[Solved]Problems while connecting to the whois server on port 43
[Solved]Problems while connecting to the whois server on port 43
Hello everyone,
Today I just installed WHMCS to my webserver using Vesta, I just successfully installed everything regarding vesta and whmcs, now I'm just testing it out and the domain check availability does not work, it shows this error message after 10 or 15 secs:
I was investigating that and I found that the port 43 could be blocked for outgoing connections as stated here:
I tried opening the port 43 as stated below:
and it did not work, it is still showing the same error message, I've turned of iptables and it starts working properly when I do a domain availability lookup.
Sys info:
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" 64bits
vesta core package Version:0.9.8 (amd64) Release:14
If anyone has any idea on how to fix this matter that would be greatly appreciated :)

Try restarting the firewall under services tab. I had to do that on a fresh install or some ports wouldn't work properly.
