firewall appears disabled in cwp panel

but csf is working correctly

[root@s3 services]# csf -e
csf and lfd are not disabled!

[root@s3 services]# csf -e
csf and lfd are not disabled!

Try toggling it on/off/on in the web GUI -- sometimes it gets out of sync with the actual CSF reality (a bug).

SSH into the server, and from the CLI:

csf -e, if working you should see what you are "csf and lfd are not disabled!"
That's a good thing.

Then run:

Code: [Select]

systemctl start csf

Code: [Select]

systemctl start lfd

Code: [Select]

systemctl enable csf

Code: [Select]

systemctl enable lfd
Some system are weird.

Log back into CWP, and it should show as 'On' now.

I have tried to install a new server with Almalinux 9
So, in a fresh installation same problem. But it is not important, only affects cwp panel

Code: [Select]

[root@s3 almalinux]# csf -e
csf and lfd are not disabled!
[root@s3 almalinux]#
[root@s3 almalinux]#
[root@s3 almalinux]# systemctl start csf
[root@s3 almalinux]# systemctl start lfd
[root@s3 almalinux]# systemctl enable csf
[root@s3 almalinux]# systemctl enable lfd

And you've rebooted? Sometimes it takes a full reboot to get itself sorted out! :P
