Strange question (I seem to get those a lot these days)

One of my new customers is in Ho Chi Minh City VN and he cannot access the controlpanel, because according to him, all ISP's in Vietnam block port 81 by default.

Can this be? This is waaaay beyond my knowledge.

Help? :eek:

im not sure for Vietnam...but my provider (university & chello coperation in Austria) used to block the port i used to enter my admin section on RAQ. So i guess he could be telling you the truth.l

hmm. i use jet2web dsl here in wien, and they thankfully don't block 81.


i HAVE heard of china blocking 81. but nothing about vietnam.

:) chello/a.k.a teleweb doesnt block that port ( UNI Vienna did but they stopped it) What are the cost for TA dsl? chello is 444 ats ~ 30 $ ?

i think we're paying around 500ats, however, we got a package deal, where, they dropped our phone line nearly in half. so, we end up paying a little more for the dsl, but our phone costs went down majorly.


it's cold in vienna today.

Yes it is true, the CP runs as it own Apache process. Although I havn't tried this I think it might work:

slocate httpd.conf

This will give you two files,

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is the config file the regular Apache uses - that one your customers websites are on.


/etc/admserv/conf/httpd.conf
is the one Apache process running CP uses. So, open up /etc/admserv/conf/httpd.conf and change the Port directive to something else. Also there is a Listen directive.

Also change the standard httpd.conf, there are some rewrites to :81 somewhere I think, or if they are in srm.conf or something...
