Title: Socket Creation
Post by: rpotter187 on June 27, 2005, 07:35:17 PM
Hey all,

Really need some help on this one:

I've recently installed a PHP/SQL web based application to create repair tickets when computers come in for repair at our store front. But when trying to access the application we get a licensing error.

According to the company that makes the application I need to do the following:

RS2 installation is unable to create sockets and connect to the LMS servers in order to verify and authenticate the license information.

How do I create sockets or allow sockets to be created on port 54321 (this is the port that the company states needs to be open for the communication to take place).

This is really driving me nuts... :-?

If the software on the server is trying to connect _out_, it should just work.

If the other site is trying to connect _in_, the connection will be blocked by the firewall.

See the templates in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/45Allow*

for many examples of how to poke a hole.
