This is an automated alert generated from mavi.hehehe.com. This alert is to

notify the addressed users of new server sockets. New server sockets can

indicate server-software that has been started on your host, or otherwise

be an indication to malicious activity. It is advised to review this alert

and investigate if needed.

 

Following is a summary of new Internet Server Sockets:

> tcp 0 0 xxx.xx.81.106:15601 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -

> tcp 0 0 xxx.xx.81.106:45951 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -

 

Following is a summary of a new Unix Domain Sockets:

no changes to Unix Domain Sockets

 

How can ş fix this any body had similar expreince before?

I HIGHLY doubt that Matt's licensing system it trying to make an out bound connection on those ports to contact the license server.

I have a very strick firewall, and I have all non-standard cpanel ports locked down in/out. I have never had any problems getting to the license server. I am going to bet its using port 80. If it was opening odd ports, I am sure Matt and this forum would be flooded with topics like this, and yet this is the ONLY post on this topic.

Did you do a netstat -a from a shell? This might show you more details if you server is listening on these ports, and/or if you have any established connections on these ports.

2086 & 2087 are standard Cpanel/WHM ports.... Plus a whole bunch of others....

 

Standard open inbound ports: 20,21,22,25,26,53,80,110,143,443,465,953,993,995,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,3306

 

Stand open outbound ports: 20,21,22,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,587,873,953,2087,2089,2703,3306

 

With the above, he have never had a problem with WHMCS

That still wouldn't explain licensing errors, which may be totally unrelated to whatever port is open or not. I'm just saying, if the guy (I assume he's a guy) has a question or problem, let him ask without discounting his issue.

Cyberturk, please open a ticket about this issue. Your WHMCS is not working with the local license key system and is therefore contacting our server more often than it normally would. However, no errors showing so I suspect your server is blocking the connection at various times. I can confirm port 80 is used for license checks so no special ports need to be opened and that email you're getting will have nothing to do with WHMCS.
