Research direction

Start with app.js and the conf.json settings shown in the issue. Reproduce the connection timeout against the configured localhost node, then trace how nodeAddr, gethPort, and the reported web3host setting are read. Done means identifying the correct configuration parameter or documenting the required change so the explorer connects without the timeout.
