Access Bugzilla in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine

I launched an Ubuntu virtual machine on microsoft azure and connected via ssh into the instance.

I followed all the installation instructions at:

http://bugzilla.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing/quick-start.html

After following the installation instructions, I am able to login into bugzilla via lynx.

The installation worked except I cannot log in to bugzilla on my PC via my browser, (chrome/ edge).

Typing in the IP address results in a timeout error (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). I would expect instead to see the bugzilla login page.

I went to var/www/data and set urlbase in params.json:

"urlbase" : "http://40.127.99.16",

But still I cannot login.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • Typing in the IP address result in a timeout error (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). I would expect instead to see the bugzilla login page.

    This typically means that something between your browser and the server is preventing the connection. Typical culprits are either firewall rules on the remote server itself (managed with iptables), or in the remote cloud environment (managed using some some sort of platform-specific web interface or API).
