I have been trying to set up a server and have done necessary steps such as running the server, port forwarding, creating exception rules in the firewall for the ports and the programs, running server while testing the ports, but the port still appears to be closed. I am running the server on linux and it does appear to be listening at port 25565. But checking at any website shows the port as closed. I can't understand how to resolve this. The server works on local network but not on global.

What distro of linux are you running & do you have root privileges?
