Hi, I can run the **[rasa webchat](https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-webchat)** successfully on localhost and it communicates correctly with my locally implemented rasa server. But the issue arises when I call the following command(same command which leads to successful connection) on server: `npx webpack-dev-server --config webpack.dev.js --port 8000` It says it has been compiled successfully but when I call the same port like this: `myserverip:8000` I don’t get any result(it does not load). Could you please give me a detailed instruction on how to implement it on server? (BTW, my server is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) In addition, when I use the `webchat-0.5.8.js` script and mimic the example you’ve provided I get an error like this in the browser console: `Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://SV-ipAddress-WAS-HERE:8080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=MtLcjZT. (Reason: Multiple CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ not allowed).` Although I have run RASA by `rasa run --enable-api --cors "*" --debug --port 8080 --endpoints endpoints.yml` I get this CORS error! Same command on localhost works perfectly well! I am looking forward to hearing from you guys Thanks in advance ---

Hello @alphaisnice, This most likely is not a Rasa issue and we aren’t the support structure for that project unfortunately. I see there is already an issue filed against that repo [Deploying the rasa webchat on server · Issue #129 · mrbot-ai/rasa-webchat · GitHub](https://github.com/mrbot-ai/rasa-webchat/issues/129) seems like word for word what is here, is that your issue? If this works locally then I don’t believe Rasa is the issue but maybe the CORS piece in your webpack/frontend Rasa Chat part. I can double check trying this but this doesn’t sound like a Rasa server issue. ---

I also just tested this with a basic setup locally and seems fine so I believe this is something in that other project not rasa ![56%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/e/ecf3273b5eac0205cce96d7683273a74b851710a.png) ---

Thanks for your reply. Yes. That’s the issue I have created on their github page. The problem is I don’t exactly know what’s the root of CORS problem! I could not find a practical way to debug the software while its running. Another question which might not be directly related to the topic, What is the standard way for deploying rasa chatbot on a server? Is it `rasa run` command provided CLI itself or I should deploy a dedicated webserver like Nginx? Thanks
