Firewall does not get enabled in CentOS8 install of CWP

[rkhyd]

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 Expand


[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.

Any idea on how to fix them?

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 Expand

yum install iptables

I've installed iptables, and firewall wont enable

Do you get some errors ?

You will with CentOS 8 Stream. Better to ELevate to AlmaLinux or start fresh with AlmaLinux 8 or 9.

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.

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...

[JM_Stoorvogel]

Nevermind.

Don't install firewalld or mask it.

install iptables and bind-tools and run csf -r

If only someone posted (several times) a guide for AL8/9 that had all this...

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

@Purelaise if you still are having problems, Send me a PM, I can login after you do a fresh install of AL8 and get this setup for you.
