I have installed shiny server following the tutorial:here. The server was started automatically, as shown in the following message:

shiny-server start/running, process 9376

I then created a folder on /etc/shiny-server and the file shiny-server.conf within it with the following configuration:

run_as shiny;

server {
listen 3838;

location / {
  utilization_scheduler 20 .9 3;
  site_dir /var/www/shiny-server;

  log_dir /var/log/shiny-server;

  directory_index on;
  }
}

I created a folder called shiny-server under /var/www, and put a web app under a folder called dummy in /var/www/shiny-server (i.e. /var/www/shiny-server/dummy). Finally, I started shiny-server again (sudo start shiny-server). I got the message the sever was running. However, when I opened the web browser and typed:

 http://localhost:3838/dummy

I got nothing.

I'm able to launch shiny apps from within R so I assume shiny is installed correctly. Can anybody help me solve my problem?

  • This is not about programming. Try posting your question at SuperUser or ServerFault. – usr1234567 Jun 28 '14 at 17:41
  • Did you type "localhot" instead of "localhost"? – GSee Jun 30 '14 at 18:14
  • Thanks - I did use localhost – user3786373 Jul 01 '14 at 14:39
  • I'm not sure why you put a folder in /etc/shiny-server (the link to the tutorial you followed is broken), but I have a file at /etc/init/shiny-server.conf (one of the locations mentioned [here](http://rstudio.github.io/shiny-server/latest/)) that works for me. – GSee Jul 01 '14 at 15:24
