HOWTO: CSF Firewall + LFD Login Failure Daemon

[smtalk]

Have you tried a fresh install?

rm -fv csf.tgz
wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

 

[rsbenedict]

I haven't tried that, but won't that remove all my config files?

And the default theme is the enhanced theme. Is that the one you're referring to?

THAT did actually do the trick. Thanks Martynas (and Chirpy!)

 

[PRB]

The fresh install worked here too, thanks.

 

[rsbenedict]

Okay, I've done a fresh install, and I see it in the plugin manager, but I don't have a link in the admin interface. Did I do something wrong?

Try changing DA skin.

 

[rsbenedict]

It worked with one of my servers but not the other (fresh install not change skin).

I'm going to try fresh install on second server again to see if it kicks it in.

 

[rsbenedict]

reinstalled and it worked on second server!

 

[chirpy]

I'll have a fix out for the csf update procedure in a short while.

 

[chirpy]

I've released v4.51 which fixes the bug in csf --update (csf -u) for the DA installations.

- Login as root
- cd /etc/csf 
- type "for file in *.txt ; do nano $file -w ; done" in the shell

Then you must edit all files (.txt) and change the email address.

Safe and restart csf/lfd

Thank you, I do not think that everything is just ...
A good firewall, only little information on the setup.

I'm a real newbie. I just installed per your recommendations and made your recommended changes, however once I turn it on, it blocks all http access. What did I do wrong. Right now, I turned it off so I have access and my sites are accessible. I've installed it on a VPS with DA.

Thanks!

Paste your 'TCP_IN', 'TCP_OUT', 'UDP_IN', 'UDP_OUT'. Maybe you have removed port 80

Regarding to this:

[I]Warning: The Latest version of CSF does not work properly with DirectAdmin on CentOS 5 machines with Apache 2+[/I]

How is this actualy? Is it working fine on this moment? I would like to install csf, but would like to know if there are actual issues with CentOs 5.2 (64bit) and Apache 2+

 

[littleoak]

Spyder01,

That warning no longer applies. In fact, ConfigServer now supports DirectAdmin with a custom user interface that is now automatically installed when you install CSF.

Anyone here having experience with CSF, I installed CSF and it just do not block IP of SYN flood node.
I even set CT_LIMIT = 100 which is pretty low but even then no gain..

Basically I need to save my server from some lame using software like doshttp to do DOS on my server !!

 

[ASTRAPI]

Does the newest csf works with direct admin and centos latest using this tutorial?

 

[smtalk]

Just do the following and you will have it installed:

wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

 

[ikillbill]

Hi

thanks for this good how-to

my box is centOS5+Apache2

I see your warning about this, is this still the same?

I did a manual install, no errors overall and start CSF from SSH

However, I could not see a CSF link on DA interface

I saw some people said manual install fixed, but not working here

 

[ASTRAPI]

I can see it at direct panel but it effect my second vps also and when i ping my ip is ok but not for my domain and when i run ifconfig in my working ip reports:

Quote:
HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
?

My vps that i was try to install the csf is working only my second vps doesn't (both ip and domain).
