cPanel functions (create/suspend/etc) error on remote server

[chisel]

Hey,

 

I have WHMCS installed on one server, and I am trying to control another server (create accounts etc). I have checked the firewall rules are in place on TCP 2087.

 

When I try to create a hosting account in WHMCS it times out and gives "Curl Error - couldn't connect to host (7)".

 

I wrote (well, borrowed and modified ) this PHP script to see if the WHMCS box can connect to port 2087 of the remote server...

 

<?php

$fp = fsockopen("75.126.xx.xx", 2087, $errno, $errstr, 30);

if (!$fp) {

echo "$errstr ($errno)

\n";

} else {

echo "Port connected";

fclose($fp);

}

?>

 

... and it can. So is 2087 the right SSL port for performing these functions?
