Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello evrybody, I am new to this forum and I am totally new to server setup, vesta, virtual servers etc.

I do not know what I have changed in meanwhile, but I cannot access the control panel any more. It does not even appear.

When I go to https://78.47.74.206:8083/ nothing is loading there.
I still have access with ssh and can edit my websites, mysql etc via shell. I can also access the websites

What can be the reason that vesta is not loading at all? What will happen if I reinstall it? Will all settings be overwritten? DO I have to reinstall vesta? Where are my settings stored, so I can back them up?

Thank you all for the help.

Hi icuetcue,

The port #8083 on IP 78.47.74.206 it's closed (TCP closed, UDP seems open, but for you, the important one is the TCP).

Check that iptables it's properly configured or desactivated and also check that Hertzner (I think is your hosting provider) have not any firewall activated.

Does your server have a static local IP address?

Thank you for the response.
@ Trentor. I will check why the port could be closed. After installation of Vesta it was running without any issues. Out of a sudden it just stopped working. Might it be also because of some dns changes?
@turkey3 I have a virtual server with a static ip.

What I could see here with netstat -tulpen is following on port 8083:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State User Inode PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8083 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 17792 7172/vesta-nginx

What would be correct here?

I solved the issue by followingsteps:

Open csf configuration file
nano /etc/csf/csf.conf

Add port 8083 to incoming and outgoing tcp ports

#Testing mode
Testing = "0"
# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,8083"

# Allow outgoing TCP ports
TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443,8083"

Save this and then restart csf

service csf start

Hi icuetcue.

Perfect; thanks for sharing the solution.
