I am trying to set up my Azure Virtual machine to become a Perforce remote repository server.

First let me take you through the installation of Helix on the server:

And after the install is complete it says:

So far so good now from my client computer (my local desktop) I attempt to connect to this server, however, I get an error:

Now first I thought that the port wasn't open in my inbound so I added the following network rule in my Azure cloud portal:

However, this didn't do anything for me and I get the same error.

So now I am left kinda stranded. Has anyone had this issue and know how i can connect to my remote machine from perforce?

From the comment below when i type p4 info i get the following:

User name: ******

Client name: PerforceServer

Client host: PerforceServer

Client unknown.

Current directory: c:Users*****

Peer address: 127.0.0.1:50413

Client address: 127.0.0.1

Server address: PerforceServer:1666

Server root: C:Users*****VersionControl

Server date: 2018/11/21 14:44:12 +0000 Coordinated Universal Time

Server uptime: 00:01:27

Server version: P4D/NTX64/2018.2/1724420 (2018/11/02)

Server license: none

Case Handling: insensitive

However using the prefix PerforceServer:1666 i still cannot connect

When running netstat:

  TCP    127.0.0.1:50688        PerforceServer:1666    TIME_WAIT

  TCP    127.0.0.1:50689        PerforceServer:1666    TIME_WAIT

Also if i run p4d i get the following error:

Perforce server error:

    Listen 1666 failed.

    TCP listen on 1666 failed.

    bind: 0.0.0.0:1666: WSAEADDRINUSE

Allow the port through the Windows firewall.

1)Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select Control panel from the context menu.

2)Select System and Security from the options and click on Windows Firewall from right side panel of the window.

3)Click on Advanced settings and select Inbound Rules from left side panel of the window.

4)Click on New Rule under Actions tab from right side panel and select Port radio button from the window.

5)Follow the onscreen instructions and check if the changes are effective.
