VPS iptables problems

Hi, I am on a GoDaddy VPS, and I am having the issues like such:

Testing ipt_recent...FAILED [Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for PORTFLOOD and PORTKNOCKING features
Testing xt_connlimit...FAILED [Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for CONNLIMIT feature
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...FAILED [Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for SMTP_BLOCK and UID/GID blocking features
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...FAILED [Error: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.] - Required for MESSENGER feature
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...FAILED [Error: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.] - Required for csf.redirect feature

Is there any advice anyone can offer to get these installed? I don't have a vz/vz.conf file, like i have seen on many other Google results. I'm getting spam sent out pretty heavily, and I need to mitigate this as soon as possible.

Thanks

rob

Your VPS host can install these missing modules, so you need to contact them and ask them to look into this.

Did you ever get ConfigServer installed on your GoDaddy VPS? I have been having problems installing it myself as well.

Bumping this old topic as I got exactly the same error message after installing csf.

Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...FAILED [Error: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.] - Required for MESSENGER feature
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...FAILED [Error: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.] - Required for csf.redirect feature
RESULT: csf will function on this server but some features will not work due to some missing iptables modules [2]

GoDaddy VPS running CentOS 6. Tech support says csf "is possible" as they saw it running with WHM, but according to them iptable is already running as below :confused:

# rpm -q iptables
iptables-1.4.7-16.el6.x86_64

Help is truly appreciated!!!

Asked godaddy to install the modules listed in sticky post by chirpy, but was told "Due to the configuration of the Virtual Private Server those modules are not available." "Yes, we are aware that the modules can be loaded from the parent server however this is not something that our hosting administrators permit."

Anyone else has luck with godaddy CentOS6 VPS? thanks...
