- First, log in to your server as root.
- Edit the csf configuration file using the following command:
vi /etc/csf/csf.conf

# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = “20,21,22,25,26,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995, 2077,2078,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,28900,2896 0,28970,28860,49030,3333” - Add the port no 3306 for mysql in this line.
