*Lock Error* [PT_INTERVAL] still active - section skipped

[byronthree]

Hello,

I have used CSF on quite a few VPS machines. However, I am seeing this error in the lfd.log every few minutes:

*Lock Error* [PT_INTERVAL] still active - section skipped

The error occurs for LF_DIRWATCH as well.

I have tried to increase the intervals, but the error still occurs (I did do a restart). Oddly, I use almost the same configuration on every server and I have not seen this error before. Any suggestions? Can't seem to find anything on this through a forum search or Google search.

I might have figured it out, and while working this I have noticed that there does not seem to be much support through these forums based on no responses on other questions from users who posted eons ago. Anyway, I hope this may help someone in the future, csf has a lot of dependencies that are not listed in the install.txt. I thought I knew most of them, but I guess I've ran across a few others through this error. I will try to get a list and post it here. For starters:

yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

I do not know which file is needed by csf yet, but I'll figure it out... whatever it is, I am no longer having issues. (I will verify this after watching the log for a bit longer)

I had the same issue, solved with your hint, after a deep read of lfd.log I found which was the missing program: unzip. My vps was installed with the minimum of software required to work and unzip wasn't present, after installing it (through
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools') and doing a lfd restart everything was fine.
Thanks for your hint.

Edit:
After I updated packages -that are needed for my server- using webmin, the following errors stopped. I didn't something else.

-----------------------------------

I've encountered same errors like the following. I'm try to understand why these errors logged. Now I saw your posts. I may try your solution on ubuntu by installing packages step by step. Thanks..
