    Weird error.

    Ispconfig 3.0.2.2
    Debian lenny

    Fail2ban installed but I get this message on control pannel:

    fail2ban is not installed at this server.
    See more (for debian) here...

    # ps -A | grep fail
    4337 ? 00:02:03 fail2ban-server

    # ls -la /var/log | grep "fail"

    # which fail2ban-client
    /usr/bin/fail2ban-client

    I reload fail2ban and now I get this:

    # /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
    Restarting authentication failure monitor: fail2ban failed!

    where can I check??

    Take a look in the syslog.

    Take a look at the syslog and if there is a fail2ban log, check this too.

    What exactly have you done before the monitor stopped working and how is this related to cubecells thread that you added your question to?

    @cubecells: these answers are not related to your problem.

    @007007:

    Most likely the databse dont get filled as the server is not able to find the mysql serveranymore to insert the data which caused by the wrong dns record. As this affects most likely also the process that writes the data to disk, then your dns changes have not been removed yet as the access to the mysql databse is blocked.

    What you can try is to stop the local dns server for a few minutes and wait. Hopefully the system is able to connect then to mysql gaian and so update the records and rewrite the dns.

    ok, the solution is the stop dns with this command :

    /etc/init.d/mydns stop

    and wait, after :

    /etc/init.d/mydns start

    yes ?
