I have installed GeoServer 2.14.1 on server 92.20.100.12 at port 8080. Now I want to access that GeoServer from my computer like that

http://92.20.100.12:8080/geoserver

I added new "Inbound Rule" for port 8080 but I could not access GeoServer. What do I need to change?

Operation system that GeoServer installed: Windows Server 2016

  • Please edit the question to add details about the environment: What operating system? What service provider? What client? It's quite possible there's a firewall you cannot control blocking port 8080 traffic, in which case this may be impossible.

As BeaR said, GeoServer needs to be started as a console/service. See if you can ping the machine where GeoServer is installed using ping command from your machine with the same IP as you mentioned. Sometimes machine name is better due to IP can change.

Also sometimes 8080 may be used any other app server such as Tomcat. That can cause conflict. In that case, you need to change port of GeoServer in configuration file (jetty).
