In the module "Describe Azure compute and networking services" -> "Exercise - Configure network access" - > "Task 1: Access your web server" -> Excersize 2 (curl --connect-timeout 5 http://$IPADDRESS) I get the error "(3) URL rejected: No host part in the URL"
Running "echo $IPADDRESS" displays nothing.
However, I can see the Public IP in Azure for "my-vm"
Kindly advise,
Thank you,
Tamir

Good afternoon, I was running into the same issue, then I realized I was using the Private IP versus Public IP. Training overload

Hi, I am also running into the issue, it seems as if nginx isn't running on the VM, so the custom script is having some kind of error in the creation section. If I try the curl command while overriding the variable by typing the public IP, it just doesn't work. Please help, thank you.
Hi Michael Barton,
Where are you seeing the error?
AZ-900 Learning Path Describe Azure compute and networking services, Module 9 of 14 Exercise - Configure network access
Step 1: To access your web server, start by taking the IP address of the VM you created in an earlier lesson (Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine) and store it as a variable. Note that if it has been more than an hour, the sandbox and all related resources will have been removed, and the variable will not be created correctly.
If you are still encountering issues and need additional troubleshooting, please let me know and provide screenshots of the error. I hope this has been helpful!
Thank you.
Hello @Tamir Basin !
Welcome to Microsoft QnA!
It seems that the IPADDRESS is not declared into the console you are using
Declare it as $IPADDRESS= 1.1.1.1 ( your ip)
and re try !
