How to check if the cPanel Ports are open?
Usually Cpanel can be opened from:
https://mydomain.com:2083
http://mydomain.com:2082
http://cpanel.servername.com
Many times local firewalls allows access only to sites on Port 80. In such cases you can use http://cpanel.servername.com
Note:http://cpanel.servername.com is the web based proxy which provides you the option to access your cPanel via http port 80
You can execute the following commands to check if the ports are blocked.
For Windows
-Click Start
-Click Run
-Type cmd
-Type telnet mydomain.com 2083
-Type telnet mydomain.com 2082
For Linux
-Start your Linux/Mac OS console terminal
-Type telnet mydomain.com 2083
-Type telnet mydomain.com 2082
If the port is not blocked the results should look like the above Trying IP_of_the_server ( 91.27.1.10 for an example )…
Connected to servername.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
Some another result will ensure that the port is blocked and you should use http://cpanel.servername.com.
