Server works fine but cannot connect to the web admin page

[gundelgauk]

Hi there.


I have spent about 1.5 hours searching and reading the forum and I saw a lot of posts that seemed to describe the same or similar problem but found no working solution to my specific problem.

I configured server.ini and started the server. It is running and listening fine, netstat -tan returns tcp 0 0 serverip:51234 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 serverip:12007 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN(note: I changed the HTTPServer Port to 12007)

I can connect to the server with the teamspeak client and to the telnet admin interface, both remotely from my home computer and on the server itself via localhost. The only thing that is not working is the http admin page. It just times out as if the port was filtered by the firewall. However I turned the firewall completely off to test if this was the case and it still doesn't work.

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


I cannot even connect to the port from the server itself, with localhost.

Yes, I tried the correct URLs, namely http://serverip:12007/ remotely and http://127.0.0.1:12007/ locally.


Does anyone have any clues as to why this is the case?

Some random guesses from myself:
- Maybe a conflict with Apache? But it only listenes on port 80 and TS would give me an error if the port were in use...
- Maybe a problem with the kernel? uname returns 2.6.13-15.13-smp.
- Maybe it's because the server is running on an Athlon 64? /proc/cpuinfo says AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+?

Are you using IE7? I cant get the webinterface to work with IE7 only with previous versions of IE

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried IE7 and Seamonkey/Firefox on my home computer and Lynx on the server itself. Same results. I've also tried to telnet to the http port to see if I can get any response. Nothing. Everything times out.

You didn't post any logs or inis, so I don't know your topology and everything you've tried so at the risk of giving redundant suggestions, I'll generalise:

This is a port issue. The application is running, and both server and telnet works, so your 12007 is being blocked somewhere.

All relevant ports need to be open on your router as well as your local firewall.
All relevant ports must also be forwarded from your router to your server system.
Server.ini must be configured with the port you are using:

[Main Config]
BoundToIp1=
ExternalIPDectection=1
HTTPServer Port=12007
HTTPServer Enabled=1
DateTimeFormat=dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss
TCPQueryPort=51234
AllowedClientNameChars=
DisAllowedClientNameChars=()[]{}

Try interchanging your telnetport with your webadmin port. See if that makes a difference to either of them:

[Main Config]
BoundToIp1=
ExternalIPDectection=1
HTTPServer Port=51234
HTTPServer Enabled=1
DateTimeFormat=dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss
TCPQueryPort=12007
AllowedClientNameChars=
DisAllowedClientNameChars=()[]{}

Remember to restart the application after changing server.ini.
