VPS issue installing CSF, missing modules

Post by rolinger »

Hello all.

I have a fully dedicated VPS with GoDaddy. The only thing they manage is the physical server the VPS resides on and ensure that my VPS is up...I am 100% responsible for all configurations, maintenance etc. I downloaded CSF and installed it and then ran the ./csftest.pl script to see what its doing, I get the following:
# ./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...FAILED [FATAL Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for csf to function
Testing ipt_limit/xt_limit...OK
Testing ipt_recent...OK
Testing xt_connlimit...FAILED [Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for CONNLIMIT feature
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...OK
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 not function on this server due to FATAL errors from missing modules [1]
I have read in many locations that I need to get my hosting provider to install the missing modules, however, since I am responsible for the server I believe I should be the one to do that. But I can't find proper docs on how to do this.

when I run: `lsmod` nothing is returned, so it looks like theres still lots of mods i have to install...I just don't know where to get them. Is this something that goes on the physical server (thus I dont have access to do that) or is this something I can install on the VPS myself (CentOS 6 + cPanel) ???
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
[root@ www]#

and

# modprobe ipt_REDIRECT
[root@ csf]# FATAL: Module ipt_REDIRECT not found.
bash: FATAL:: command not found

From cPanel though, it does say the FW is running (I already disabled TEST MODE). But after the restart I am getting alot of messages like this:
ACCEPT tcp opt -- in !lo out * 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:2077
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your best bet is to pay ConfigServer to do the install in your VPS and they will handle all of this for you, just my 2 cents.
