Hey all, When I try to access the Ignition Gateway web server from the computer that the Gateway is installed on (localhost), I get directed to the Apache2 default page. However, when I try to access that same Gateway web server from another computer, it takes me to the web server as expected. Anyone know what would cause this behavior? Running 8.1.9 on Ubuntu ---

What port are you trying to access locally and remotely? Ignition doesn’t even use Apache HTTP server, so you must have that installed and running on your server. ---

Ports are the same both locally and remotely… 80 and 443. So if I uninstall Apache on the server Ignition should still run? ---

Yeah. When you installed Ignition did you configure it to use 80 and 443 instead of the default 8088 and 8043? ---

Yes, Ignition is configured to use 80 and 443. ---

That usually doesn’t work on Linux unless you’re running as root, though something must be working if you were able to access the gateway at all like you said. ---

You might have `iptables` or something set up to redirect from a remote interface. It’s really hard to say without seeing your actual environment. ---
