Shiny app hosting

[Jamshed Khan]

Hi,
I have developed a shiny app and want to host it in "https://www.shinyapps.io/".
I registered in the shinyapps.io got the secret code everything but when i am trying to host it i am getting the below error:
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
Failed to connect to api.shinyapps.io port 443: Connection refused
Timing stopped at: 0 0.01 3.22
I have tried various methods but still getting the same error.

One more error that i am getting is:
The following lines contain absolute paths:
8: path <- "Documents/R/Data/ojdbc6.jar"
Paths should be to files within the project directory.

Please suggest me some ways to get out of this errors.

When deploying an application to shinyapps.io, all files you intend to deploy should be contained within the directory of the application and all references to files should be relative to the application directory.

I am surprised at the connection error. You can test connectivity from the command line using "telnet api.shinyapps.io 443". If that isn't working then is it possible you are being blocked?
