Hello, I cannot get a clean install of CSF. Prior to the install I disabled UFW Firewall ( apt remove ufw). All of my install attempts yield the same error: Apr 08 23:05:02 servername.server.com systemd[1]: Starting csf.service - ConfigServer Firewall & Security - csf... Apr 08 23:05:02 servername.server.com csf[610]: csf and lfd have been disabled, use 'csf -e' to enable Apr 08 23:05:02 servername.server.com systemd[1]: csf.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Apr 08 23:05:02 servername.server.com systemd[1]: csf.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Apr 08 23:05:02 servername.server.com systemd[1]: Failed to start csf.service - ConfigServer Firewall & Security - csf. Thanks for any help! Tom
I do not know what CSF is or what it does, but the log entries state: Code: csf and lfd have been disabled, use 'csf -e' to enable Have you tried that?
Hi Taleman! CSF is security software ConfigServer Firewall. A Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, Login/Intrusion Detection and Security application for Linux servers. And yes I tried enabling csf (csf -e) but that did not successfully resolve the above issue.
Check the logfile of the software to get further information. The file should be located at "/var/log/lfd.log". If this is a fresh install you might need to disable testing mode. On a side note: This is not the correct forum as csf is not part of ISPConfig at all.
