Re: How to install CSF firewall on centos linux

Sjwdavies — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 10:11:33 -0000

Hi there - I've installed APF using the link on this site, and was thinking of moving to CSF.

Should I uninstall APF (if so how?) or can I simply install this over the top?

Thanks in advance - Steve

For the life of me for the last two hours i could not find or figure out why (copied from the example above)
G_TCP_CPORTS=”21,22,25,53,80,110,111,143,443,587,953,2222,3306″

Didn't work for opening 3306, but all the other ports worked fine, then I finally noticed that from your example that I copied it used the damn MS quote (″)

Please change your examples above to rid them of this headache causing quote. I am sure I am not the only person that had this happen.

Really enjoyed your tutorials and have recommended them to everyone else that is setting up centos boxes.

How can I solve this

You just need to check the directory on the sourceforge..

new wget's: wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.n...

and the sha1 file is now just sha1 instead of sha1.txt so:

wget http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.n...

Remember to use protection!

Your CRON script won't work as is. It should be

cd /usr/local/chkrootkit
./chkrootkit
) | /bin/mail -s 'CHKROOTKIT Daily Run (servername)' your@email.com

/dev/md2 3.9G 75M 3.6G 3% /tmp
/var/tempFS 3.9G 75M 3.6G 3% /tmp

Is this ok?

I have been a fan of your site and whenever I configure my server I go through your articles to get things done. Great job.

I will suggest you to add an option for some Donate button or something and I will be more than happy to do that.

When I start APF for the first time it frezes at the line below:
apf(1632): {php} parsing php_list into /etc/apf/php_hosts.rules

Then the server crashes or goes into total lock-down because ssh or apache wont respond.

Any ideas guys?

Tim J Birkett — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:15:36 -0000

If you were mounting tmp.img as your /tmp file and wanted to add 9 GB to it:

umount /tmp
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=9G >> tmp.img
resize2fs -f tmp.img
mount -a

you now have a 10GB /tmp file (may require service restarts / reboot)
