Hi.

You are going to have to provide us with a lot more information.

Nginx conf, logs, screenshots etc.

Read this for some ideas:

The most common reason behind the class of your issue is incorrect `Site_Url` setting. Can you please check if you have it correctly set up or not?

Check - `Administration` \> `General` \> `Site URL` - make sure the value is the exact string you use in your address bar to naviagate to your rc instance. The template is - `[protocol]://[domain_or_ip][:optional port][/optional subpath]`

I don’t know. What was the previous site url?

You’re going to need to update the database directly. How to connect to the daemon, the name of the database - depends on the deployment method.

An example query would look like the following -

```javascript
db.rocketchat_uploads.find({}).forEach(function(cursor) {
    cursor.url = cursor.url.replace(`^${ RegExp([OLD_SITE_URL]) }\/`, "[NEW_SITE_URL]/");
    db.rocketchat_uploads.save(cursor);
})

```

Granted that I’m not the best (or experienced) at writing MQL queries, without knowing the version of your mongo server, I can’t recommend anything less generic any way. For example you could use `updateMany`, but that’s only available starting version 4.2

Finally, before you attempt to use it, **PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE** back up your existing data FIRST.

If you need more help, surely let me know 🙂
