Thread: FW port number

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

		I'd like to know what's the port number to allow in our 
firewall for PHP weather to work.
Could you confirm that it's port number 3128, could someone confirm.

Thx.
Yann.

Hi Yann,

If you need to allow a hole in a firewall, it'll be port 80, for the http
connection. If you're using a proxy, then it depends. 3128 is the default
for squid.

Look at the configuration for phpweather, is it set to use a proxy? If so,
you need to allow whatever port it's set to to whatever machine it's set to.

If not, you need to allow connections to port 80 on weather.noaa.gov from
any port >1024 locally.

All PHP Weather does is to access files via HTTP. This normally uses
port 80. But if you're using a proxyserver, then you have to connect
to that on some other port - Squid uses 3128 but I've seen others use
8080.

If you're able to browse the net without using a proxy, then PHP
Weather should also be able to function without any special settings.
