Find out the open ports in an instance

 Below command will list out ports which are already defined in the linux machine:

$ semanage port -l | grep http_port_t


http_port_t                    tcp      80, 81, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443, 9000
pegasus_http_port_t            tcp      5988


If you wish to add a new port to the list, run the below command:


$ semanage port -l | grep http_port_t -p tcp 7001


http_port_t                    tcp      7001, 80, 81, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443, 9000
pegasus_http_port_t            tcp      5988


Check if firewall rules are enabled:


$ service iptables status


Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination
1    DROP       tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80
2    ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
num  target     prot opt source               destination


If you wish to add specific port to firewall rules, run below command:


$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 7001 -j ACCEPT

Error: could not open mime types config file

Sometime, httpd service is being stopped in the service due to mime types files. When you will check the logs, you will get the following error: root@server [~]# tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log [Wed May 08 17:08:25 2013] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not open mime types config file /usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types. Configuration Failed Fix: In such scenario, you can fix the issue by copying the mime.types files from /etc directory to /etc/httpd/conf/ or /usr/local/apache/conf (In cPanel server). root@server [/etc]# cp -iv mime.types /usr/local/apache/conf/ `mime.types' -> `/usr/local/apache/conf/mime.types' root@server [/etc]# Then start httpd as follows: root@server [/usr/local/apache/conf]# /etc/init.d/httpd start root@server [/usr/local/apache/conf]# The httpd service is started now. :)

Disabling open relay on cPanel server

Sometimes your server might face mail problems as the server is configured for open relay. Open Relay allows SMTP server to be configured in such a way that it allows anyone on the Internet to send e-mail through it. This can blacklist the server's IP address. To disable Open Relay on the cpanel server you can follow following simple steps: 1. Login to WHM. 2. Navigate to WHM >> Main >> Tweak Settings >> Initial default/catch-all forwarder destination. 3. Set this setting to "Bounce/Fail". This should turn off the open relay on the server. Enabling "Bounce”/"Fail" module is usually the best choice if you are getting mail attacks. Thank you.
