Default How to open a port

Hello,
I have a linux fedora core website.
I need to know how to open a port for a scipt to work
I don't have a firewall installed in the server and i looked into etc/sysconfig for iptables. All i can find is iptables_config and ip6tables_config
So what should i do to enable a port?.
Thank you
Regards
Fed

Following command will tell you more about iptables
Code:
iptables -L -n
To open port you need to
a) start service such as httpd will open port 80
b) write your own code in c / c++ / php / perl etc and open port using programming call
c) use xinetd to open port

let me know what you are trying to do ...
