Im am new to the scene. I have been looking at this website for about a week and decided to give it a shot.
I have tried bot installation guides and im lost. I have searched the forums and dont seem to find what might help or maybe its just over my head.

I used Shings basic config file:
Path to save: (left blank)
Server name: localhost
HTTPS?: n
Postgres/SQLAlchemy: (left blank)
Use redis?: n
Mail server: localhost
SMTP Port: 25
TLS for sending mail?: N
SSL for sending mail?: N
Mail username: (left blank)
Mail password: (left blank)
Mail sender name: (left blank)
Mail sender address: (left blank)
Mail admin email: (left blank)
Logging Config Path: (left blank)

and I also added the port to 5000 like how he did.

Now i get :

(.venv) root@ubuntu:/home/power/forum/flaskbb# flaskbb --config flaskbb.cfg run

  • Environment: production
    WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
    Use a production WSGI server instead.
  • Debug mode: off
  • Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

but now I am lost. What am I supposed to do now? I have tried accessing it from another computer on chrome but i get a refused connection...
I am running Ubuntu 4.15.0
Any help is greatly appreciated!
