Question
Error on setup + Domain clarification
Well, first and foremost, I’m new to this whole thing. I have no background on this type of thing, so if you are able to help me, give it to me like a 5th grader.

After Googling, I found out that I needed to use nginx. Without thinking, I installed nginx in the same directory as nodebb which just made everything blow up on my end. So I wiped the droplet to start over. Since then, I’ve had an issue on reinstalling nodebb as it continuously give me this error:
