I have set up an Amazon ec2 server but I want to open port 2195 and 443.
I already added ports from security group in Amazon console. When I listen port using
netstat -anltp | grep LISTENI also checked if ubuntu firewall is blocked or not.
Please help me.
After you add the ports in EC2 Security Group, they are ready to be used by any process. Restarting your EC2 instance is also not needed.
netstat -anltp | grep LISTEN
will start showing the new ports as soon as some process is started which LISTEN on them
Just restart the e2 instance and check it and make sure you have the saved the security group settings after adding the new ports.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport PORT_NO_U_WANTED_TO_OPEN -j ACCEPT
try this .
you can disable iptables on ec2 because because there is security group on console to limit open port, but here my solution if you still want to using it:
manual edit file /etc/sysconfig/iptables with the following step
flush iptables caches
iptables -F
edit the file
nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
add you port and make sure the line like
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
and not
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
save and restart iptables
service iptables save
service iptables restart
