Error during csf startup - Error:[iptables v1.8.4 (nf_tables): Set chain_DENY doesn't exist.]

Post by mattbaya »

I have a new server running CloudLinux 8.8 and while csf starts, it gives the following errors at the end of the startup output;

Code: Select all

Command:[/sbin/iptables  -v -A DENYIN -m set --match-set chain_DENY src -j DROP]
Error:[iptables v1.8.4 (nf_tables): Set chain_DENY doesn't exist.]
You should check through the main output carefully

*ERROR* line:[1990]
Command:[/sbin/iptables  -v -A DENYOUT -m set --match-set chain_DENY dst -j LOGDROPOUT]
Error:[iptables v1.8.4 (nf_tables): Set chain_DENY doesn't exist.]
You should check through the main output carefully

*ERROR* line:[2306]
Command:[/sbin/iptables  -v -A ALLOWIN -m set --match-set chain_ALLOW src -j ACCEPT]
Error:[iptables v1.8.4 (nf_tables): Set chain_ALLOW doesn't exist.]
You should check through the main output carefully

*ERROR* line:[2307]

csftest.pl says I should be ok;

Code: Select all

[root@secure log]#  perl /usr/local/csf/bin/csftest.pl
Testing ip_tables/iptable_filter...OK
Testing ipt_LOG...OK
Testing ipt_multiport/xt_multiport...OK
Testing ipt_REJECT...OK
Testing ipt_state/xt_state...OK

Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...OK
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...OK
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...OK
This is my first Cloudlinux 8.x server, i've only done CentOS/Cloudlinux 7 before this so I'm guessing there must be something I'm supposed to regarding setting up CSF and nf-tables but I'm not seeing mention of that. Googling the above errors hasn't been useful so far.

Any suggestions? Thanks
