Issue installing MSSql server on Ubuntu 22.04

Question

While trying to install mssql server on my Ubuntu VPS following Microsoft documentation, i'm encountering error 504 running the command below.

root@eloquent-engelbart:~# curl -fsSL https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/mssql-server-2022.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-server-2022.list

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 504

Answer 1

The 504 means curl timed out trying to connect. Check outgoing port (443) is open. Also use nslookup to validate dns.

Answer 2

Hi @Ifeanyi Nwagbara，

The requested URL returned error: 504

Seems like a gateway timeout error.

To configure SQL Server on Ubuntu, run the following commands in a terminal to install the mssql-server package.

You may check this documentation to see if you have missed any steps.
