Setting Up Repository on Dedicated Server

[Mr_Remember]

Hello!

I run an Arma 3 Community from an NFO Dedicated Server. We have been exploring better options for distributing mods to our community, and have been recommended the program called Swifty. Swifty uses HTTP protocol to establish a repository for our community to connect to and download the needed files. However, upon getting it set up, it appears that our server is not allowing the needed port, port 80, to be used. Any way to fix this issue? I'll post the specific error below. Thanks!

"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it xx.xx.xxx.xx:80"

If you have an unmanaged dedicated machine, you are able to run whatever services and use whatever ports you need, sure.

"Actively refused" typically just means that the port is closed. The error you listed would seem to suggest that your application is not running or is running on the wrong IP/port.

Perhaps you'd need to set up port forwarding for that system to accept incoming connections on that port?

The IPs for our unmanaged machines and unmanaged VDS servers are public and not hidden behind a NAT like they would be in a home network. As such, port forwarding doesn't apply to the situation.
