shell in a box not working

[Cupar19]

so i just setup shell in a box but it is not working

 

if i start the service it states that it is already running

but if i go to my public ip:4200 nothing comes up

 

same with localhost:4200

 

any ideas

if you have access to the command line, do a netstat and look at what ports are listening.

 

$ netstat -lp

 

That should tell you if its running and listening.

 

Now you say public IP, is this hosted in the cloud or at home?

ok, were you able to run Netstat? were you able to find the open port?

Localhost is your machine you're opening the browser on. Makes sense that doesn't work  

 

And in order to have it work from your public IP, port 4200 must be forwarded in your router.

yes the port is open and is 4200

cool, If the port is showing that means the app is working.

 

Beside the port is it showing 127.0.0.1(localhost) or one of your private IP address?
