How to setup and run Alteryx Gallery on the Local Machine

[HuzefaBw]

Hello all,

I am trying to setup alteryx server on my personal laptop, I have installed and configured the alteryx server. However, I am unable to connect to the alteryx gallery. My Gallery Base Address is http://localhost/gallery/

When I enter the above URL my webpage displays: 'Localhost refused to connect.'

I have tried changing the base address and using https instead of http 

Any kind of help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Huzefa

I am assuming you are trying to connect from Designer.  If so, it is probable that your computer is not accepting loopback traffic, in which case the solution would be to disable the Loopback Check. 

Or is your issue, connecting to the Gallery website?

As a follow-up question out of curiousity. Why are you installing Gallery on a personal machine rather than a server?

Hi Sruhl,

Thank you for giving your suggestions. I am trying to connect to the gallery website. This is even before I schedule anything from the designer. 

Just to give you  a brief summary: 

1. I installed the Altyerx sever 

2. Opened the 'Alteryx System Settings' from the desktop as an administrator 

3. Clicked 'next' on all the screen without changing anything. (The gallery base address was: http://localhost/gallery/)

4. The 'Alteryx System Setting' Status page showed Controller, Worker and Gallery are enabled to run on my machine.

5. The next step was opening the gallery in my chrome web browser (http://localhost/gallery/). That is when I am getting an error: 'Localhost refused to connect.'

To answer your question: I am setting gallery on my personal machine to test some of its features.

Do let me know if this is what is causing the issue and if I should setup gallery on the server instead of on my personal laptop. 

Thanks a lot,

Huzefa

Try connecting to http://localhost:80/gallery/ .  That will direct the request to the http port.

I tried connecting to the gallery with http://localhost:80/gallery/ but still, I am getting the same message of 'LocaLhost refused to connect'

At this point, my suggestion would be to contact support@alteryx.com.  They're super helpful and should be able to get things straightened out.

Thank you for all your time and help. I will contact the support team.

To add to this, did you click right through the system settings to the last page in order to provision the MongoDB etc? So now if you go back into the System Settings, you can see the DB info on the Persistence page?

Hi Kane,

Thank you for your suggestion, at this point we have gone back to setting up the gallery on the server instead of on my personal machine. I will keep your suggestion in mind if in the future I need to do a similar experiment. 

Thank you,
