CSF Check Server Security returns blank page

[medieja]

Hi there,

I'm having some difficulties with my ConfigServer Security & Firewall installation. Installing and starting CSF went without any problems and the firewall is enabled and running, so far so good.

The only thing that isn't working is the so called Check Server Security option. Clicking on it from the homescreen of CSF in DirectAdmin returns a blank page and only shows the CSF logo and version.

I tried reinstalling CSF which didn't make a difference. I checked /var/log/directadmin/error.log but I can't find any error related to CSF. Is there anybody who has run into a similar issue and could help me out?

I'm kinda stuck and hopefully somebody could point me in the right direction so I can fix this issue

Kind regards,

medieja

Have you protected your perl executable like suggested here (item 14)?:

Hi Richard,

No I didn't. And besides I'm running Nginx instead of Apache so I suppose that step doesn't apply to me? Or should I replace apache with nginx? So

chgrp apache /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/wget /usr/local/bin/wget /usr/local/bin/curl /usr/bin/curl /usr/bin/python

becomes

chgrp nginx /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/wget /usr/local/bin/wget /usr/local/bin/curl /usr/bin/curl /usr/bin/python

Kind regards,

medieja

Hi Medieja.

No I only know of a "white page" issue when perl rights were changed. But now I'm thinking about it, when that was the case, there were more pages white when using CSF in Directadmin.
I don't know why it's only at the check server security part.

I hope somebody else has a clue and can help you with that. If not you might try the CSF support forums, sometimes they know too.

I have the same. Also using Nginx.
It would be nice if it worked. But not really a big deal for me.

but I have this in php.ini

disable_functions = "passthru,shell_exec,eval,popen,exec,dl,show_source"

Let me know if I have to check anything.

It might be related to nginx in that case, because I have this in my php.ini:

disable_functions = dl,passthru,escapeshellarg,escapeshellcmd,proc_close,proc_open,show_source

and I have no problems. However I don't use nginx.
