After installing ispconfig, fail2ban stopped working, it starts but, 4302 pts/0 00:00:00 fail2ban-client 4303 pts/0 00:00:00 fail2ban-server <defunct> This is a fresh install on a new hard drive. 1. OpenSuse 11.1, the perfect server setup with Kde 4 2. Online update 3. postgrey 4. fail2ban 5. ispconfig 6. phpmyadmin 7. UebiMiau I installed everything up to fail2ban and it was all working. Then after installing ispconfig, I noticed fail2ban was not working. I tried uninstall, reinstall fail2ban, didn't help. I use yast for the installs. I tried shutting down almost all the services, then uninstall, install, start, but still no luck. There is nothing going into the logs when I start it. I tried strace, and I don't see anything wrong there. The uninstall, install puts back the default config file, so it can't be that. Any ideas?? Should I go back to OpenSuse 10.3? Does anyone have this working? OpenSuse 11.1 fail2ban ispconfig ??
fixed it I got it working, I'm so happy! There was something wrong with the fail2ban.sock file, so I ran fail2ban-server -x then it started working again. I don't think ispconfig had anything to do with fail2ban not working, it just looked that way at the time.
