My VPS cpanel port was changed by .. a ghost or something..

Hi all,

Story in short, my cpanel was changed from 2083 to 444 by something I don't know. Since it is changeable , I would like to change it to 8080 so that I can access it from my company firewall. Or at least change back to default one (tired of manually typing 444 all the time).

Story in full detail:
...About more than 1 month ago, my apache server became very unstable and WHM and cpanel auto restart every 5-10 mins or so. Googling the whole night suggested me that recent update from cpanel causes conflict in port 443 (SSL something). I disabled it, apache and WHM went back to normal but cpanel nowhere to be found.

Days after mailing back and forth , Godaddy supports found out that cpanel port had changed from 2083 to 444. I asked how and why !! But the answer is something like "Sorry, your account is VPS, not dedicated, don't have to tell you details. Go google yourself". Same answer for how to change port to 8080.


Note: I have googled and browsed the forum but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks

 

Thank you guys!! I am so sorry, was so busy last 2 weeks, didn't have time to apply your technic until 1 hour ago.

Changing port= 8079 as dalem hinted does help!! No I can do cpanel freely from my company network.

Now I am studying cPanelMichael's technic, I am so greedy here, want to do WHM as well, mwahaha
