Hello I`m trying out ISPConfig 3, after running ISPConfig 2 for some years. When installing I used Falcos TPS guide for CentOS 5.4 When trying to access fail2ban log in ISPConfig I get this message "fail2ban is not installed at this server." I have verified that fail2ban is running ( /etc/init.d/fail2ban status Fail2ban (pid 30663) is running...). What might be the problem?
Please run these commands on your system as root user: Code: PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin . /etc/profile which fail2ban and post the output. The fail2ban binary has to be installed within the path above. If you installed it in another path, create a symlink. Also make sure that your fail2ban is working properly and writes its log file to /var/log/fail2ban.log which is the default location for all redhat based systems.
Code: /usr/bin/which: no fail2ban in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) Fail2ban is installed via yum. Notting was written in the fail2ban log. I enabled a few rules and tested. After the log file was populated it works. But when I added pure-ftpd to fail2ban, it won`t start. I added this in jail.conf Code: [pure-ftpd] enabled = true port = ftp filter = pure-ftpd logpath = /var/log/messages maxretry = 3 The pure-ftpd.conf file was already in filter.d directory. And it seems fine Code: # Fail2Ban configuration file # # Author: Cyril Jaquier # Modified: Yaroslav Halchenko for pure-ftpd # # $Revision: 3$ # [Definition] # Error message specified in multiple languages __errmsg = (?:Authentication failed for user|Erreur d'authentification pour l'utilisateur) # # Option: failregex # Notes.: regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The # host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can # be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for # (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>\S+) # Values: TEXT # failregex = pure-ftpd(?:\[\d+\])?: (.+?@<HOST>) \[WARNING\] %(__errmsg)s \[.+\]$ # Option: ignoreregex # Notes.: regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored. # Values: TEXT # ignoreregex = Any idea why it won`t start after adding pure-ftpd to jail.conf?
Search the location of the fail2ban binary on your system and the make a symlink to it in one off the directories that belong to the system path.
fail2ban is not installed at this server. having this problem with centos 5.5 64 bit & ispconfig 3.0.3.1 followed the perfect server guide for this setup and ispconfig 3 looks like fail2ban binary is not in my path. [root@srv1 memcache-2.2.6]# which fail2ban-client /usr/bin/fail2ban-client [root@srv1 memcache-2.2.6]# which fail2ban /usr/bin/which: no fail2ban in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) my problem is, i don't know what the "fail2ban binary" is. is it one of the files below? /usr/bin/fail2ban-client /usr/bin/fail2ban-regex /usr/bin/fail2ban-server thanks in advance for any help with this.
CentOS release 5.6 (Final) This worked for me: Code: ln -s /usr/bin/fail2ban-client /usr/bin/fail2ban
