Help with Linux (CentOS 7) VPS install of V4.7 (Noobie)
show all after command
sudo systemctl status traccar.service
Sounds like the service is running. Have you opened required ports in the firewall?

Great question! I was suspicious of something like that. No, I have not opened any ports? Is there a simple way to do so - or should I just google it?

By default CentOS blocks everything. Not sure why you chose this particular distro. Anyway, you need to configure it.
Your VPS provider might have some network level firewall as well. You should obviously configure all that correctly.
That's not something specific to Traccar.
for testing you can
systemctl stop firewalld
or
systemctl disable firewalld
@Slawek
Success!!!!!!!!!!! I now have access to the Traccar login page!
Thank you all for your help!
@Anton
Obviously a distro's settings are not your fault.
In the future, what is the simplest distro to use - perhaps something that already has the correct port open?
Ubuntu is the easiest to set up, but it's also less secure because everything is open by default.
don't forget open ports for yours gps devices
@Anton
Thanks. It is nice to know what is easiest for the sake of learning, and what is more secure for the sake of security.
@Slawek
Thanks. You're the man. I opened port 5055 since I am going to be using the traccar mobile app to begin with.

I wiped and reinstalled on the OS on my VPS since this is just for learning.
I then followed directions from @Anton and @Slawek by doing the following:
-Download latest version
wget https://github.com/traccar/traccar/releases/download/v4.7/traccar-linux-64-4.7.zip-unzip
unzip traccar-linux-64-4.7.zip-install
sudo ./traccar.run-run
sudo systemctl start traccar.service-check if running
sudo systemctl status traccar.service=

What's next?
