Hello,

I Installed Discourse in GCP VM instance Ubuntu Server using 30 minutes official Docs.
I am facing this issue dial tcp myIPaddress:80 getsockopt connection refused.
Kindly give me solution.

You need to setup your domain DNS to point to where discourse is installed

3

I pointed server external IP to A record in DNS.

4

then you need to look at your networking in GCP

5

Did you enable both HTTP Traffic and HTTPS Traffic while creating the VM? If not, you need to do it and also open firewall rules to allow the same.
