I force installed hestiacp on ubuntu because there was an already existing admin, now I can’t get to hestiacp login page browser always says connection error; can’t reach server meanwhile I have opened all the necessary ports including 8083, 80, 443 and the rest. What could be the problem and a possible solution? should I delete my Oracle instance… and reinstall again?
I have check the status of hestia and nginx to see if they are running on the server; and yes they are running fine yet the problem seems to persist. I tried on a different device and on different browsers, it always returns the error connection message…trying xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx:8083 doesn’t work neither all others cpanel.mydomain.tld:8083 or cpanel.my
ufw status seems to indicate all necessary ports are opened…:
It seems to me that it is either oracle infrastructure that is blocking all the ports deliberately by default (as I have already enabled them in their oracle cloud infrastructure ingress rules). Or it could be that cloudflare is rather blocking them… Anyways it is a free server of a friend who wanted a helping hand… i will check further to see why it isn’t working when all seems to be fine. thanks.
The issue has been resolved. I checked my colleague’s Oracle cloud infrastructure Firewall/Ingress rules and he had rather set the ports on the “source ports” instead of the “destination ports” for instance instead of setting destination ports as 80 he rather set source port as 80 and destination as “all” hence the reason why there could not be any connection. Now I have changed all of them and it is working fine.
So there ought not to have been any issue at all. I guess I should have asked him to let me check his OCI Ingress at first before troubleshooting anything on his hestia vm instance.
