emonero Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 how can I open port 2082 so I could access the cpanel?
Mark H. Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 "Opening ports" usually means adjusting your firewall rules to allow TCP/UDP ingress/egress. 2082 is the default cPanel port. If your host offers cPanel, it should already be open. But a bit more info is needed here. Is this a dedicated server that you lease? A Shared account on a Host like IPS/GoDaddy/Hostgator? Are you behind a firewall yourself? Are you on a proxy?

Is there a work around to get to cpanel from a corporate network?
emonero Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 BTW I host my forum with Invision hosting services.

Lindsey_ Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I try that already, doesn't work. Then A support ticket might be the best way..

Is there a work around to get to cpanel from a corporate network? I believe those are the magic words. Your company Firewall is almost certainly blocking port 2082. Or, more correctly, they haven't opened it. This is common, by the way. And it begs the question, "If this is your own private, non-company-related, website *should* you be accessing it on the company's time"? Only you can answer that. And only they can open that port. cPanel does have a way to use port 80 (the HTTP port), if set up for it. But only IPS can do that. Good luck.
