Problem with "timeoout exceeded when trying to connect"

Describe the problem/error/question

Hello Guys, I’m having an issue with a workflow that initiates when a lead is filling out a typeform. And when the N8n webhook tries to initiate, I have the problem “Workflow execution had an error” “Timeout exceeded when trying to connect.”
Important information: the application is installed on a VPS, and the PostgreSQL database is hosted on a separate server. Both servers communicate with each other. And I’m using Portainer.
It started happening when I tried to connect Evolution API at Portainer, It have an error with postgress, and then n8n,portainer started having issues with database and the configurations.

What is the error message (if any)?

“Workflow execution had an error” “Timeout exceeded when trying to connect.”

Hey,

Just thought to checkin on this, as see if you managed to fix it? If not, what are your logs stating? Could you provide some logs from the instance, that will help see what’s happening in the backend.

Best regards,
