CWP Chat+

is anyone using Centos CWP for their server and also have a running Chat+ server. I am having an issue with the proxy setup. All is setup properly, but not getting the Chat+ when going to the url without :3000.

chat.fowler.gq:3000 works fine but trying to get chat.fowler.gq to work and it isnt.

This is what i have in the conf file for the subdomain:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName chat.fowler.gq
    ServerAlias www.chat.fowler.gq
    ServerAdmin webmaster@chat.fowler.gq
        <Location />
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                ProxyPass http://localhost:3000/
                ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:3000/
        </Location>

</VirtualHost>

I got it to work once then tried to upgrade the chat server and never got it working again.. 

I looked at CWP but didn't like it.  The only control panel I care for is Webmin and if you must have the extra stuff for users; Virtualmin. 

 i tried webmin, but couldnt get dns settings to work. I will try again now that I know a bit more. CWP made it easy to learn. I prefer WHM, but you gotta $15 a month for it.

let me add - every other time in which I have installed Chat+ (Rocket.Chat), it was on a server that did not have a webhost control panel of any kind. This is the first time I am trying it with one.

WHM; I found it horrible.  Usually bundled WHM for cPanel.

I haven't used the BIND DNS server with Webmin; I just use an external one that allows me full access to creating records so no need to run my own.

Note: are you using FirewallD?  I have found issues with FirewallD and stopped using it.  I don't see a need for zones on a server intended for such things as websevers, mail servers etc.  I had an instance where FirewallD was not properly handling rules.  I removed it, installed iptables and set up the rules and my problems went away.  FirewallD may be the reason for your Chat+ issues.

cwp uses CSF - i use firewalld when not using a manager - have no issues with either firewalls. I got so mixed up with my servers, I am starting from scratch.

One thing I noticed- RChat doesnt work with a fresh install. The listed dependencies are not all of the dependencies.

I do recall the missing dependencies problem as well even with centos/cPanel install.  Or the version numbers of two dependencies where out of sync with each other... 

I know not helpful as i don't recall which ones. 

quick update - I managed to get it all working.

Centos 7.6 on VMWare 12

php 7.3.5

3 separate instances of Chat+ (boonex version) running simultaneously

chat subdomain showing like I want it - without the port at the end of the url (chat.weltonsworld.ml)

come to find out - in CWP there is a page that allows you to set the domain or subdomain to a proxy. Also, I was using the default /public_html folder when creating the subdomains - since i wasnt using a directory anyways, I thought it didnt matter. I switched to /chat - an empty folder, and things are working fine - so far.
