Hi, I am new to Discouse and got stuck during the installation. I built an Ubuntu Server 18.04 virtual machine, then roughly followed the installation instructions . When I say roughly, I mean rather than the cloud server, I am using the Ubuntu Server. I did not install Docker, but rather let disco…

Is nginx installed on the server? It shouldn’t be. But discourse-setup should have detected that. Are you sure that your DNS is correct?

Nginx is not installed on the server. As far as DNS is concerned, I have an A record and PTR record for the server. What other requirements are there? Marc.

The only way to see that page is if you’ve directed DNS to the wrong server, or NGINX is outside the container, occupying port 80 and preventing the container from responding.

If I point my web browser directly at the server’s IP address, I also get the Nginx welcome page. When SSHed to the Ubuntu server: marc@community:~$ locate nginx /var/discourse/image/base/install-nginx marc@community:~$ In addition, while on the Ubuntu server: sudo find / -iname "*nginx*" …lo…

Show us the result of: lsof -i:80

The command lsof -i:80 does not give any output.

Looks like you are right. Output from running nmap on my laptop to the server’s IP address: Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-04-10 23:34 AEST Nmap scan report for community.aureus-group-sb.com (192.168.12.35) Host is up (0.0010s latency). Not shown: 999 closed ports PORT STATE …

Remember, a network issue could be, but isn’t limited to: Policy on the VM blocking access (ufw or similar) Policy on the virtual server blocking access (network mode not configured correctly) Policy on the network not configured correctly (ACLs between subnets) DNS incorrectly configured It’s on…

At the moment I am mainly in it for the learning aspect of getting this setup. Once I have that under control, we will certainly look at hosting options. Looking at the network aspects you listed, ufw is inactive and iptables is running: I have made no changes to the default installation of Ubunt…
