Disable the default firewall

By default, the iptables firewall on CentOS and Red Hat is often configured to block the ports you mentioned. Log into the shell as root and run the following commands:

# iptables-save > iptables_rules
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop

Try to access the WebHost Manager. If you are successful, then run the following command:

# system-config-securitylevel-tui

Select "Disabled" as the security level. You will probably want to configure the iptables firewall in the future, but this will let you configure your server without being blocked by firewall rules.

If this does not help, then it is possible that your service provider's network is blocking those ports from outside, and you would need to contact them for assistance.

It may not be installed

The command is provided by the system-config-securitylevel-tui package. It may not be installed on your server. You can check by using this command:

# rpm -q system-config-securitylevel-tui
system-config-securitylevel-tui-1.6.29.1-5.el5

If it does not exist, then you can achieve the same result by doing the following:

# cp /etc/sysconfig/iptables /root/iptables-rules-backup
# > /etc/sysconfig/iptables

This will achieve the same effect. /etc/sysconfig/iptables is what stores the iptables firewall rules that are used when the server boots, and system-config-securitylevel-tui is basically an interface to make configuring that file easier.
