I’ve made it successfully through most of the instructions to install Graylog on Centos 7 but when I get to this step the browser gives the error: 104.236.137.61 refused to connect.

Here’s the part of the instructions I was following, replacing my droplet’s IP address for the placeholder: http://graylog_public_IP:9000/

I’m not sure if this would affect it or not but I do have Nginx and ghost installed on this machine with two virtual hosts, one using ghost and other just ordinary /var/www/html with HTML files and so on. I’m not sure if that’s relevant to this situation or not.

    Just to clarify, you’re talking about this guide?

    Have you opened the firewall to allow port 9000 ?

    How To Install Graylog 1.x on CentOS 7
    by Mitchell Anicas
    In this tutorial, we will cover how to install Graylog v1.3.x (sometimes referred to as Graylog2) on CentOS 7, and configure it to gather the syslogs of your systems in a centralized location. Graylog is a powerful log management and analysis tool that has many use cases, from monitoring SSH logins and unusual activity to debugging applications. It is based on Elasticsearch, Java, and MongoDB.

    Yes, those instructions and no I didn’t touch the firewall. I’m sure that’s it. Thank you!!

    I wanted to mark yours as the accepted answer but it looks like it was a comment. If you enter something into an answer I’ll mark it as accepted. If I were in your shoes I’d totally be wracking up answer points for fun. :-)
