Allow Access to Geth and Refresh the Page

[DhaneshKothari]

Hi, I'm getting following pop-up when trying to run explorer: "Allow Access to Geth and Refresh the Page"

What can I do in order to move forward?

Thanks

@DhaneshKothari I am also facing the same issue. This is a similar issue https://github.com/etherparty/explorer/issues/26 However, that didn't work for me.

same problem, no appropriate solution found in #26

Same.

I figured out how to solve the issue. The app.js file in ../explorer/app/ contains configuration variables. You simply need to modify the value for GETH_HOSTNAME to your public domain name. Presumably a public IP address would work as well.

I'm not sure why this isn't stated in the README file. It looks like its a common issue for people.

@vderelle Where is this GETH_HOSTNAME variable?

Here is app.js file:

'use strict';

angular.module('ethExplorer', ['ngRoute','ui.bootstrap'])

.config(['$routeProvider',
    function($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider.
            when('/', {
                templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
                controller: 'mainCtrl'
            }).
            when('/block/:blockId', {
                templateUrl: 'views/blockInfos.html',
                controller: 'blockInfosCtrl'
            }).
            when('/transaction/:transactionId', {
                templateUrl: 'views/transactionInfos.html',
                controller: 'transactionInfosCtrl'
            }).
            when('/address/:addressId', {
                templateUrl: 'views/addressInfo.html',
                controller: 'addressInfoCtrl'
            }).
            otherwise({
                redirectTo: '/'
            });
    }])
    .run(function($rootScope) {
        var web3 = new Web3();
        var eth_node_url = 'http://localhost:8545'; // TODO: remote URL
    web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider(eth_node_url));
        $rootScope.web3 = web3;
        function sleepFor( sleepDuration ){
            var now = new Date().getTime();
            while(new Date().getTime() < now + sleepDuration){ /* do nothing */ } 
        }
        var connected = false;
        if(!web3.isConnected()) {
            $('#connectwarning').modal({keyboard:false,backdrop:'static'}) 
            $('#connectwarning').modal('show') 
        }
});

I have solved it. thank you. You can change the eth_node_url from localhost to private ip address or public for correcting this problem

[sudhaaddagiri]
