[hichkas]

Hi
I have centOS VPS
im install WHM :

 To begin your installation, use the following commands: 
 
 cd /home — Opens the directory /home.
 wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest — Fetches the latest installation file from the cPanel servers.
 sh latest — Opens and runs the installation files.
 /usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt — Activates your license after installation.

after finish installation
/WHM
/2087
not work !

Login to your root SSH

use the following commands

selinux=disabled
setenforce 0
service iptables stop

Then try to open whm

If still not work then use the following command

/scripts/upcp --force

Thanks solved
But " service iptables stop "
for CSF need Iptables
how i can FIX iptables for using in WHM ?

[Gary4gar]

you need to open ports in iptables. like if I want to open port 2087 use by whm I would do:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 2087 -j ACCEPT

[linux2k]

iptables/csf is not fully supported in VPS enviroment.
First manually config iptables or use csf in test mode.

im restart vps but again me must " service iptables stop "
befor restart i do :

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 208 -j ACCEPT

but after restart we must again run " service iptables stop "
how i can solve or allow that to work WHM for ever after restart.?

If you use CSF Firewall you can add the ports that you need opened in /etc/csf/csf.conf Just look for the TCP_IN section and add the ports that you need in there.

2077 = Web Disk
2078 = Web Disk SSL
2082 = cPanel
2083 = cPanel SSL
2086 = WHM
2087 = WHM SSL
2095 = Webmail
2096 = Webmail SSL

After editing and saving the file, run service csf restart from SSH. That should make sure that the ports are open whenever CSF starts.

[hichkas]

no im not using CSF.

[linux2k]

Use command
service iptables disabled

[hichkas]

yes , i know
if i restart server
again must run thats command ?

[Crashus]

run chmod 000 /etc/init.d/iptables

this will prevent your iptables from starting at vps startup. However it is really bad idea to use it in such way, better option is to install CSF (you maybe can do it in WHM) and configure it properly. CSF+LFD is very good thing actually.
