Linux – Port not accessible on Linux server

iptableslinuxport

I started local server using php on my server

php -S 0.0.0.0 8283 -t testServer/

using curl localhost:8283 I am able to get the result of the index.php file

but when I access it using my server ip I am not able to access that port .

Any when I do netstat -tuplen . I can see that port as well .

How can I make port 8283 available through http request ?

I have used this

# /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8283 -j ACCEPT
# service iptables save
# service iptables restart

and still it did not work

And this is output from telnet on my server

telnet XX.XX.X.XXX 8283
Trying XX.XX.X.XXX...

Escape character is '^]'.
GET /

HTTP/0.9 200 OK

this one is from my PC

telnet XX.XX.X.XXX 8283
Trying XX.XX.X.XXX...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

Your localhost parameter to the -S option is telling PHP to only listen to localhost, or 127.0.0.1. If you want it available externally, you need to use either the external IP address / hostname or "0.0.0.0", though a quick read through the manual page doesn't explicitly indicate 0.0.0.0 will work.
