[Solved] Admin Web Console Not Loading After New Installation

[sagesmart]

Using the WHM plugin, I recently installed LSWS using a VPS Enterprise license. Everything appeared to have installed correctly. So, then I clicked on "Build Matching PHP Binary". Again, no apparent errors. I then clicked on "Restart LiteSpeed".

I then clicked on "Admin Web Console" and Firefox would not load the page. Firefox gave the following message, "The connection has timed out".

I then uninstalled LSWS and re-installed it to see if that would help, but it did not help.

Some options I used are as follows:

LiteSpeed Port Offset is 2000
I enabled PHP suEXEC

The only thing that looked suspicious during the LSWS installation was this message:

Generating key pair for web console login page, please wait ...
Generating RSA private key, 512 bit long modulus
.........................++++++++++++
...........++++++++++++
unable to write 'random state'

I have no clue what that message is about and I don't know if that has anything to do with why I can't load the Admin Web Console (or any other web page on my site) using LiteSpeed on port 2080 (which I thought I would be able to with a port offset of 2000).

Any ideas on what might be going on here?

are you running CSF firewall? If so try opening the port....

Admin Console is listening on port 7080 by default.

[sagesmart]

Thanks for the tips.

Port 7080 was indeed being blocked by my firewall. So, I opened up port 7080. However, I'm still not able to view the web console when I click on it.

Any ideas on where to go from here?

[webizen]

check if port 7080 is listening. For CentOS, try below from command line:

netstat -ntpl | grep :7080

if no result, try start LSWS from command line:

/usr/local/lsws/bin/lswsctrl start

[Jeffwar]

Having same problem. When I do the netstat, it says

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8893/litespeed (lsh



Any ideas or help? Thanks!

It is likely your firewall blocks TCP port 7080 access from outside.

I don't have a firewall setup? Not one that I know of atleast. I am running a liquid web 1 gig VPS.

[webizen]

do from command line and see if you get anything back

telnet SERVER_IP 7080
or
curl -I SERVER_IP:7080
