I’m trying to setup n8n in a subdomain via a reverse proxy in cloudflare, all went well until I accessed to the dashboard. I’m having this error on the console:

EventSource’s response has a MIME type (“text/html”) that is not “text/event-stream”. Aborting the connection.

This is my config:

If I modify my reverse proxy config. I get these errors:

app.9290f259.js:1 There was a problem loading the node-parameters of node: "Start"

Hey @sirland,

Are you using PM2 for deployment or Docker?

Btw. I just checked locally for me the /push endpoint sends the data as:
Content-Type: text/event-stream;charset=UTF-8

So whatever you have in front of n8n does seem to mess something up.

Hi, @harshil1712 I’m using pm2 for the deployment and using Portzilla in Cloudflare for the reverse proxy.

@jan the “text/event-stream” error seems to be resolved if I deactivate the one-page app compatibility con Portzilla, but I get the “There was a problem loading the node-parameters of node ‘Start’” error *. I don’t know if there is something I’m missing from the n8n configuration. The tunnel from n8n cloud seems to be working fine, but I want to use my own domain since I’m using n8n on production.

Hey @sirland,

I recently wrote a blog post on How to set up n8n via PM2, which also covers how to configure a reverse proxy (Nginx) and point your instance to a domain. Maybe this might be useful for you: How to set up n8n via PM2

Thank you very much @harshil1712 I’ll try your guide and tell you how it went.
