In the ISPConfig web interface I see the following: fail2ban is not installed at this server. See more (for debian) here... fail2ban is installed on the server... [root@server1 tmp]# service fail2ban restart Stopping fail2ban: [ OK ] Starting fail2ban: [ OK ] [root@server1 tmp]# locate fail2ban.log /var/log/fail2ban.log [root@server1 tmp]# ls -al /var/log/fail2ban.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 04:23 /var/log/fail2ban.log madunix
Does Code: which fail2ban-client or Code: which fail2ban show any output? If not, what's the name of the fail2ban program on your system?
[root@server1 config]# which fail2ban /usr/bin/which: no fail2ban in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) [root@server1 config]# which fail2ban-client /usr/bin/fail2ban-client
ISPConfig checks Code: which fail2ban-client and then Code: which fail2ban if the first command doesn't work, so it *should* be working for you. Is SELinux disabled?
