NethServer Version: v7
Module: Fail2ban
I have just installed the nethserver-fail2ban module.
But it doesn’t start. I tried to start the service from the server manager but it doesn’t start…
The command # fail2ban-client status produces
WARNING 'socket' not defined in 'Definition'. Using default one: '/var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock'
WARNING 'pidfile' not defined in 'Definition'. Using default one: '/var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.pid'
ERROR Failed to access socket path: /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock. Is fail2ban running?
When I created an file “fail2ban.sock” manually in that folder the last line changes to
ERROR Unable to contact server. Is it running?
The installation however seems to be all right… When I type config show fail2ban all jails are listed and I have also access to the GUI… but when I change something in the GUI it shows me an error message
However the changes are applied nevertheless…
It only does not start…
Any ideas?
