Hi;
I’ve purchased a VPS from digital ocean and used there one click install for discourse droplet.
After entering the domain name etc. and doing the standard set up. Every time I go to my vps ip address (discourse has been installed on the main domain which I’ve pointed to the vps ip). Every time I go to the vps ip. It keeps saying:
This site can’t be reached (MY-VPS-IP) refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection [Checking the proxy and the firewall] ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I’ve opened the http and https ports as well and thats showing as open when I run the sudo ufw status command.
I’ve tried clearing my cache in case its a browser local issue; but still no luck.

Hello,
I just tested this with the latest version of the Discourse 1-Click installation and it seems to be working now as expected.
There are a few things that you need to keep in mind:
- If you specify a domain name that has been recently pointed to your Droplet’s IP address, note that it might take a while for the DNS to propagate over the Globe
- If you do not have a domain name yet, you could use the IP as the hostname during the setup
- Make sure that the credentials for the SMTP server are correct
Regards, Bobby
