Topic : Locked out of my control panel!

Posted By: Rockman on June 28, 2020, 9:52 am

Not sure what i did, but I managed to block access to my webuzo control panel!Now all I see when I go to
209.xxx.xxx.xxx:2002
209.xxx.xxx.xxx:2003
209.xxx.xxx.xxx:2004
209.xxx.xxx.xxx:2005
I just get a 404 error - Unable to connect. Though leaving off the port number takes me to my webpage without problems.I have a feeling that a long time ago, I blocked access to it from all IPs except mine - and now my IP has changed, so I can no longer get in lol!I have ssh access - and I think, all I have to do, is delete one small file to fix this - but I don't know which one - and there are a lot of files!I seem to remember this happening to me before, a long time ago, but I don't exactly remember how I fixed it, and I have searched google till I am almost crazy!Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I'll just add, before someone tells me to try this - I tried the command 'service webuzo restart ', and Webuzo successfully restarted - but I still don't have access to the control panel!

easy fix:
login as root with ssh and add a rule to allow traffic to specific ports.
You may need to replace "eth0" with your network interface

Code
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2002 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2003 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2004 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2005 -j ACCEPT

Thanks - but I contacted my hosting company, and they fixed it for me.

I'm not sure what they did - but it works now!

I tried the above fix, but it had no effect whatsoever. I typed it in, hit return and got no message whatsoever, error or otherwise - though I wasn't sure what 'replace "eth0" with your network interface' really entailed! I have no idea what my 'network interface' is, or how to find out - so I didn't try that! - maybe this fix could help someone else with a similar problem.

Thanks for the assistance.
