Cannot access Ajenti on port 8000

Does Apache take up the port 8000? You can check that by running:

sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 8000

If so, you can either reconfigure Apache (ports.conf) to use different port or change Ajenti port in /etc/ajenti/config.json

what's the directory of config.json ? where do i find it ?

<< THIS !!

I know this is a year old but I wanted to thank you. It was the only thing that worked. Ajenti never even hinted this was needed during install, so I would have probably given up on it. Thanks!

ufw allow 8000

Worked thanks!

ajenti-panel -v

SSLError: [SSL: HTTP_REQUEST] http request (_ssl.c:581)

def get_server_certificate(addr, ssl_version=PROTOCOL_SSLv3, ca_certs=None)

def get_server_certificate(addr, ssl_version=PROTOCOL_SSLv23, ca_certs=None)

service ajenti restart

deb http://repo.ajenti.org/debian main main debian

-            ctx = SSLContext(ssl_version)
+            ctx = __ssl__.SSLContext(ssl_version)

Thank you! This worked for my server running Debian 8.2 (jessie)

Thank you! This is the only fix that worked for me on Debian 8.0 (jessie)

Wow 2 years after the thread was started here there is still the bug. Left a bad taste in my mouth right out of the box. Logged in once and then during connection changed password. A few minutes later it stopped working. Really? Looked nice while it lasted. Going to debug and see if it starts working but not a good thing to start out with.

I wonder why the panel can't work just right after installation. Why should I install lots of extra-packets for Python?

I can't still open the panel anyway.

I am more or less a newby.

Now, after an update/upgrade by using recommended update I got the same error.

After searching and trying out the things which are posted here the problem still persisits.

I access ajenti by https://myserverip:8000. It plays no role if I use 0.0.0.0 or myserverip. the problem is still the same.

I use ubuntu 14.04 LTS trusty.

Outpup for sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 8000
tcp 0 0 myserverip:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20381/python

ajenti-panel -V gives following output:

core.py:121 ERROR Could not bind to (u'myserverip', 8000)

after killing 20381 I get following with ajenti-panel -V:

26.02.2016 08:55 feedback.py:35 DEBUG Feedback << {"status": "ok"}

After try to access ajenti I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):

python-pip and passlib are also installed.

Any Idea/ help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! Heinz

Same problem here.

Same problem on Ajenti 1.2.23.6 and Ubuntu Server 12.04.5

Solved in issue: https://github.com/ajenti/ajenti/issues/886

Look this issue https://github.com/ajenti/ajenti/issues/886

Today I got an additional update for ajenti. This fixed the problem for me.

The Version which fixed the problem for me was 1.2.23.7

Thank you all.

did you try "https://localhost:8000"

During the installation of Ajenti software noted a problem accessing the web interface at https potocolo , the problem has been solved by editing the following file into the server " /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gevent/ssl .py " . In this file on line number 84, the following information was exchanged :

of: ctx = SSLContext ( SSL_VERSION )

by: ctx = __ __ssl SSLContext ( SSL_VERSION ) .

Before this exchange made a backup of the original file that is stored at the following address :

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gevent/BKP.ssl.py

After editing the information restarted the service application that has to respond with support for SSL

This was pretty easy to fix for my needs. If you can use LetsEncrypt, as not all SSL is created equal... Simply go through the process of getting yourself a cert from LetsEncrypt. Then collapse the key and cert, like so:

cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem >> /etc/ajenti/le_ajenti.cert
cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem >> /etc/ajenti/le_ajenti.cert

~ Next edit the Ajenti configuration file:

vi /etc/ajenti/config.json

~ Now, point to your newly created cert within the config and then restart ye' ole' Ajenti service and you're back in business.

systemctl restart ajenti

And donezo!

Don't Worry Guyz.. Here is a Pay_Back Time, Follow this : -

After Automatic Installation, from Ajenti Homepage ..

Type this command from your Terminal - ajenti-panel

Now Your pannel is runnig ..

go to your browser and type - https://yourip:8000

Now except risk Allow port and tada .. login page open ..

login with root credentials and Enjoy..

Any feedback or help contact me on - thebeatlessaj on Facebook ..

Thanks.. !! :-p

Restart Ajenti !!!

I just registered to say f**k this s**t. 
Time to try ISPconfig or return to Plesk. 

Run the command below, it worked for me. Taken from the troubleshoot page

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT

Tried everything and the only thing that works for me here is using ISPconfig

Insane. This is STILL a problem. I know this is free, so I'm not complaining, but if people are still bothering to develop this thing, it really doesn't make a good first impression when you have to hack the default install to get it to work, especially for a bug that has lasted half a decade.

Hi guys. I found same issue but that message that can't bind to port and ip it's not a ip address issue (in fact 0.0.0.0 address is any address so it's fine). In ajenti logs I found a SSLEOF error certificate and like in other ajenti threads managing that error, they replied that was a gevent python module, I tried to update as they told in that link and ajenti stopped working because it was calling functions defined in updated module, also I tried to update it to newest gevent version with pip and also same issue, in both cases I had to reinstall virtual machine through image. I found the solution, although I don't discard stops working from time to time because of SSL certificate bad format. I changed  /etc/ajenti/config.json setting 

"SSL":{enabled:false, ...}, restarted ajenti but instead of connecting panel sending root password in plain text, I entered again in  /etc/ajenti/config.json and set "SSL":{ enabled:true, ... } and restarted ajenti again and it worked!!! By the way, I don't know if it's in this thread or another ajenti panel thread but python process listening in 8000 port is the own ajenti application, if you change ajenti port you will see that python process listening in the new configured port.

I hope someone can use this to fix if has same issue.

Same problem.

Cant connect to admin panel with 8000 port
