I went through the installation on my Linux machine, I went thru the ./discourse-setup and all went well, it said it would take a few minutes for the bootstrap stuff to set up, I have my website setup to make the IP address of my VPS go to forum.origingaming.net I created that A Name around a day ago, whenever I go to my website it says: # This site can’t be reached **forum.origingaming.net** is currently unreachable. ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED Is this due to me installing discourse wrong or is it an issue with my DNS?

Should I enable it via sudo ufw enable?

[image] SamBehner: Status: inactive So it’s not UFW! try contacting your customer support if they have some other network based firewall in place. Ps: is your IP 64.190.xxx.xxx ?? [image] SamBehner: Should I enable it via sudo ufw enable? Don’t complicate things by adding another variable, let it be disabled unless it is at least online.

Yeah my IP starts with that, I will contact customer support now, should I ask why ufw is disabled?

[image] SamBehner: should I ask why ufw is disabled? No, You should ask them if they block public connections over port 80 & 443 with some sort of firewall, and if Yes, how to allow connections to your IP/VPS?

I totally missed this, Apologies about it! What are the outputs of: sudo netstat -peant | grep ":80 " sudo netstat -peant | grep ":443 "

It said netstat command not found EDIT: Installing net-tools rn so I can do i EDIT: Apparently I can’t post any more messages because I’m a new member, so I’ll just edit this When I did the netstat for “:80 “ it returned nothing, same with 443

If the IP works but not the domain name it’s a dns problem.

[image] pfaffman: If the IP works but not the domain name it’s a dns problem. Jay, not so sure … both domain and IP address are returning the same HTML for me.

When I did the netstat for “:80 “ it returned nothing, same with 443 (had to make new account to continue conversation because I had some new member limit)

Is this a discourse or dns issue
