I have installed OpenEdx stable ironwood release in Aws Server. While selecting a discussion link inside a course in LMS a connection error page is displayed.
HTTPConnectionPool(host=‘edx.devstack.forum’, port=4567): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/users/2?complete=True&request_id=62f33b5e-2cb1-4a6d-890a-6e3ba78c65f8 (Caused by NewConnectionError(’<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f2a00f1a1d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known’,))
How to resolve this issue?
Is it safe to use devstack.master for production?
Hi @Devi_Sithar,
The devstack deployment isn’t suitable for production since it doesn’t properly configure many security related variables to safe values.
There’s multiple methods of deploying a production branch, but from your use case, it looks like you’re trying to deploy a native instance on AWS. You’ll need to use the edx/configuration repository with a stable release branch (the latest one is open-release/ironwood.2).
There’s not a proper amount of updated documentation on how to set up a full production instance as of now, so you’ll need to check multiple sources, such as the documentation, this discussion forum and Confluence. Here are a few starter links:
- Getting started (in right direction)
- https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/
- https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+platform+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation
Alternatively, you can contact one of the service providers to help you set up and maintain your instance.
I’m from OpenCraft, and we can help with this if you want.
