfectly but the tutorial only provided with http with HAProxy. Then, I did a little research on getting SSL to work with HAProxy, it turned out its just pointing certificates in HAProxy. And Okay, that is solved, but here comes another problem, since I had to change the port in order for it to not conflict with each other, I decided to change Discourse’s app.yml from 443:443 to 4445:443 but whenever I rebuild the apps and tries to get into the site with that port, it doesn’t tend to want to load. (I also disabled the port 80:80 which I changed to 8888:80 (which works fine)) Lastly, the problem with my domain, since I’m using Cpanel, when I set the Cname community to point to my domain, I always get to the page Cpanel defaultpage where nothing could be found. I was wondering if it’s possible to have the subdomain point to the discourse forum instead of pointing in the folders.
The way I setup my subdomain for this purpose was (Since I use cloudflare for my dns) I setup a Cname of community pointing to my ipaddress of the machine, and usually I would create the subdomain in cpanel as well, but since I believe it will conflict each other, so I didn’t create a subdomain in cpanel with community.
To summarize my issues
- SSL Port not working when changed to something other than 443
- SubDomain not working due to Cpanel, even though I have the domain setup correctly
Here’s my discourse app.yml file, I have removed my domain and email w/ password for security

Here’s my HAProxy config

Was wondering if anyone has tried this and succeed before (Cpanel w/ discourse and w/ SSL Enabled)
Any help would be appreciated, will try to reply ASAP
