Title: Firewall does not get enabled in CentOS8 install of CWP
Post by: rkhyd on August 27, 2021, 01:48:11 AM: I have installed CWP on CentOS8. The firewall is not getting enabled.
When i run the commands to enable from the terminal, i get below errors.

Code: [Select]
[root@server ~]# csf -x; csf -e *Error* The path to iptables is either not set or incorrect for IPTABLES [/sbin/iptables] in /etc/csf/csf.conf at /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/URLGet.pm line 26. Compilation failed in require at /sbin/csf line 21. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /sbin/csf line 21. *Error* The path to iptables is either not set or incorrect for IPTABLES [/sbin/iptables] in /etc/csf/csf.conf at /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/URLGet.pm line 26. Compilation failed in require at /sbin/csf line 21. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /sbin/csf line 21.Any idea on how to fix them?
Cheers

I have installed CWP on CentOS8. The firewall is not getting enabled.

It's because iptables isn't installed.

Just run this command:

Code: [Select]
yum install iptables

Post by: overseer on March 07, 2025, 09:20:42 PM: You will with CentOS 8 Stream. Better to ELevate to AlmaLinux or start fresh with AlmaLinux 8 or 9.

Post by: Starburst on March 09, 2025, 07:15:33 AM: What does line 21 and 26 say in /etc/csf/csf.conf?

CentOS 8 EOL happened long ago.
It's dead.

You want to run either AlmaLinux 8 or 9 for CWP.

Post by: JM_Stoorvogel on March 13, 2025, 01:51:55 PM: The same issues here on AlmaLinux 8. Had to manually install iptables and ConfigServer.

The anti spam measures on this forum have a higher quality than the product itself unfortunately...

Post by: JM_Stoorvogel on March 13, 2025, 01:58:33 PM: Nevermind.

Don't install firewalld or mask it.

install iptables and bind-tools and run csf -r

Where is the guide please? Just ran a new install today and the Firewall is still disabled. Everything else is fine
