Title: xtables lock
Post by: pixelpadre on June 18, 2017, 04:22:13 PM

I cannot start stop or restart csf.

Error:Another app is currently holding the xtables lock.

Is there a way to uninstall csf and reinstall?  I cannot update until error is addressed.

I still have CSF locked up.   Is there anyway I can uninstall then reinstall to get it back running again.

Also since certbot doesnt work in shell, what shell command is valid?

You have to make sure all the services are running both csf and lfd.

If they are not running try to reboot them if not check status and which error message you are getting and where it coming from then try to sort the source of the error and try to reboot again.

If you are not sure please provide some screenshot, remember to cover sensitive data.

You can uninstall by using the following command on your own server.

Code: [Select]

cd /etc/csf
sh uninstall.sh

To install it you will need to do the following steps here https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-and-configure-csf-config-server-firewall-on-centos-7/ (https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-and-configure-csf-config-server-firewall-on-centos-7/)

Let me know if you experience any problem.

Its happening on two different servers. Sometimes the CSF is green and sometimes its red.  At the moment its green and still has the warning message.  This is very problematic and buggy. I guess there is not way to upload a pic.

I too had the same concern a month ago but I soon after contacted the service.
