I purchased a server, and they use a shared IP so everyone gets 20 ports, but none of them are port 80 or 443. How do I install Discourse this way? I have full root SSH access to the server.

I think I’d buy a server from somewhere else if they use a single IP address and just only assign ports.

Is there anything I can do though?

That I don’t know. You’ll have to wait till someone better qualified comes along and answers.

You cannot use that server for Discourse. There is nothing you can do. You must use a different server or different software.
