[Solved] cpanel and firefox giving trouble

crebilis · January 15th, 2008, 8:43 PM

hi all,

Since a while, I've been having problems with accessing cpanel through firefox. whenever I try to go to my cpanel, I get the following error:

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at cosmicchaos.net:2082.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The problem only occurs with firefox, I can access cpanel through IE, so It's not a network thingy. I have tried clearing cache, cookies, history, whatever but nothing helps.

I could of course use IE, but I very much prefer firefox. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Have you tried
http://cosmicchaos.net/cpanel?
I can see the cpanel login box.

yah, tried it all. And it works on other computers. I'm now on a library computer using firefox, and I see the login box. So it's specific for my firefox I guess.

Weird thing is that I can access the main site. It's just cpanel and also webmail that doesn't work.

Just a thought ..
have u got any firewalls or security things blocking it?
i use firefox and had the same trouble with my old host because my firewall had blocked cPanel

I disabled my firewall (comodo firewall pro) and it works indeed. Weird, why doesn't it block cpanel in IE then?

Gonna see what I can do about this now. Thanks for the tip

you may have different settings for different browsers

,
but glad you got it working

yup, I checked it, and I made it so Comodo treats ff as a web browser. It seems like it didn't like me going to an url with a different port, so I allowed my servers ip + port 2082.
