Hii,

I created a rasa chatbot in latest version and it is working fine in commandline and chat.html but while opening localhost url like [http://localhost:5006](http://localhost:5006) in chat.html it is showing “this site can’t be reached” How can I make this localhost url work??

thanks in advance!

hi @Mounika1 the issue due too CORS request, you need to enable cors while you run your rasa server, you can use the below command:

> rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors “\*” --debug

🙂

hey @Mounika1 can you tell me which UI you are using to connect your Rasa, I mean that chat.html? Can you please tell what’s in that chat.html? If you want you can try out this too it may help you: [https://github.com/JiteshGaikwad/Rasa\_CustomUI-v\_2.0](https://github.com/JiteshGaikwad/Rasa_CustomUI-v_2.0)

Run rasa run -m models --enable-api --cors “\*” --debug

Before opening the html file.

I’m running this command on my AWS EC2 instance:

```
docker run --user 1000 -v $(pwd)/models:/app/models rasa/rasa:latest-full run -m models --enable-api --cors “*” --debug

```

and still localhost:5005 is not displaying hello message from rasa.

I’ve followed this for initial setup: [Deploying your Rasa Assistant](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/user-guide/how-to-deploy/?_ga=2.92865693.1427212933.1580669182-632081686.1580547923#running-the-rasa-server)

I’ve tried with docker-compose too but still nothing loads in my localhost:5005 (ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED)

```
version: '3.0'
services:
  rasa:
    image: rasa/rasa:latest-full
    ports:
      - 5005:5005
    volumes:
      - ./:/app
    command:
      - run
      - -m
      - models
      - --enable-api
      - --cors
      - "*"
      - --endpoints
      - endpoints.yml

```

Also my container is allowing traffic on that port:

There are my aws ec2 inbound rules:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/8/87ed31f5298e22da64280e4789d938c02f363d9e.png)

I’ve also checked VPC Network ACL which looks OK:

I’ve also tried disabling my firewall and it still doesn’t work, here is my console after docker-compose up:

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/e/e2058963ded1e4e7803de85511a118016051a8ee.png)

Can you help @JiteshGaikwad?

EDIT: I’ve tried this from aws console and it works:

 ![worksFromAws](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/1/19ce48bc822fe95012db38a4155de99cc30da9a7.jpeg)

but this same command doesn’t work from my local console, why is that?

EDIT2: Solved by accesing through my instance public IP and port 5005
