Configure Network Access Exercise Task 4

Question

I have tried to complete this exercise twice on two separate occasions and have completed the work as detailed, but in the final step, the process keeps failing.

I have 42 minutes remaining on my Sandbox at the time of this question. Here is my output:

justin [ ~ ]$ curl --connect-timeout 5 http://$IPADDRESS

curl: (28) Failed to connect to 13.91.104.221 port 80 after 5002 ms: Timeout was reached

Nothing I do will get this connection to go through.

Hi Justin,

When you completed Unit 3 Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine did NGINX install successfully? NGINX is required so that the curl command will work in Unit 9 Exercise - Configure network access.

I tested last week and was able to complete exercise successfully. Please see screenshots below:

Please Activate a new sandbox, complete Unit 3 exercise, then jump to Unit 9 Exercise and complete it.

If you would like to troubleshoot using SSH to the VM, enter below command in your sandbox cloud shell, then enter yes when prompted:

ssh azureuser@$IPADDRESS

See screenshot (I manually entered IP address instead of using $IPADDRESS):

Once you have successfully connected to the VM using SSH, you can run below command to check if NGINX is running:

sudo service nginx status
