Connect grunt instance from the web on remote vm

Question

Hello I am running a grunt instance on a koding vm. I want to be able to connect to the grunt instance from the web so i can actually see my work.

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name Timer
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2685/grunt       off (0.00/0/0)

It seems I am listening on the port with the grunt server, but when I try to access:

http://ubkkc6631b3c.bogdanmaier.koding.io:9000

It returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Any Idea why? Or how can i fix this?

Grunt.js:

...
 connect: {
      options: {
        port: 9000,
        // Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
        hostname: '0.0.0.0',
        livereload: 35729
      },
...

EDIT:

From terminal

WGET http://ubkkc6631b3c.bogdanmaier.koding.io:9000

Result:

Answer 1

The configurations are correct. The reason for the this problem was the closed port in the network I was at that time. So consider testing with a different network if you think you got all the settings right. :)
