New to servers need some help

Unable to access? I dont believe forge gives that error. Can you show us the updated log? If its the only message, what is your launch script?

it was the console on my host client that gave me that message

everything is fine with the actual files

Ah so your hosts launch script is searching for a file called pixelmon-7.0.7.jar as the forge file.

Its probably why your server didnt produce a latest.log file, as it didnt boot in the first place.

If you rename your forge to pixelmon-7.0.7 it should work
