Dedicated Server says This site can't be reached - NodeJs

Question

I have created Node Js API with mongoDB and on port 5000. It is working well in local PC. But when I upload to server and run the program, I am unable to access that API in local PC, it says "This site can't be reached". But the program also running smoothly on server.

The server installed with: - Node - Mongo - Git And Port 5000 rule added in firewall.

Have you open `port` 5000 (ingress) in that dedicated server? — PPShein, Jan 10 '19 at 02:23
Could you browse your server? Like `http://yourserverip:5000`? If not, you must do port forwarding in your server. — PPShein, Jan 10 '19 at 03:03
your website is working in browser if type `http://yourserverip:5000`? — PPShein, Jan 10 '19 at 03:13
`http://yourserverip:5000` not working. How to do port forwarding, please? — test team, Jan 10 '19 at 03:16
run following command in your linux server `iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 5000 -j REDIRECT --to-port 80` It will redirect `5000` to `80` but my advice is to open `5000` in your firewall. — PPShein, Jan 10 '19 at 03:17
Thank you I already open on firewall, as I said in my question — test team, Jan 10 '19 at 03:19
Nice it is working. Why port forwarding? And open 5000 on firewall? — test team, Jan 10 '19 at 04:40
Because your firewall block `http-port` `5000` probably. Could you mark my answer as correct and upvote please? I've already wrote my answer. — PPShein, Jan 10 '19 at 04:45
