would be thankful if anyone can help me to address my issues. I was asked to deploy GalaxyServer in AWS (CetnOS) and I have installed and Galaxy is running locally successful. But, galaxy is running in [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) and I want galaxy to get hosted on AWS or server IP. Assume, IP as 1.2.3.4, so it will run like, [http://1.2.3.4:8080](http://1.2.3.4:8080) and it should run on any system across internet with this IP. I tried, looking into all config files changing files putting AWS IP, host = 1.2.3.4 (IP), but while running, ./run.sh galaxy is running same on localhost. It is not responding. Files where I have changed host IP are, **galaxy.yml.sample** , **galaxy.ini**.

In your setup you generally want to use proxy in between web traffic and Galaxy. So leave Galaxy running on localhost and set up e.g. [NGINX](https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/nginx.html) that will listen on the network for requests and proxy the ones for Galaxy to the right port. > Files where I have changed host IP are, **galaxy.yml.sample** , **galaxy.ini**. None of these are the right place to choose I believe. You should have `galaxy.yml` file in your configuration folder. When you have that [file set up](https://galaxyproject.org/admin/#setup-admin-user) you can check this section in the sample: ```yml # The address and port on which to listen. By default, only listen to # localhost (galaxy will not be accessible over the network). Use # ':8080' to listen on all available network interfaces. http: 127.0.0.1:8080 ``` So if you want to avoid the proxy for some development reasons you can do so by changing that value to `:8080`. I would only recommend this for throwaway Galaxies, that are not run in production. ---

Hi, No I don’t want to use proxy and I haven’t said about it also. My concern is, I want to host galaxy in AWS (awsip:8080) and make it accessible everywhere that url. For Eg: , [http://awsip:8080](http://awsip:8080). Here, awsip = 1.2.3.4 (aws instance ec2 ip). Please share how to proceed with the same. thanks raj ---

Did you followed up on any of this? [https://www.biostars.org/p/432922/#432991](https://www.biostars.org/p/432922/#432991) Port is open? Http in the config is set to 0.0.0.0? ---

I shared with you how to do that in the last two paragraphs of my post.
