CentOS 5 Server :: Change My Ssh Port From The Default 22
Feb 9, 2010
I want to change my ssh port from the default 22 to something else. I did the following: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config; uncommented Port 22 and changed it to the desired port number. After that I run service sshd restart for the change to take an effect. Now, when I want to login into the new port I receive this message - Network error:Unable to route to host. When I change the port back to 22, I will be able to login again.
I have a CentOS server running at [a link which has been moderator deleted] (a text-based game I'm building) which is displaying the default welcome page. I'll quote some of the things that page says:
Quote: "Apache 2 Test Page powered by CentOS This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly."
"If you are the website administrator: You may now add content to the directory /var/www/html/. Note that until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page and not your content. To prevent this page from ever being used, follow the instructions in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf. You are free to use the images below on Apache and CentOS Linux powered HTTP servers.
i need to change ssh port on the servers including centos and ubuntu when i make changes to /etc/ssh/sshd.config and change the port to something else restart sshd then i can determine that port 22 is not working but ssh does not connect to new port it says "no route to the host"
VERY new to linux, erm but I have an issue that needs solving!I recently moved to university, where their network blocks sftp port 22, this means that I cannot connect to my FTP server which is running a version of linux.Now I've got this ftp server connected to a seedbox and it was created using the following walk through..Code:I have written this guide for a friend, but I though it would be useful for others as well.
There are several guides floating around, but I found that most always cock up in some way. This one is tried and tested to work on Debian Etch (on an OVH rps, but should apply to most servers).If there is a new stable release of rtorrent/libtorrent then I will update this guide to show you how to update it (without reinstalling the whole server).
At the bottom there are also instructions to install ftp access & some network monitoring software.Basically, I would really like someone to be able to construct the commands on how to change the listen port for sftp connection on linux or add another port to the list that Linux would use so that I could put in through putty.
I used pptpd in cent os 5.4I want to change the default port 1723 of pptpd to 1813I chnage the pptpd port in service file to 1813 but ppp dont worknote : in ms vpn client i change the port to 1813
so i set out to change the default smtp port the server uses because my ISP blocks port 25 and i need the email to work in outlook. this morning i could receive email, but not send it. so i did some research and thought that i needed to edit the master.cf file in /etc/postfix/ by commenting out this line: smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -oand replace it with587 inet n - n - - smtpd (587 being the port i want to use)somewhere along the lines postfix server stopped running and now i cannot get it to start.if i try using SSH it crashes immediately and if i restart it in simple control panel nothing happens
I edited "sshd_config" file and changed port 22 to a new port. After I restart ssh, it listens on port 22 and the new port. How can I disable SSH to listen on port 22? I'm using Debian.
I go in using nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config I change the port number.. I then restart ssh service restart.. I then run netstat -tupln and it still shows ssh as port 22!i am not sure what I am doing that is incorrect.Do I have to remove the # < ? I go to redit it and its still showing 2222 nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config ?
I have the first part of this script working, but I need help on how to specify a different port other than the default 22 for one particular server in my hostlist. First, here's my working script:
[code]....
Now, the hostlist contains a few servers that all share the same password in this test so as not to complicate that portion of expect's password section. However, one of the servers within hostlist_test will need to have the ssh port defined as, for example, 5522 as I've defined the port forward in DD-WRT's NAT section and changed in the appropriate /etc/ssh/sshd_config for listening. Might anyone be able to help me include that part in my script?
Now that I've set up an FTP server here at home I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to change from the default Port 21 to something else. Can I use any port I desire or are there only certain ports that support this protocol?
tring to run an ftp server on default ports with port 10100-10199 as passive. Using vsftp. But the ports refuse to open what the heck am I doing wrong? see screen shot. oh using karmac, now.
I've noticed that on one of our servers apache is running on nice 19.Any idea where can I change it back to the default 15?I know I can change it on the apache startup script, but I thought it's probably better to change the default value that was probably changed somewhere.It is running as a service on startup.
i am not able to port 8080 on my CentOS VPS server.I have followed all the instuctions as mentioned on iptables wiki page.Also I am able to telnet my ip address and port number, But can not access from browser.
I wish to use the VNC server built in to the Ubuntu to easily access it from other computers on my local network. I need to skew the VNC Server port off of the normal 5900 to something else because I am using VNC to access several computers (sometimes simultaneously) so each VNC server needs to be set with a different port #. At this point it is all local subnet connections with no incoming internet access and I am not worried about security.
I have scalix (sendmail) installed on my server and it is working very good but I need to change the smtp listening port because I am thinking that my sendmail is being used as a spam engine.
what/how I need to configure in order to change the smtp port?
i have created a wordpress user with a symbolic link from his home (/home/wordpress) to /usr/share/wordpress but when wordpress ftps to wordpress home dir it does not follow the sym-link. is there a way to set default ftp dir for the wordpress user to /usr/share/wordpress rather than /home/wordpress?
When you first access Nagios, it displays the Home page (the Nagios Core version and check for updates page). I would like to have a way to change the default page to either the Tactical Overview display or the Services display.This question was asked here, but not answered
I installed Ubuntu Server and want to change the default user name to increase the difficulty of accessing the server.Is it possible to do this? If not, can I effect the same change by creating a new user and transferring over permissions, files, and etc.?
I finally got the server running. All seems OKAY, however I want to change the default player on my server. As of now, when I upload a file, it plays but has no "play/pause/stop/mute/fullscreen" buttons. How do I get those? I've tried installing FFMPEG, MPlayer and a few others to no avail. Please suggest a tried&true method of allowing for this. I need it to be able to at least play audio(mp3) and video(mp4,wmv,avi,flv)
I'm using CFEngine 2.2.8 to configure a network of Debian servers, the servers have two interfaces eth0 and eth1, how can I configure cfagent to take as the default interface eth1? eth0 is the internal interface and eht1 is the one with the public IP, I need to define classes based on lists of public IPs and it would be really helpfull if I could use functions as IPRange that only consider IP in eth0 interface.
I am now using CentOS5 as the server providing Apache services. I have managed to setup the web page under /home/user1/public_html, now I wish to change the default web page of our server to /home/user1/public_html. i tried to modify httpd.conf, in which i changed the "/var/www/" to the above user directory, but didnot work. Please kindly suggest.
I have written simple application in cpp which listens on port 8080. But when I start the application and check the port it is listening on (using netstat -nap), I can see that the application is listening on port which is > 30000.
This port number keeps on changing if I re-run the application.Please let us know if I have to do any kind of a seeting so that application starts listening on 8080 port.I am using CentOS 5.5 (I tried same on CentOs 5.2)
My host is blocking port 3960 which I need to use for an SVN server, they are telling me that I will have to install my own firewall. I've not done this before and am not sure of what to do or whether anything I can install will be enough protection.
