server created but cannot access web page
Added by kris hewes about 5 years ago
hi all,
I think I do not understand how servers work exactly. But I thought that once the server was created, I would be able to type the IP address into the url bar and then the webpage would be displayed?
Please let me know what I do not comprehend, what to fix, and/or point me in the right direction.
see attached image for the error exactly.
Regards,
Kris H

unsure why 0.0.0.0 wasn't working...but localhost:9090/ worked

0.0.0.0 means it will work on any valid ipv4 on your machine (but not 0.0.0.0 itself).
So yes, 127.0.0.1 or localhost will work, but also the IP on your LAN (like 10.1.1.110) so other devices on your LAN will be able to connect to your server
