Self hosted Gitlab: Can't find webpage on standard http port

General

Hey Gitlab community!

I’ve installed Gitlab-CE on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB), running on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
I followed the instructions of the recommended installation for this: https://about.gitlab.com/install/?version=ce#ubuntu
I didn’t include a https address at the beginning, instead I’m using:
external_url 'http://gitlab.example.com'

After running reconfiguration and a restart, I still can’t reach the website via the firefox webbrowser.
However I can reach and login on self hosted gitlab if I change the configuration to an alternative port: http://gitlab.example.com:81

I absolutely don’t get it and I’d be glad if anyone had an explanation for this. If more information is required, let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
It’s likely that you already have something running on port 80.
You could run a netstat command to check if the port is already in use
