Installing: Available on 127.0.0.1 (locally) but not on the public addressout

installation

I followed this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-14-04

When I try to access the public address ( 178.62.20.234 ), I doesn’t respond (I have a timeout after a while).

But when I access it locally with lynx it works well.

My config:

env:
   ...
   DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: '178.62.250.10'

So yeah, any ways to see the logs or is this a newb and common problem ?

There’s a couple weird things with using an IP address as a domain. I suggest you buy a domain and try again.
