Hi, i’m using Cloud9 IDE and trying to create a workspace with Digital Ocean, i’ve followed every step on this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xld1JXd70aY but at about 1:25, after i’ve entered the hostname of the droplet and username as root, i click Create workspace and this error pops up:
Cloud9 couldn’t connect to SSH server root@xxx.xx.x.xx
The droplet i created is Ubuntu Ruby on Rails on 14.04, i’ve tried many things, made sure i added the SSH key to digital ocean, changed username to rails, changed port to 80, i can even access the droplet console and changed password as the email suggests etc but still no luck. What other things could be causing this error?
