Setup questions about filebazaar

Are you accessing the webserver through localhost, or is it running on a remote server?

Try setting the url configuration option in _filebazaar.yaml to the same URL you're using to access the web interface with your browser.

It's running on an Ubuntu VPS. I did try that, but it's not putting the port number into the url when I click links, so they're going to port 80 instead, which of course isn't listening.

[chrisguida]

Oh hey! I put the port number in the url: field and now the links work and there's a style applied to the website! I guess that's what I was missing :)

[chrisguida]

Sweet! Just sold myself a file! It's working!!

Maybe change the docs to say that if you're hosting on a remote URL to be sure to include [:port] at the end of the url config field?

[shesek]

Awesome! Glad it worked out.

Have you seen the changes in 3567471 (made in response to this issue)? It mentions that the default is http://{host}:{port}/, which hints that you should be including the port number. Do you think that's clear enough, or should I clarify this further?

[chrisguida]

I didn't see that, but no, the problem is that it doesn't default to http://{host}:{port}; it defaults to http://{host}, it seems to be ignoring the value in port.

[chrisguida]

I had to explicitly say http://my-url.com:9678 to get it to work.

This is pretty strange, it definitely looks like it should be adding the port number:

filebazaar/src/lib/config.js

Line 15 in 3567471

config.url = config.url || process.env.URL || `http://${config.host}:${config.port}/`

It it possible that you had url set in the config file or as the URL environment variable, without the port number?
