New iMac owner here. I need to open port 2086 to run whm under cpanel. Since the app is really server-based, I'm not sure how to open this port. Any help for this noob would be greatly appreciated. OS X 10.6

Where are you running CPanel and Apache? On your iMac or elsewhere?

cpanel and apache are on the remote vps server (inmotion). I'm accessing from my iMac via Firefox 3.6.13

Are you using a router to firewall you from the Internet or are you directly connected to your cable/DSL/Internet modem?

If you are using a router, you can add a firewall rule there to forward traffic on 2086 to your Mac. You'll have to use static IP addresses to make this work.

I've never heard about having to open a port to access cPanel.

@schweb - it's not for cpanel; it's for WHM within cpanel

@Raz0rEdge - I'm accessing the server using the verizon mi-fi card
