Sharing is caring!

Now I want to share this is centos 7 firewall issue. Sometime firewall not installed or service not running on your centos 7 server. So you can’t allow any port from your server. Error below when your run command for allow port.

$ [[email protected] ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent

FirewallD is not running

$ [[email protected] ~]# systemctl start firewalld
$ [[email protected] ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Now check status using below command

$ [[email protected] ~]# systemctl status firewalld

Now check all enable allow ports using below command.
