Hi, I'm trying to send push notification on self hosted. I had hostgator migrate my control panel from another hoster. I've got the info the ports needed are opened: [root@gator2002 ~]# iptables -nL OUTPUT | egrep '5223|2195|2196|443' ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:443 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:443 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:2196 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:2196 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:2195 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:2195 ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:5223 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:5223 NFQUEUE_CHAIN tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp multiport dports 80,443 ACCEPT tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:443 I'm still unable to send notifications. Any ideas? Cheers. Miguel

Hi Miguel. Have you tried to use a different program to get to those ports from outside Hostgator? i.e. try the following from either Terminal (on Mac) or DOS (on Windows): > telnet <your-domain-name or IP at Hostgator> <port-number> It could be that Hostgator is blocking the ports you need from outside access. I'm not a network guru, but normally allowing both inbound & outbound access to those ports should resolve your issues. Let me know how it goes, as I was considering trying Hostgator (been using BlueHost for a very long time and never had any issues so far, but good to try someone different once in a while). More info about testing ports to see if they are truly open at link below (because I'm into VMware): http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003487 Cheers

I'll try that, thank you. Does it need to be outbound only or inbound as well? Thanks. Miguel

Hi Miguel. Try the above test first. If you get no response then Hostgator is blocking those ports. Then talk to Hostgator tech support to see if they can open those ports just for your domain/IP both inbound & outbound (just to be sure) :-) Good luck!

I get no responce. Hostgator says they can only open outbound. :(

Hi Miguel, In case you missed it, check out @Kitssy's post on the subject, might help you. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=90E9ED95800E9900E3EBE6F&currentPage=1 Cheers, Farcat
