Discourse pals, please help! I’ve followed the 30-minute Discourse installation instructions, but when I enter in my address the browser (Safari & Chrome) both say they can’t connect to the server. Details: -ran the installation code in Terminal with root ssh -Docker installed and working properly, hello world tests run -have a 1GB droplet with Digital Ocean -SMTP run and verified through Elastic Email -at no time has the address worked (community.fatbesties.ca), nor the IP (159.203.41.177) -I’ve run DNS tests and they come back without any errors Thanks in advance for any input on this!

I doubt that either your installation didn’t complete successfully or there is some firewall rule blocking discourse. Can you confirm that your installation completed successfully?

How would I go about confirming that?

[תמונה] fatbesties: -at no time has the address worked (community.fatbesties.ca), nor the IP (159.203.41.177) You have 2 name servers and IP addresses showing for your domain. You are using the 2nd name server and the 2nd IP address. Have you tried using the first of each? Normally traffic is directed to the first, and in case of a power outage to the second. However, entering just your second and first level domains fatbeasties.ca does bring up your “This is a private site…” page. All other ways of trying fail. Have you checked your ports?
