Hello, I’ve setup bitnami discourse here, [http://34.139.129.190/](http://34.139.129.190/) on GCP, and I have added an A record to point it to here, [forum.employ.com](http://forum.employ.com) Unfortunately the subdomain appears to just spin…but the IP address loads no problem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jake ---

You’ll need do a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) or ask the Bitnami people for help. Discourse typically won’t work on an ip. ---

Okay, I understand. I was hoping given it was basically a standard looking install someone here might have a pointer on how to get this working. Looks like it’s the case of 99% done, but 100% have to start from scratch. Thanks for the help. - Jake ---

If you somehow have data in the existing instance you should be able to make a backup and restore to the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true). ---

No data, just a bare install. ---

As Jay has mentioned we can’t help with the bitnami install. That package exists to promote bitnami and has historically caused all kinds of headache. Follow the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) on a fresh VPS and see how you go.
