Unable to access user interface
Posted: 09 Oct 2015, 05:04
G'day.
My webhost (Linode VPS) has recently become the target of DDoS attacks. I've put my site behind Cloudflare (free) but it doesn't seem to be helping at all.
So I've decided to give CSF a try. I'm running Centos 6.5 with standard LAMP setup for a few Wordpress sites. After installing CSF I setup the UI in the config file and restarted both CSF and LFD but I'm unable to gain access to the UI.
I've tried adding my IP address to the allow file under the UI folder and I've tried setting the UI to a different port.
Here's my csf.conf
csf.allow
Can someone please help? I've used CSF UI on a previous site I had and it worked great.

# Integrated User Interface. This feature provides a HTML UI to csf and lfd,
# without requiring a control panel or web server. The UI runs as a sub process
# to the lfd daemon
#
# As it runs under the root account and successful login provides root access
# to the server, great care should be taken when configuring and using this
# feature. There are additional restrictions to enhance secure access to the UI
#
# See readme.txt for more information about using this feature BEFORE enabling
# it for security and access reasons

# 1 to enable, 0 to disable

# Set this to the port that want to bind this service to. You should configure
# this port to be >1023 and different from any other port already being used
#
# Do NOT enable access to this port in TCP_IN, instead only allow trusted IP's
# to the port using Advanced Allow Filters (see readme.txt)
