Security Error: Invalid parent ERROR in DirectAdmin

Post by needhelppp »

Hi. When I try to open my ConfigServer firewall from plugins list (Extra features) in DirectAdmin. I get this error:

```
ConfigServer Security & Firewall

Security Error: Invalid parent
Information saved to [/var/lib/csf/da1644943308.error]
```

I looked at that error file and found this (IP ommited):

```
[root@alpha ~]# cat /var/lib/csf/da1644928660.error
To disable DirectAdmin session checks, create a touch file called /var/lib/csf/csf.da.skip

Security Error: Invalid parent

Session ID = [wANWUGvNtnfuzc2Cb2oGuX54ADwZD5ZAEueg8X11KetHGtTqwF6qm9uxKpUYs1g4]
Session File [/usr/local/directadmin/data/sessions/da_sess_wANWUGvNtnfuzc2Cb2oGuX54ADwZD5ZAEueg8X11KetHGtTqwF6qm9uxKpUYs1g4]...exists.

Environment data:
REMOTE_ADDR = [IP.IP.IP.IP]
SESSION_KEY = [tIi1pk17OuOdmsRi7XYseRnzGHV8H9DARtCGdBN03lbpb2XhX4Z9VM8lbbrsk21B]
SESSION_ID = [wANWUGvNtnfuzc2Cb2oGuX54ADwZD5ZAEueg8X11KetHGtTqwF6qm9uxKpUYs1g4]

Session data:
ip = [IP.IP.IP.IP]
key = [tIi1pk17OuOdmsRi7XYseRnzGHV8H9DARtCGdBN03lbpb2XhX4Z9VM8lbbrsk21B]

Session file contents:
home_memory=3
host=host.domain.com:port
ip=IP.IP.IP.IP
key=tIi1pk17OuOdmsRi7XYseRnzGHV8H9DARtCGdBN03lbpb2XhX4Z9VM8lbbrsk21B
passwd=M0tNQTVxWFBLWEJrQnNjeFhzekRFc2h2eVVzSHk5WlFlclBCTVZMM056d2F6YlZXc1Rmd0dWU0FHcUMzdUpGQw==
```

Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

DirectAdmin support told me to contact CSF support...

Thanks!

Hello.
For me the update and reboot of Master server helped to solve this issue. (DirectAdmin with firewall is on VPS, which is on that master server)
