Not able to Access the Composer REST Server

[vishwasrao]

Hi, I am following steps given in https://ibm-blockchain.github.io/interacting/ for step 4. Start and Access the Composer REST Server It is expecting businessnetworkid , here i am giving business network name which i used while using composer playground. I am able to create rest server successfully.

vishwasrao@vishwasrao-desktop:~/Desktop/projects/blockchain/hyperledger/ibm-container-service/cs-offerings/free/scripts$ ./create/create_composer-rest-server.sh agentbroker Preparing yaml file for create composer-rest-server Creating composer-rest-server pod Running: kubectl create -f /home/vishwasrao/Desktop/projects/blockchain/hyperledger/ibm-container-service/cs-offerings/free/scripts/../kube-configs/composer-rest-server.yaml deployment "composer-rest-server" created Creating composer-rest-server service Running: kubectl create -f /home/vishwasrao/Desktop/projects/blockchain/hyperledger/ibm-container-service/cs-offerings/free/scripts/../kube-configs/composer-rest-server-services.yaml service "composer-rest-server" created Composer rest server created successfully vishwasrao@vishwasrao-desktop:~/Desktop/projects/blockchain/hyperledger/ibm-container-service/cs-offerings/free/scripts$

But when trying to access it using http://YOUR_PUBLIC_IP_HERE:31090/explorer/ I am not able to load explorer I am getting message This site can’t be reached

My Business Network Name is : agentbroker If I want to give business network id , where can i find it? I am not doing any changes & just following steps given.

Thanks, Vishwas

I have same issue from a clean deployment into new cluster. It appears to be set up correctly but get the same error as Vishwas reported above. The Playground seems to work correctly.

https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/ibm-blockchain.github.io/issues/40 It is the same issue as this one. We will try to post the updated instructions ASAP.

Hi All, I got it resolved :) let me share some thoughts here.

1. While creating REST server it asks for business network ID, to be frank i do not know from where I can get this id. But while going through github repo i come to know commit comment ans business network name. So I tried with business network name. So may be we need to change docs or command while creating REST server.
2. I was doing mistake of creating business network for Web Browser and not on hlfv1. When you open Composer first time, it will have two options for creating business network. one with Web Browser and below that for hlfv1, Common mistake can be creating creating business network on web browser and then creating rest server for that,

Let me know if its clear or we need to do some changes in docs Thanks, Vishwas

I suggest an update in docs to make it more clear that where this business network identity is defined when you use Composer. Assuming it's the Composer UI field "Give your new Business Network a name:" that is relevant? And second, while Composer docs pointed to in section "3. Develop Your Business Network" details difference between Web Browser and hlfv1, this tutorial should just state "use hlfv1" to be as accurate as possible.

Instructions have been updated. Feel free to re-open if the problem arises again.

This is happening to me. I did everything in the instructions and the output is the same "Composer rest server created successfully" but http://YOUR_PUBLIC_IP_HERE:31090/explorer/ does not work. Is there any idea as to how to fix this?

Hello, Im also facing same issue. Is there any way to re-open this topic? I run the install script with the instructions provided: create_composer-rest-server.sh --business-network-card INSERT_BIZNET_CARD_NAME My business network name: basic-sample-network User: admin I run the script as: create_composer-rest-server.sh --business-network-card admin@basic-sample-network. I did not get any error during installation but if I try to access http://184.172.250.196:31090/explorer/ Im receiving: "The connection has timed out".

Is there a solution for this? I have a similar problem that can't reach the rest server

"This site can’t be reached"

[jonglee]

Never mind. Figured it out.

1) make sure to use "hlfv1" not Web Browser option. 2) do this: ./create/create_composer-rest-server.sh --business-network-card admin@animaltracking-network

where originally I did not have "admin@" in the argument.
