I reloaded my ftp module into the firewall of my Linux web server and that enabled my XP Pro music server to properly update my Linux web server with the currently playing songs.
For those interested the Linux module that needed to be loaded was the “ip_contrak_ftp” module with the command “modprobe ip_contrak_ftp” which is already in my “/etc/rc.local” file so that when the system boots its loaded automatically.
What had happened was that I had had installed SSL certificates on my system and needed to add the port used by them into the iptables Linux firewall. I did this using the program Webmin.
What I failed to do after adding SSL access to the firewall and applying the settings was to restart the “ip_contrak_ftp” module that I use for ftp access through the firewall. This “ip_contrak_ftp” module is not brought up after stopping and starting iptables Linux firewall manually it seems since it’s a module.
I will chalk that up as one to remember or I may just add ftp in the file with the other firewall settings. I would have to use Webmin or the CLI (command line interface) so that it is placed in the firewall table in /etc/sysconfig/ directory since it’s not recommended to manually edit those files. That way manual manipulation of the firewall will not affect ftp.
I made the SSL changes about 26 hours ago so that has been the length of the issue.
What this means is that the songs playing on this page are now updating properly so hit your browser refresh and track the music you are listening to!
