I'm trying to create a server via Laravel forge. I added my credentials to the 'server providers', including the api key. But when i try to create a server it's giving the following message:
Whoops! There were some problems with your input.
The server provider was unable to create your server. Contact your server provider for more details or add a new server provider in your account profile.
Anyone have ideas why this would happen?
I found the answer: within your vultr account, go to the place where you generated your API key. On that page you'll see 'Access Control' and below that a button 'allow all ipv4'.
I just clicked on that button and confirmed it. And the server on laravel forge is now created. If you know the ip address just enter that to whitelist it, because it's much more secure.
Still doesn't seem to work even when I do that! Bizarre. Have contacted Forge support, unfortauntely they are not very fast at responding.
@mrdigital try checking your account limits on Vultr. I had a limit of 5 servers / $100 per month. Customer support increased it to 10 servers / $200 and I was able to spin up servers with forge once again.
