So once you have your Iguana instance installed and running successfully - how do you connect to it using your web browser?

If you are running in an AWS instance don’t forget to read the Linux installationsection which described how to configure security rules to open up port 7654.

• Use a command line web client like wget or curl to verify that Iguana’s web server is working.

• Get the public IP address of your server together with the port number (7654 is the default) that Iguana is listening on

• Put them together the complete URL for your web browser - i.e. http://<public IP address:port/

• Reconfigure the firewall for the amazon web server so you can connect to Iguana with your web browser

Page Treeroot@selfstartDepth1Most likely you will need to configure your ‘firewall’ to make it possible to connect your web browser to Iguana. For instance this video shows how to ‘open’ port 7654 on Amazon Web Services to allow us to access Iguana:

...

This video shows the usage of:

./iguana --service status

This tells you three important pieces of information:

• Is Iguana running? If it isn’t running you cannot connect to it.

• Port number the web UI is on - default is 7654

• The public IP address of the server.

The public IP address is the Internet Protocol address that is publicly accessible to the internet: http://<Public IP Address>:7654/

A firewall is a piece of security software which protects a server from malicious people trying to connect via the network to a server. We need to configure the firewall to allow us to send TCP/IP traffic to port 7654. This will then allow our us to connect our browser to Iguana.

• Use a command line web client like wget or curl to verify that Iguana’s web server is working.
