Installed OPENedX on Ubuntu 20.04 by following [these](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/1969455764/Koa+Native+Open+edX+platform+Ubuntu+20.04+64+bit+Installation) instructions. The last message after installation is “Installation finished at 2021-01-05 17:09:44”. How to check if the installation was successful? ---

Hey @pradeepkumarjha Did you set EDXAPP\_LMS\_BASE as described in the second step of installation? if you did, you can try this: ```http http://EDXAPP_LMS_BASE/ ``` otherwise, use your host IP address instead. also, you can run this command to check the status of every service: ```bash /edx/bin/supervisorctl status ``` ---

Hello, I set up EDXAPP\_LMS\_BASE to '“[online.myeducation.org](http://online.myeducation.org)” in config.yml file. Do I got to replace ‘[myeducation.org](http://myeducation.org)’ with my own domain name? I do not have a host IP yet. Also, I do not see any /edx in my root folder. What to do? ---

It’s totally impossible. at the first steps of installation, the `/edx` directory is being created automatically. It may have happened because the installation was not finished properly. have you ever set up an Open edX instance normally on Ubuntu 16.04? I think your problem is related to the note at the top of the document. check it again: > For Juniper and earlier, see [Native Open edX platform Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit Installation](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+platform+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation). > > Warning > This page is a work in progress. As it’s been mentioned there, The document is in a Work-In-Progress state and not ready to use. Besides, if you want to use your instance you must have a host and an IP address. if you’re looking for a trial, it’s recommended to use Bitnami or the Devstack versions. ---

Installed Ubuntu 16.04. Followed [these](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+platform+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation) instructions. All went smooth till step number 5. Now, when I execute `/edx/bin/supervisorctl status` terminal says ` [sudo] password for edxapp:` What password is this? ---

That command must be run as a sudoer user, not edxapp user. ---

Running as sudo user gets this: `sudo /edx/bin/supervisorctl status [sudo] password for home: cms RUNNING pid 3688, uptime 9:23:54 edxapp_worker:cms_default_1 RUNNING pid 19448, uptime 9:31:54 edxapp_worker:cms_high_1 RUNNING pid 19464, uptime 9:31:53 edxapp_worker:lms_default_1 RUNNING pid 19793, uptime 9:31:51 edxapp_worker:lms_high_1 RUNNING pid 19983, uptime 9:31:49 edxapp_worker:lms_high_mem_1 RUNNING pid 20197, uptime 9:31:46 lms RUNNING pid 3466, uptime 9:23:58` Now what? ---

On entering ‘localhost’ in the browser address bar, a page is displayed with title ‘Your Platform Name Here’. Is this good? ---

1. Where are the other services? ecommerce, insight, … 2. The page heading should be something like this: 3. if you faced with problems try to check error log files at `/edx/var/log/` for example `/edx/var/log/lms/edx.log` for LMS logs. ---

My page heading is as you show. I tried `audit@example.com` and `edx` as username and password but it didn’t work. It is running on `localhost`. I am able to `Register` and login. What is the next step? ---

you tell me what’s next. you can read [Managing Open edX Tips and Tricks](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/60227913/Managing+OpenEdX+Tips+and+Tricks). if you installed it on a dedicated server and you have an fqdn you can share it with your customers (learners). login to the studio and define new courses. etc… ---

I have installed it on a dedicated desktop. I don’t have a fqdn.
