Linkpoint connection error 7 - couldnt connect to host

Hi all,

I'm currently using a virtual private server with zencart 1.3.9h installed. I have an SSL Cert and working and I've verified that cURL and PHP work. here is my own curl testing php (couldnt find this CURLTESTER.PHP file that I've read about on here??) http://draftrite.com/testcurl.php

However, I can't seem to connect to FirstData.

This is the error log:

Communication Result: 7 - couldn't connect to host
CURL info: Array
(
    [url] => https://secure.linkpt.net:1129/LSGSXML
    [http_code] => 0
    [header_size] => 0
    [request_size] => 0
    [filetime] => -1

    [starttransfer_time] => 0
    [redirect_time] => 0
)

Using CURL Proxy: [proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128]  with Proxy Tunnel: Off

in bash how do I know if 1129 is open? I've used these commands to open it:

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1129 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1129 -j ACCEPT

Is something wrong with that?

Also, is there a CURLTESTER.php I can download somewhere?

Please help! Thanks!

Admin->Configuration->My Store-> CURL Proxy Status ---- set it to false. It should never have been set to true in the first place.

That solved the problem! Thank you :)
