I can't connect to my deployd server externally on 45.55.183.253:5000. I can connect to it locally with no problems.

I am running ubuntu 12.04 at Digital Ocean.

A netstat -ntap shows the following:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8906/nodejs

The code used for the server is taken from the documentation. I have tested with adding both port and server location in .listen(). The script is run with forever. But I have also tested with just running the script with node.

I have also tested with the test server from the node.js page, with and without the port and server as argument to .listen(). Still with no luck.

Is there any configuration that I need to do to allow the server to be accessed externally? Any help would be very much appreciated.

You need to configure your router/firewall/etc so the public IP at port 5000 matches the local IP of the computer the server is running on.

As I mentioned here I would use apache or nginx as reverse proxy. If your are using apache you can install mod proxy html. After installing you have to configure your conf-file like this:

<VirtualHost *>
    ...
    ProxyRequests Off
    <Proxy *>
            Order deny,allow
          Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyPass /ejabberd/ http://127.0.0.1:5281/
    ProxyPassReverse /ejabberd/ http://127.0.0.1:5281/
    ...
</VirtualHost>
