so on a forum im a part of it was working then the owner set it to show mailcow when people visit the forum then they removed it so i refreshed my browser updated the device but still see this
and when i go to a topic sent via the forum’s auto matic email notifcations i see this
so i remove the topic name and just have the url and well it just shows mail cow again.
I’ve tried restarting etc i know the forums back because i get notifed of some topics.
why is this issue happening?
The owner has changed the DNS/some server config so the forum is unreachable now was unreachable. It is working for me now.
@tobiaseigen can probably tell you more.
There are many ways to do that, I don’t think this is relevant now. Can you see if the forum works for you now? You might want to restart your browser to get your cache cleared.
Explain how one might do that?
do what? restart browser and clear cache? use google
The DNS, I believe. RGJ added OP’s quote later.
Richard is right this has nothing to do with discourse. You just have to clear the cache in your Web browser.
The cause of this was a misconfigured reverse proxy on a very much unsupported install. I have a discourse multisite installed on the same server as Mailcow and Nextcloud. I fixed it very quickly last week so it should be working for everyone visiting my discourse sites by now.
Hey thanks for reporting this @ice.d! I just had another look myself and after clearing the cache on my phone and turning off wifi, I saw the same mailcow login!
With some help from AI, I learned that because my server has IPv6 my reverse proxy config has to listen for IPv6 as well as IPv4. Apparently mobile networks prefer IPv6.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80; # ← add this
server_name discourse.tobiaseigen.org;
...
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl; # ← add this
server_name discourse.tobiaseigen.org;
...
}
