Cannot seem to get the GUI working

[b9313]

I'm running the latest csf on CentOS 6.5 with no control panel, and I'd like to use the csf gui. Reading through the readme.txt though, it appears that I may not be able to - is the gui *only* for those with supported control panels (cpanel, etc)?

I've tried setting up the UI options in csf.conf but it won't let me even access a login page for it, so I'm wondering if it's because I don't use a control panel...

First, check whether the UI is actually running:

Code: Select all

ps axf | grep lfd

There should be a sub process to lfd called "lfd UI". If that is not running, check /var/log/lfd.log for why.

If it is running, the most important step is to remember to add your connecting IP address to /etc/csf/ui/ui.allow

My IP is in ui.allow but the process does not appear to be running and lfd.log doesn't have any information as to why (no entries in that log within the past hour). I did note an error in that log earlier today before I posted - it indicated that I needed a perl SSL library installed. I installed that via yum and restarted csf. The lfd.log then indicated that the UI was running. I cleared that log with '> lfd.log' after that though, so I don't have a record of that exact perl library I had to install.

#ps axf | grep lfd
