Problem with SiteURL

Hi - I’ve installed mattermost on my ubuntu 22, configured nginx as a reverse proxy, added a fqdn and users can register and connect from it. My problem is that I can’t configure the SiteURL, it keeps failing and I can’t figure out exactly what the problem is.

What do you mean by “I can’t configure the SiteURL, it keeps failing”?

Could you post the first config section of your config.json that contains the SiteURL option?

I did the configuration in a lab and everything worked fine by adding a dummy domain in /etc/host. Now I’m in production I’ve finished the configuration with a fqdn this time but when I run the SiteURL test it’s invalid. I’ve looked at the mattermost server logs and I don’t have any errors, only warnings.

I use nginx as a reverse proxy which receives requests on port 80 and redirects them to 443 before sending them to the mattermost backend. Here’s the beginning of the configuration in my config.json file

Yes thanks for the help

What do you mean by that? What “SiteURL test”? And “invalid” in what matter?

I was able to open the url and see the login screen without any errors.

How is your nginx proxy talking to Mattermost? You may need to set the SiteURL to match that.

Thank you for your help, it worked!!
