I am having no luck with actions. I have worked my way back to the following: I have a small express server running on an AWS instance on port 5001. The security group allow full access to that port from ALL ip address (just for the moment) I can use curl from my desktop box to hit the url directly using ip:5001 When I configure the action (registration/before/get), it get an error on the self service registration attempt telling me that the gateway had a timeout (http 504) Nothing is logged in the events. I m completely at a loss for how to debug this.
