Hi
Will someone please remove the veil of ignorance from my eyes. I am unable to open additional ports other than ssh on a Centos 7.0-1406 x64 (minimal install) VMware VM using iptables, firewalld (cli or gui (firewall-config)). GRC.com/shieldsup indicates if the ports are open/close/non-responsive. Port 22 is the only port which is open. The OS has been patched/updated etc. The lack of anyone else having the same issue, indicates I am doing something obviously wrong. How can one screw up check boxes on a gui interface? How hard is to reload the firewall after applying the settings to the runtime or the permanent dropdown menu? I tried opening the ports via firewall cli (iptables also) and received the same results regardless of what zone I applied the changes to.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA!

Opening Ports via Firewalld CLI / GUI not working
Re: Opening Ports via Firewalld CLI / GUI not working
For example:
The first one affects the running config but will be lost on reboot/restart. The second one does not affect the running config but does make it so that it comes back after reboot/restart. You need to do both or you need to do the latter followed by a reload. You can also do it by port number using e.g.:
Code: Select all
firewall-cmd --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
Code: Select all
firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Hi
Me llamo es estupido! Until I install services (Zimbra for example) to listen on the "opened" ports in the firewall, the ports will be listed as closed by a port scan. Arrrggghhhh.
