Unable to Connect to Genesis Node on AWS

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create a Blockchain using the Multichain tutorial.

To do this,I have created two linux instances on AWS and created node in the first one.

On trying to connect the node from the second server, I am getting the following  error message :

" please check multichaind is running at that address and that your firewall settings allow incoming connections."

As the First server is running,still the same error message appears. Unable to resolve this issue. 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Depending on the version of Linux you're using, and the settings on AWS, you may find that incoming connections on certain IP ports are blocked on the first node. You should check your AWS console and also the iptables configuration.
