    To test any TCP port’s connectivity, check this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Usually if SSL ports are enabled, their non-SSL counterpart ports can be disabled or blocked by the firewalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Desktop access includes Asset Browser, Repository Browser, Zoom plugins, Client Proxy, and EZ client installer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Web access includes Web Asset Browser and Web Client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    1. Edit<\/span> the IPTABLES<\/span> by typing the following:
      $ nano \/etc\/sysconfig\/iptables<\/code><\/li>
    2. Append<\/span> following code to open the ports for Zoom:
      $ nano \/etc\/sysconfig\/iptables<\/code><\/li>
    3. Add<\/span> the following to the file:
      -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT<\/code>
      -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8443 -j ACCEPT<\/code>
      -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8880 -j ACCEPT<\/code>
      -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8873 -j ACCEPT<\/code><\/li>
    4. On the keyboard<\/span>, hit<\/span> Ctrl<\/span>+X<\/span> to close the document.<\/li>
    5. To save the document, hit<\/span> Y<\/span> and Enter<\/span> on your keyboard<\/span>.<\/li>
    6. Restart the iptables service:
      $ service iptables restart<\/code><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/a>Install Zoom Package<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Moving Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      1. Make sure you sudo or log into the evolphin zoom user account. Assuming the account is evolphin<\/span> <\/span>(could be evolphin <\/span>or whatever Zoom service user you created in the previous step):
        $ sudo su - evolphin<\/code><\/li>
      2. Copy<\/span> the Linux server distribution, zoom*.tar.bz2<\/span> installation file to a preferred folder such as \/home\/evolphin <\/span>on the Zoom Server. The rest of the instructions assume the installation folder is \/home\/evolphin\/<\/span>, this is not required, you can use any preferred folder.<\/li>
      3. Make sure you are NOT a root<\/span> user at this point:
        $ whoami<\/code>
        evolphin<\/code><\/li>
      4. Verify <\/span>the md5sum is the same from the properties file and md5sum output\n

        $ grep md5 *.properties; md5sum zoom-server-linux64.tar.bz2<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Extract Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        1. Extract<\/span> the *.tar.bz2<\/span> into the \/home\/evolphin\/<\/span> directory using the command shown below.\n
          If you get the error as shown below the command, you will need to install bzip2<\/div>\n

           <\/p>\n

          $ tar -jxvf zoom-server-linux64.tar.bz2
          \n <\/code><\/div>\n

           <\/p>\n

          tar (child):bzip2: Cannot exec :Nosuch of file or directory<\/code><\/div>\n
          tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exitng now<\/code><\/div>\n
          tar: Child returned status 2<\/code><\/div>\n
          tar:Error is not recoverable: exiting now<\/code><\/div>\n<\/li>
        2. The folder you extracted into, will now be the Zoom home directory, [zoomDirectory]<\/span>.<\/li>
        3. Exit<\/strong> and switch back<\/strong> to the root user or do the following command.\n

          $ sudo su -<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>

        4. Ensure<\/strong> the ownership for the zoom<\/span> folder is with the evolphin<\/span> user:
          [root@rhel6 zoom]# ls -ald .\/zoom<\/code>
          drwxrwxr-x. 13 evolphin evolphin 4096 Dec 2 16:06 .\/zoom<\/code><\/li>
        5. Change the ownership<\/span> for the zoom<\/span> folder to evolphin<\/i><\/span> user if you accidentally<\/em> extracted as root:
          $ chown -R evolphin \/home\/evolphin\/zoom<\/code><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Set up Init Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          1. Make a copy<\/span> of the init.d<\/span> scripts for Zoom and Preview Server from [zoomDirectory]\/bin<\/span> by typing the following command:
            $ cp \/home\/evolphin\/zoom\/bin\/zoom_init.d.sh \/etc\/init.d\/zoom<\/code>
            $ cp \/home\/evolphin\/zoom\/bin\/preview-server_init.d.sh \/etc\/init.d\/preview-server <\/code>\n
