Deploying the rasa webchat on server

[DrGardiner]

Hi,
I can run the rasa webchat successfully on localhost and it communicates correctly with my locally implemented rasa server. But the issue arises when I call the following command(same command which leads to successful connection) on server:
npx webpack-dev-server --config webpack.dev.js --port 8000
It says it has been compiled successfully but when I call the same port like this:
myserverip:8000
I don't get any result. Could you please give me a detailed instruction on how to implement it on server? (BTW, my server is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

In addition, when I use the webchat-0.5.8.js script and mimic the example you've provided I get an error like this in the browser console:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://SV-ipAddress-WAS-HERE:8080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=MtLcjZT. (Reason: Multiple CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ not allowed).
Although I have run RASA by rasa run --enable-api --cors "*" --debug --port 8080 --endpoints endpoints.yml I get this CORS error!
Same command on localhost works perfectly well!
I am looking forward to hearing from you guys
Thanks in advance

Could be try --cors '' instead --cors "" for ubuntu.

Hi!,

How could you solve it? I have the same issue, I'm using Rasa 2.6.0 and rasa-webchat 1.0.0.

Thanks
