Hi guys.

I'm trying to setup arachni on a rented vps.

The vps is new, I just downloaded arachni, decompressed and runned arachni_web.

I got this:
Puma 2.14.0 starting...
* Min threads: 0, max threads: 16 * Environment: development * Listening on tcp://localhost:9292

But then, when i visit the vps ip, in my local machine, nothing apears.

Do i need to install LAMP ? or what?

   Since you started the WebUI on the remote server, it is listening on localhost on the remote server, not your own machine.
   Just visit the remote server using a browser at port 9292, if that doesn't work you may need to specify on which VPS address and port the WebUI should listen.
   You can find out about the relevant options by passing the -h flag.

   "Since you started the WebUI on the remote server, it is listening on localhost on the remote server, not your own machine. Just visit the remote server using a browser at port 9292,"

   --- Thats what I did, not apears..

   "if that doesn't work you may need to specify on which VPS address and port the WebUI should listen."

   --- should i just try any random port?

   "You can find out about the relevant options by passing the -h flag."

   --- done it, still no clue, but i will try a few things while i wait for your response.

   --- thank you so far!

   The address is the main issue, find out the address of the interface that handles client connections and use that. Your VPS provider can help you with that.

   What you mean the address?

   The address is the machines IP.

   I don't know how I can help you further because that is a networking configuration issue specific to your VPS provider, so far as I can tell it has nothing to do with Arachni.
   If you explain the situation to them I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.

   Ask them what address and port you need to use for a server application, in order for it to receive client requests over the internet.

   ohh shit.

   I did /arachni_web

   and then

   curl localhost:9292

   You are being redirected.

   So it is working, I just can't access it..

   What now ? xD

   Solution:

   RUN:

   ./arachni_web --host 0.0.0.0
