Most 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:

firewall.mp4

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.

This video shows an example of configuring an AWS linux server fire wall to do this:

Other tips.

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