Server Status Problem

[Foob]

Alright here's the catch. I've search already the problem for this and it turns out it is port problem due to blocked outgoing ports to check server ports such as 6900. 6121 and  the other one.

Is there an alternative way to check server status? I can accept by changing the image but that's my last resort.

1. So is there a way for GoDaddy shared webhosting to accept to open ports? Even just 3 ports? I actually changed my ports. 

2. Is it possible to create a PHP script that will check ping? or rather any other alternative solution just to check if the server is online. I hate seeing offline in my webpage.

 

Regards!

There's a few different solutions. You could run a lightweight webserver on your vps that has php to check ports and report back to your site via Cron, or you could move to a provider that doesn't block ports on their webserver, or you could host your site on your vps.

Other than that you'll struggle.

What is Cron? Unfotunately not knowledgeable with VPS setup for that PHP. So I'll struggle lol.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

about open port, you surely need to ask godaddy about this, only they can open the port, normally shared webhost will only open full apache port only, unless you request.

if youre seeing offline in your page, means, your webserver <-> emulator server is closed, either configure your emulator/web server to accept those connection by adding the IP of your webserver/emulator to your webserver/emulator server firewall iptables.

about php that check your ping, i think its already alot on google.

its because godaddy blocking those ports.. u need to ask them open 3 ports that u need .

GoDaddy doesn't open ports on their shared hosting platform.

i didnt use godaddy hosting, but just telling you that hostgator can open ports on their shared hosting.

I already have this issue a few years before and solved by opening 3 ports that I used to check server status

Just run your webhost at any vps. Then boom!
