it worked but now i have another problem.
when i launch explorer from local host seems to work but the actual set up is that the explorer is in a droplet server so i want it to be accessible outside the local host so that i can see it when i pu t the ip:port on the browser. I tried uncomment that from the conf file but it gives error, it only launches when the connection setting is local host.

This is most likely to be a problem with the port you have chosen in the Explorer configuration. This needs to be a free port in the range 0...65535
