On Friday I hosted a WordPress site on my micro instance - I installed LAMP stack, and WordPress on it.
Instance state is Running, but when I try to access website with public domain given in console, it says
web page Not available
I have set an Outbound rule to allow everyone and Inbound rule for my IP address only.
This is about accessing website from outside world, but when I try to connect to my instance with JAVA Interface, MindTerm Web SSH, it says
Network connection timeout error
Can't figure out anything, Just started working on AWS.
I think you have confused the Outbound and Inbound rules - Outbound means traffic going out from the server, while Inbound means traffic from the internet to the server.
As you say, you added an Inbound rule for your IP address only, and you can access the website from you IP only, just like you requested.
Add an Inbound rule for port 80 for0.0.0.0/0, and you should be able to access the site from other locations as well.
If you need to open it to HTTP and SSH, open it for both for 0.0.0.0/0:
Please verify your settings and permission based on this :
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/TroubleshootingInstancesConnecting.html
You might also want to check your firewall, in case that is blocking the access..

I'm trying to connect WordPress instance on google cloud with the custom domain but I'm having this error
This site can’t be reachedquotivy.com refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
What I found it wired is that the domain is working on Tor browser and not working on Chrome and Safari, and I tried to take an online screenshot from it and it's working & I ping the domain and seems working too! not so sure what to debug or do to fix this bug!
This is a sample URL: https://quotivy.com/rumi/when-the-world-pushes-you-to-your-knees/
How it looks like on my browsers:
Custome DNS on my google cloud
If you have moved the site recently then check in your database (either domain.com/phpmyadmin or SSH if Cloud SQL) for references to the old domain and update to the new domain. This includes moving from http to https
In GCP Compute Engine VM Instance settings, make sure to allow http and allow https traffic. You may want to assign a static IP in GCP Console > VPC Network > External IP addresses
Lastly you may need to update etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf to make sure your servername matches your WordPress domain name
Forgive me here, I am largely post-technical for 10+ years and taken this as far as I can. I can probably take any advice and run with it, but may ask for some specifics to help if troubleshooting tools or commands are required. So please forgive that too.
Background:
Yesterday we could hit site URL after restarting VM hosted on Google Cloud. Sometime overnight, the URL was inaccessible.
Message:
This site can’t be reached <URL> refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Troubleshooting:
can load using IP.
The technical guys (3rd party suppliers) insist they have not made any changes. My team have not made any changes.
The domain is still valid (it renews tomorrow)
The domain is used for the DEV environment with DEV as a prefix hosted on another VM.
Looking at firewall rules, all the rules with the proper tags appear to be set up correctly for HTTPS with appropriate IP (0.0.0.0) and port 80.
Many thanks in advance for your help. When I find the answer, I will post it here.
RESOLVED:
ROOT CAUSE:
During setup on GCP, the team forgot to link the reserved external IP address to the VM. As such, the external IP address was ephemeral so after a reboot of the server, Google issued a new external IP for the VM.
SOLUTION:
Reserve a static external IP Address and link it to the VM or promote an existing ephemeral external IP Address.

I've been trying to set up a server using Google Compute Engine but find myself being stuck.
I've installed everything that needs to be installed, I can start the server, no problem. Only thing is, i'm unable to connect to the server.
I've opened the required ports in a firewall rule (udp:16261; tcp:16262-16270) for all source IP as normal, but when I try to connect, i get this message on the server's console :
User jet is trying to connect.
Connected new client jet ID # 0 and assigned DL port 16262
testing TCP download port 16262
And it waits and waits, nothin happens. I'm pretty sure it's because no connection has been requested from the outsite of the network on that specific port (16262) that the outgoing traffic can't be sent, but I was wondering if anyone else has tried to make it work.
Thanks for your help guys !
According to the documentation; in the "Forwarding Required Ports" Section:
Project Zomboid dedicated servers require the following open ports to successfully connect to clients:
8766 UDP
16261 UDP
If the client's public ip address is known, you can perform a basic troubleshooting whitin Google Compute Engine using Cloud Logging. A basic query returning all the logs containing that ip address as source or destination would be:
jsonPayload.connection.src_ip="public-ip-address" OR jsonPayload.connection.dest_ip="public-ip-address"
Firewall Rules Logging has to be "on" for every rule involved in the connection. Follow these steps for Enabling firewall rules logging.
For troubleshooting purposes an "allow all" Firewall rule can be created and logging enabled on it, that would allow you to see exactly what ports are involved.
Note: If the traffic hitting the firewall rule(s) is too much, it can lead to unanticipated storage costs. Please enable the firewall rules logging just for troubleshooting purposes, don't forget to disable it after you're done.
I have an IIS7 site that works fine while on the server, however refuses to work from anywhere on the network.
When logged onto the IIS Server itself (with remote desktop) then the website shows fine, as per this link (I used port 801 for this site):
http://localhost:801/
However when attempting to access this site from the network, it refuses to work, giving the generic 'cannot display the webpage' message, while using the following link:
http://<<my IIS server>>:801/
Another thing I have noticed however is that on the network the default page (port 80) of the IIS server DOES work. I.E this following link shows the standard IIS7 page:
http://<<my IIS server>>:80/
Most of the help topics I've read point to it being a firewall issue, however as a test I disabled all firewall settings on the IIS Server, yet it still refused to show.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Many thanks
Did you tried with computer name and / or IP Address
e.g: http://192.168.1.105:80/
http://DELL_PC:80/
Run the following tests:
Check connectivity from both computers.
Firewall settings, temporary disable the firewall from all profiles (private, domain, public) if this works, try adding a Port Rule to your firewall allowing incoming connections to port 80.
Also, it'd be important to check the bindings configuration of your website, bindings specify the address the server should listen to for incoming connections, make sure you have 'All Unassigned'.

Hi i am developing a website and want to test it on local machine
the flow is like this:
A -- my website
B -- third-party website
From A a request is sent to B with a url eg: http://mywebsite/abc.aspx which is a url on which B reports success or error.
so i need to define the url to report to
for this i need to give a absolute url or path.
thats why i cannot test it on local machine and have to upload it and test it.
but this doesn't allows me to track down errors and debug it.(through break points.)
so i am trying to get the local machine address like "http://123.456.7.8/abc.aspx"
but doesn't seems to work.
my pc is running on windows xp and is connected to router and my pc is in a network and i think that's why gets a dynamic IP.
have also tried public ip address but no luck.
any work around or help for this.
I believe you're trying to get an external website to contact your local PC. Your local PC is behind a router and getting a private IP from your local router.
You'll need to supply the external website with an address that has the external IP of your router and configure your router to forward incoming requests to yuor PC.
i.e. to forward port 80 on the router to port 80 on your XP machine.
Thus when the external website, tries the contact http://1.2.3.4/abc.aspx it will talk to your router, that will then pass ("forward") the request onto your PC at e.g. http://192.168.0.1/abc.aspx.
I believe You can try to use your Machine name.
You can set up a local DNS server or simply utilize hosts file, to cheat your web browsers. For example, register test.com to your machine's IP address, and then you can use http://test.com to access IIS default web site (or your web site on IIS if you configure it for the default URL).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29
This is a typical approach to test out web application locally.
try hosting your website on IIS and then give fix IP to your system and try to access it with your IP. Another thing is get your global IP (you can check it from Whatismyip.com ) and set it in your binding in IIS for getting request to it from across the internet.
