I’ve just installed Discourse onto an Azure Ubuntu server using the 30 minute install guide. When it finished the web site hadn’t started. I than ran ./launcher start and got the error: Config file was not found, ensure containers/.yml exists Available configs ( app ) I ran ./launcher rebuild app and then ran than ran ./launcher start and got the same error: Config file was not found, ensure containers/.yml exists Available configs ( app )

I think you want to run ./launcher start app (though running ./launcher rebuild app should have started the app)

[imagem] cpradio: ./launcher start app /var/discourse# ./launcher start app f50c3196399d Nothing to do, your container has already started! When I connect to the IP address or URL I get a ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. How do I troubleshoot this further from here?

I would start rummaging through /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log to see if anything seems related and post that here

I do several installs each week; it is not clear what the problem here might be, but it’s almost certainly not one that is on the Discourse side of things. This problem is likely something like getting the IP number wrong or a firewall setting.

Hi Jay, I’ve just installed Discourse onto an Azure Ubuntu server 16 using the 30 minute install guide. What log file should I upload? root@ProdServer:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log# ls apt auth.log dpkg.log kern.log nginx syslog unattended-upgrades By the way, I also installed Discourse onto my local Ubuntu Desktop 16 using the 30 minute install guide. No issue found. Is this because of Azure/Ubuntu Server network setting? Thanks. Felix

Sounds like Ubuntu works and azure doesn’t to me. Not a wall I want to bang my head on.

Jay I can pay you to do a $99 install test on Azure / Ubuntu Server just to see if it works. No need to bother setting up email, just see if it installs and loads? Because I am curious. It should work.

Trying to get me to bang my head? :smiling_face:

It really should work. And only $99 of head banging, no email needed. :sign_of_the_horns:
