CSF problems on fresh CloudLinux 7.7 with cPanel

[clickright]

Hi, I always install CSF on CloudLinux 7 + cPanel (Centos 7 + cPanel + Cloud Linux) and it works perfectly. But today I was setting up a new server and found that after installing CSF, the lfd service is failing to start.

I've tried restarting CSF and LFD trough SSH and WHM and no success.

When checking LFD status I get this:

Code: Select all

lfd.service - ConfigServer Firewall & Security - lfd
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lfd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: signal) since Wed 2019-12-04 14:15:55 EST; 3min 6s ago
  Process: 8095 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lfd (code=killed, signal=KILL)

Dec 04 14:15:55 srv systemd[1]: Starting ConfigServer Firewall & Security - lfd...
Dec 04 14:15:55 srv systemd[1]: lfd.service: control process exited, code=killed status=9
Dec 04 14:15:55 srv systemd[1]: Failed to start ConfigServer Firewall & Security - lfd.
Dec 04 14:15:55 srv systemd[1]: Unit lfd.service entered failed state.
Dec 04 14:15:55 srv systemd[1]: lfd.service failed.

Edit:

That error is expected, since the CSF was in TESTING MODE. After setting TESTING = Off, I was not able to run lfd.

So I tried to reboot the server and when it booted up lfd was up and running. When I check the "lfd status" in the CSF interface, I got this:

Code: Select all

Dec 05 07:14:27 srv lfd[3189]: SYSLOG check [37vsYmdJ4KXorq2Qt1D86QA54e]

In other servers I have, I get only this message:

Code: Select all

Status of lfd: Running

Is the first message ok? That is the expected "status"? This means everything is running good?

Thank you!
