Not able to access to ArangoDB web interface

Question

I've installed ArangoDB on an Ubuntu server. I can connect with arangosh but not able to connect from the web interface.

Tried so many things like in conf files :

tcp://0.0.0.0:8529

tcp://my.server.ipaddress:8529

tcp://myservern.ndd:8529

Always getting : ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Answer 1

The reason is the tcp://. Its intended if you use arangosh as a client to ArangoDB or via a driver.

If you use your browser, you should use regular http:// - so in your case:

http://my.server.ip.address:8529/

or...

http://myserver.ndd:8529

You should also make sure that no firewall is blocking the connection (e.g. port not open), and revalidate

netstat -alnpt

that arangod really listens to 0.0.0.0:8529

Answer 2

It was actually because the port 8529 was not opened so I opened it with :

sudo ufw allow 8529

And don't forget to add your domain instead of localhost IP on arangod.conf :

endpoint = tcp://your.dev.ndd:8529
