Firewall Status: Enabled but Stopped

Post by TeaCii »

My Server is:
CENTOS 6.4 x86_64 vmware – server
WHM 11.38.1 (build 15)

CSF just upgrade to ConfigServer Security & Firewall - csf v6.26

Since then, I have a peculiar problem. In WHM CSF status is Enabled but Stopped
I can start it. It shows everything is fine. 5 minutes later it say Enabled but Stopped.

Before the upgrade, it was running fine. No new changes. No error messages. The best part is that it is running. So the message is somehow faulty in WHM.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you for the effort.

That would mean that something is flushing iptables on a regular basis. Check that TESTING mode is not enabled in csf.conf and then check all your cron jobs on the server for something flushing iptables. If on a Virtuozzo/OpenVZ VPS make sure it is not running out of numiptent.
