Linux - How to Open a Port
Hi,
I would like to open a specific port for use with a bespoke application.
Before everyone points me to other threads - I read a few but couldn't find any specific to my problem.
Iptables / firewall is disabled
SELinux is also disabled
I would just like to assign this port to this application?
i have tried the commands to add iptables ports and adding a line to the iptables config file but without any success.
RHEL5.6
can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?
