How can I deploy an IntraWeb 9 app written in D2007

[homer@agencybusys.com]

I am having trouble deploying a web app recently written in Delphi 2007 using IntraWeb 9 (it was bundled with D2007 professional). We are not able to change from using D2007 so suggesting an upgrade is not a viable solution. However, I don't mind buying an IntraWeb upgrade as long as the newer version will work with D2007, and will solve the deployment issue.

The web page produced by the app I'm trying to deploy works fine on any device connected to my LAN -- my local development machine (127.0.0.1...), other computers on the LAN, even my cell phone when connected via WiFi. It also works on the host machine I'm trying to deploy to (Windows Server 2022) using its browser with 127.0.0.1.... However, when trying to access it via the web, it times out.  I have opened the specified port on the host for both TCP and UDP.  The web app is running as a Stand Alone for testing. Once successfully deployed, I'll switch it to a service.         

I've been programing with Delphi since Delphi 1, but this is my first IntraWeb app. I don't know if it is something I'm doing (or not doing), or if the bundled IntraWeb was a trial version, and I need a license to deploy. 

My attempt at deploying on our web host:

1. Created a sub-folder under the directory in which our WordPress web site resides:
   C:inetpub\vhosts\mydomain.com\httpdocs\MySubFolder
   
2. Uploaded the App.exe and support files needed to access a Firebird Database.
   
3. Run the App with and without admin privileges. 
   

Tried to access the web page from my local browser using the IP address:port as well as the domain.com:port. in each case it times out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
