Ports to open for server

Posted by sababa on Thu, 04/17/2008

Hi

I am having a strange problem. I can get softphones (havent tried normal sip phones yet) to register on my server although I can not logon to the WebGUI from outside my LAN.
The softphones are on my LAN and outside the LAN.

Does anyone know what ports I should be opening on my firewall?

The default webmin port is 10000, so I would try that first. If that doesn't work I would check and see what port webmin is running on.

Since PBX Mgr is a Webmin module it runs on 10000 if the default hasn't been changed. So, 10000 has to be open. But, that may not be enough. You may also have to forward port 10000 traffic from your firewall to your PBX Mgr server if it's not already forwarding everything there.

Sababa,

Maybe we all misunderstood the problem...you wrote:

Is the problem that phones can not register, or you can not access the WebGUI?

Sounds like your firewall doesn't know where to send the port 10000 traffic once it allows it through. If that's the case you need to put a rule in your firewall telling it to send port 10000 traffic to the internal ip address of your asterisk server.

Do you have the ability to ssh to the server? If so ssh in and do this:

tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.log

Try connecting while that's running. You should see something scroll by in the log file while you're trying to connect. If you don't, do the same thing with the error log like this:

tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.error

Of course, I'm assuming the logs are in the same place on my server as they are on yours.
