Hey all Yesterday I bought a dedi from OVH, and I chose for it to be installed with CentOS 5 and CPanel 11. After getting my server set up within an hour I went off and bought a one month CPanel licence from a reseller that does them for $42 a month... when I ordered I gave them my hostname (which I double checked through SSH) and the servers IP. I got an email back saying I have paid and I'm ready to go... but I'm at a loss as of what to do now... This is the first time I have done this so I'm not sure what I need to do, I have checked using http://verify.cpanel.net that my licence is legit, and it is, but when I try to log into CPanel I get the License File Expired error message. Using CPanels troubleshooting, I have checked to see if port 2089 is open using the online manager from OVH... and I don't think it is. Can anyone tell me the SSH commands to open the port? Thanks
Ok here you go iptables -A INPUT -s YOURIPHERE -p tcp -m tcp --dport PORT -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT Code (markup): YOURIPHERE = your ip address PORT = port you want opened Good luck with your new server
I did wrote something on it. Here : http://www.keralpatel.com/cpanel-license-file-expired/ Maybe it will be helpful to someone with similar problems.
