Hi crazy-alex and welcome to our Elastix Forum.

Fail2ban, it's well. Today, too many Elastix servers are hacked now. :huh:
The next version is improved about Elastix security with the firewall module and locking the Freepbx access (you could unlock it when you want)

About your port, it's more easy to redirect every port used than to change the https port.
If you have the possibility to change these ports directly from your router, it will be better.

From my side, i don't know change directly the https port. I know to change http. However, if you must change it, look around ssl.conf into httpd/conf.d. Here, you could change the port 443, but it's not enough. :huh:

Regards

Yes i tried changing the port 443 and it was to no avail i know it is possible because my fathers coworke intalled one and he was able to do it but i could not re creat it and he doenst want to share information because he has this heightened sense of him self so can some one please help me

Hi.

Ho... the bad guy :blush:

Ok.

We'll try it together.

About change port 443, maybe change this line too:
<VirtualHost _default_:443> by
<VirtualHost _default_:883>

Just an idea like that.

Don't forget to restart httpd service after each modifications.

Let me know.

 

[crazy-alex]

i did that as well and nothing... ive been working at it for about 3 nights now after i get out of work i work on it... ive gotten alot done to my server except for that... :S

 

[danardf]

So for resume, you had changed:
- listen *:443 and
- <VirtualHost _default_:443>
Restarted Apache : service httpd restart and no result?

weird

Do you have a router, and is it able to forward some ports?
By this way, you could forward a port like for example from 883 to 443.
This way works fine.

As danardf mentioned, changing /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf...

From...
Listen 443
<VirtualHost _default_:443>

To...
Listen 4443
<VirtualHost _default_:4443>

And restarting with the following command...
service httpd restart

Works just fine. You'll find that this is a common change in most Apache deployments for those who want to change there SSL port.

I wonder if you forgot to restart the httpd service.

I'm curious of your results.

I'd like to add to this, I followed danardf's instructions and tried this myself. One thing to keep in mind, if the firewall's enabled, at least open your custom port for tcp, or disable it (only for testing purposes!).

Having done this I got mine to work as well.

Might this be your problem?

 

[Bob1]

I'll weigh in as well...

Instructions from Danardf are correct......

Taute, the GUI firewall didn't come in until 2.04, so unless he implemented IPTables, he shouldn't have a firewall issue...

If you are comfortable with the linux prompt, can you SSH to your system
and execute

netstat -l --tcp --numeric --programs

And post the results back - should only be about 10-12 lines

Regards

Say,
I configured with Webmin as follows:

CHANGE HTTPS Apache listen port:
Webmin-->Servers-->Apache Webserver-->Global Configuration-->Networking and Addresses 443-->4434 (Listens On Port-->4434)
Set No IP nexto port 80

Webmin-->Servers-->Apache Webserver-->Existing virtual hosts-->Virtual Server. Scroll down and change 443-->4434 (Will only login as https on port 4434)

Hope this helps.
