Urchin port problems.

WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.3-R25623
CENTOS Enterprise 5 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

Trying to install Urchin 5.703.
and keep getting port unavailable messages.

Code:

Choose a port number for the webserver [Default: 9999]
-> 9999

The specified port is not available.

Its a new server/cpanel install out of the box with "The Planet".
I tried different port#s with same result.

 

its out the box. So would that be IPTables?

How do I append port 9999?

 

Here is how I solved it.

"i hacked the install.sh and removed the port check. I know the port i
chose is available, so make sure you do the same!

Around line 870 in install.sh:
# Verify the port is available

Remove everything up so it displays as follows:
else
# Verify the port is available
PORT=$portin
wflag=1
fi

The installer will then bypass the port check and continue
installation. Hope this helps! "
