VisualEditor Error: Could not connect to the server

I've just installed MediaWiki 1.30 on Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit, and I've successfully installed Parsoid and RESTbase. The 8000 port for Parsoid and 7231 port for RESTbase are all accessible and can return the correct pages. But when I try to edit or create pages using Visual Editor, the message shows up: Error loading data from server: Could not connect to the server. I've read through the docs in MediaWiki and googled my problem, but it seems that no one has met this problem before.

Do anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks for your help.

You need to make sure the VE can talk to RESTbase by setting $wgVirtualRestConfig['modules']['parsoid'] in LocalSettings.php (see here), and also that RESTbase can talk to Parsoid using config.yaml (although it sounds like that is working if you can access pages on port 7231).
