Did you read the first sentence in that guide that says that if you’re doing a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) you don’t need to follow that guide?

Is this a recent [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)? Did you run `discourse-setup`?

It looks like you may have port 80 (and perhaps also port 443) blocked for incoming connections.
