Struggling to get access to the remote Mongo database and meteor server

[nwabdou85]

Hy,

My app works perfectly in local but can't connect it to the remote server;
So My connection string was:
ws://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:443/websocket, the port is 433 as the server is an azure web app.

In the real advice , I use the ip of local machine as usual.

Can you help me please, I mis just this one before deploy my first app :)

Thank's

Hi,
change ws://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:443/websocket
to wss://XX.XX.XXX.XXX/websocket

for secure connections you need to supply wss as the protocol.

Let me know how you get on, good luck!

@vermiculite , Thanks a lot for your time;

@nwabdou85 that is a shame. I would make sure you can connect to the server with this chrome extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-websocket-client/pfdhoblngboilpfeibdedpjgfnlcodoo?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
That way you can quickly figure out if you can connect.

@vermiculite with the chrome extension, it throws an undefined error; simple websocket client: undefined.

@vermiculite with the chrome extension, it throws an undefined error; simple websocket client: undefined.

Therefore it can't connect to the server. I assume you played with ws wss as protocols and with or without the port 443. If all those fails there is a problem connecting to the server.

If in a browser you go to
http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:443
http://XX.XX.XXX.XXX
https://XX.XX.XXX.XXX:443
https://XX.XX.XXX.XXX

Can you see the application running?

what's your server env? as @vermiculite suggested, make sure your app is accessible through wss://if you're serving the app with apache, it can be a bit tricky. try this if that's the case: https://www.codementor.io/foysalit/git-push-deploy-your-meteor-app-hsxs3hf20
