Set VPS listening ports?

Seafile Server
1

I have a vps machine, I can connect to my vps server by command:
ssh root@my_vps_ip : ~ -p my_vps_ports

I follow the Instruction here: https://manual.seafile.com/deploy/using_sqlite.html
I just use the default configuration suggested by the tutorial. I can open the web UI at server by typing 127.0.0.1:8000, however I can not get access to the web UI on my local PC by typing http://my_vps_ip:8000. I use the command below to ensure that I have opened the 8000 and 8082 ports. I also close the firewall.

netstat -ntpl | grep 8082
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8082 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 23174/seaf-server
netstat -ntpl | grep 8000
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 23205/python2.7
sudo ufw status
Status: inactive

I am not sure why I can not get access to the seafile server on my client PC. maybe I do not set the my_vps_ports?
Thanks for any help.

my config information are as folllow:

What is the ip or domain of this server?
For example, w ww.mycompany.com, or, 192.168.1.101

Interesting… I’m having the same issue on the community edition on my private server ever since I upgraded to version 6.1.X to 6.2.X. I’ve spent several hours on the issue, and I’m beginning to believe that it’s a bug. However, you are on a VPS, so your situation may be different. What version of the server are you using?

Fastcgi was dropped, you have to adjust your config most probably. But you should use a local proxy.

@DerDanilo - Unfortunately, I can’t get that to work. Since 6.2.X, I’m unable to use a reverse proxy on an alternate port via NGinx. I’ve posted all the details in another thread.

Here is the thread where I detail the problem.
