Hello:
I am trying to deploy my rails app on Ubuntu 16.04 adapting this tutorial.
I have gone through all the steps and when I visit the IP address I get “unable to connect, Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at IP address”
I have checked my logs and none of them show any sign of errors: nginx.access.log

Hello,
For anyone stumbling on the question,
Based on the information provided, it’s possible that the app is not running properly or is not listening on the correct port or the port is not allowed. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check if your app is listening on the correct port
Your app should be listening on a specific port, which you can check by running the following command:
sudo netstat -plunt | grep LISTEN
Look for a line that contains the port your app is supposed to be running on (usually port 80 or 3000). If you don’t see it, then your app is not listening on the correct port.
- Check if your firewall is blocking traffic
Make sure that your firewall is not blocking incoming traffic to the port your app is running on. You can check this by running the following command:
sudo ufw status
If your firewall is enabled, make sure to allow incoming traffic to the correct port using the following command:
sudo ufw allow <port>/tcp
Replace <port> with the port your app is running on (usually port 80 or 3000).
- Check your Nginx configuration
Make sure your Nginx configuration is correct by running the following command:
sudo nginx -t
This will check if your Nginx configuration has any syntax errors. If it does, fix them and restart Nginx using the following command:
sudo service nginx restart
If you have followed all these steps and are still unable to connect to your app, please provide more information about your setup and any error messages you see in your logs.
