Topic : Firewall Prevents Accessing Panel On Fresh Installs

Posted By: VeryCrushed on July 10, 2015, 1:08 am

Running CentOS 7, if you are to do a fresh install then run the webuzo installer using the --install option then do a reboot without going to http://my-ip:2004/install.php you will be unable to continue setup due to the firewall blocking port 2004.

I assume in the Webuzo installer script it stops the firewall, a better solution would be to disable it (you provide CSF anyways). Would have saved me many headaches had i known this beforhand and having to modify my template VM's.

Here is an example of how you can reproduce this issue:

1. Install CentOS 7 in a VMWare Workstation/Player VM setting a static ip.
2. yum install wget and update
3. run the install command after downloading the install script, for reference this is what i used and got the error with: ./install.sh --install=lamp,php54,php55,php56,xcache,bind,pureftpd,exim,dovecot,awstats,ruby,rails,mongodb,tomcat,csf
3. Reboot the system

You should be unable to access the webuzo install page on :2004/install.php

To resolve: in shell type: systemctl stop firewalld
To fully fix the issue even on a reboot: systemctl disable firewalld
