Hiya people

I used to be really good at SSH but becuase i havnt used it in ages i cant remember a thing

I need to open port 10026 on my Linux webserver,

But i forgot how to do it, anyone have any ideas?

I am using PuTTY for SSH access

Thanks for your help in advance

You can do it via WHM. (root)

Using google won't cause any harm, posting for stupid reasons where you could have just used Google will cause harm.

Ive looked in WHM logged in as root

But theres nothing saying Edit Firewall or anything :S

Just pointing to Calon, I did google, but nothing came up, but thanks for the link :)

Edit: Thats not the kind of thing i want, I need to open a port to allow stuff through it, not Port Foward, Thanks Anyway

O, sorry, It is CentOS and my firewall is Basic IPTables

[Recursion]

nano /etc/sysconfig/iptablesthen add to the bottom:


iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 10026 -j ACCEPTChange INPUT to OUTPUT if its going FROM your server, others, if its too your server leave it as INPUT. It may be UDP, if it is change the tcp bit to udp.

You may need to restart IPTables.

EDIT: Just found this great thing; http://www.liniac.upenn.edu/sysadmin/security/iptables.html
