How to open a port? (CentOS 6)

[Sparko]

Hello,

How can I open a port on my dedi for votifier? I tried doing

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1234 --syn -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service sshd restart

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1234 --syn -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 1234
service sshd restart

and the gui one which is:

system-config-firewall-tui
service sshd restart

but none of those opened my port (I'm checking through http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/)

Did you make sure to use the votifier port and not 1234?

No, I haven't gotten to votifier yet because I'm still trying to figure out how to open the port. I also have a new problem, since I installed selinux I can't access the server, do you also know how to uninstall that?

Setenforce 0

To temporarily disable it. If you want to fully disable it you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and change the SELINUX=permissive to SELINUX=disabled

Thank you, can I PM you about some problems I'm encountering?

Sure.

If still not resolved, post the output of iptables -L and getenforce so that we could get an idea.

It has been resolved, but I will still send that later on in case there was another problem causing it
