Can't access /whm, /cpanel, :2086, etc..

[theMikeroy]

Hi =)

I'm a long time cPanel user, first time as a system admin however... I did my first install just fine and dandy, however I'm having an issue when trying to get into the whm for the first time...

I did a server install of CentOS and then ran the install script from cpanel/whm

The install completed just fine, and I'm able to access the default directory when i point my browser to the IP address (client hasn't set up his domain name yet).
When i try to access /whm, /cpanel, or ip:2086, ip:2084 I'm denied a connection...Firefox complains about 'unable to establish connection'

Also, i'm able to access the /whm etc. when i'm actually using the server it was installed on when I ssh in and use links. The downside is however that I can't do much with Links once i'm in the panel anyway, since it doesn't refresh the main content pane at all.

So, essentially, i can access the machine from within itself, but can't access the whm and cpanel ports from anywhere outside the machine...

Any suggestions where i might look to correct this?

Thanks =)

Try reinstalling cpanel to see if that waorks

I would mean it is a browser setting on your machine.
Check out this link when you have firefox.

Hi guys

thanks for the response...

I'm certain it's not a browser problem, as I can access cpanel's elsewhere that I use on the usual ports.

If i just run the install script again, will that suffice as a re-install, or do i need to 'uninstall' the current build??

Thanks =)

Hi,

Try 'iptables --flush' through SSH.

NT FTW!

iptables --flush did it... I totally should have thought of that, but thanks for the help!

try restarting cpanel

/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

 

[NT]

No problem

 

[Spiral]

try restarting cpanel

/etc/init.d/cpanel restart

On most servers, that is actually located at:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/cpanel restart

(Right idea, wrong pathname )
