[Asterisk-Users] newbie can't start * ---

[Greg Hill]

I'm not sure about the RH8 system, but I know RH9 comes with some firewall
stuff set up (by default?). As root, run 'iptables -L' . If you see
something in there about "Chain RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT" or similar (that's
the name used on a RH9 box I use), then the machine has some firewalling
set up. If you do have firewalling set up, then it's likely that the
ports * wants to use are blocked. Scroll back a few hours through the list
archives and you'll find a message which mentions what ports * uses..

If you do have firewalls set up like this, then you could entirely remove
the firewall by using 'iptables -F; iptables -X' (as root). Again, this
completely removes your firewalls, which is probably something you
wouldn't want to use for a long-term fix (especially if your machine is
visibile on the internet..). There are HOW-TOs and probably other mailing
lists where you can learn more about firewalls with iptables.
