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 try to rerun the ./discourse-setup and see if I get any errors?

Looks like there is some kind of firewall blocking connections on port 80 & 443. are you sure those ports are open? where is your forum hosted?

I’m using SkySilk VPS, I’ll try to open those ports, don’t remember doing that

Ok, I allowed those ports via ufw, does that take time to update?

You allowed for incoming right? It should be instant. Though it still reports connection refused to me.

I did ufw allow 84 ufw allow 443 In the terminal, is there something else I need to do? It returned Rule Updated (v6) for both of them

What does it return with sudo ufw status

Is this a discourse or dns issue

‘A’ record looks fine … DNS seems to have propagated … the issue is on your server I suggest.

The HTML returned is showing some basic Ember.

Are you getting any build errors?
