Can't access the web admin interface on a recent conversion from Apache to LSWS

[Doubletap]

Hello,

First post and new convert to LSWS from Apache. I run a fairly active web forum that has come under ddos attack lately and LSWS came highly recommended over at WebHostingTalk to mitigate the effects of the attack.

So far, so good. I installed LSWS using the WHM plugin on my VPS. The server runs CentOS 5.x if that matters.

The problem is that when I'm in WHM and try to access the link to the LSWS admin interface, the link obviously points to http://127.0.0.1:7080 which isn't going to work.

I've tried going straight to http://server.domain.com:7080 and also http://ipaddress:7080 and neither of those work either.

Looking for some recommendations on what to try to fix this. The error log in the installation/admin/logs/ directory is 0-bytes.

Thanks.

You need to open port 7080 with your firewall.

Thank you; so obvious that I completely overlooked it. It's working fine now.

Yes, we've been having a heck of a time with this DDOS issue over the past few weeks but thankfully switching to LiteSpeed with the trial Enterprise key is making it much easier on us. I'm sure we'll be buying a license very soon.
