CentOS 5 Server :: VsFTP Iptables Wont Start Get Error - CentOS 5.5
May 11, 2011
i am currently trying to install vsFTP onto my new linux server and btw i just started using linux today this is my first time using linux so i got the ftp installed good it got downloaded and everything then i went to open a port for my server for vsFTP i used this comand to open it "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT" then i closed it by pressing ESC then :wq! and it brought me back to my comand line again so now when i try to start the ip table thing with the comand "service iptables start" then when i execute that comand putty respondes with this "Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 1 failed [FAILED]"
After few hours working I can connect to ftp.And download files from the server.But I can not upload file or create directory.I checked my configure file several time could not figure it out.
I've setup a Lamp Server for Testing, The Lamp Server is Up & Running on CentOs 5.5
I am now trying to setup a VSFTP server where local users can upload files to there home directory so that Apache can serve web pages straight from the directories of system user home/accounts giving users the ability to run their own web sites which are hosted off the main server [tutorial here: [url]
So far i have been able to serve/display index.html files from the users home directory [url] but so far i cant upload files to any user home directory, every time i try to upload a file with filezilla i get this error message: 553 Could not create file. Critical file transfer error
I have searched online for similar problems like mine and so far i've tried alot of the solution but none seem to work. I'm confused, dont know where i went wrong, i put the users in a group called ftpusers and here are the permissions on the users (test, ftpuser & testftp) home directory. have a look an tell me where i went wrong :(
Also the root directory where the web pages are served from is called public_html here are the permissions
Here is my vsftp.conf file can someone check it to see if i made any errors in there:
I need to setup a way for our Web Developer to login to this particular server to manage the webpages that are hosted. He prefers to use his ftp client/fireftp since he connects to all other servers that way. I can connect via local network but can not seem to connect from my home computer. We have a firebox firewall and we opened port 21. Do we need to open any other ports or just port 21?
I have CentOS 5.2 just installed and massively updated with yum -update command. Than I tried to configure firewall. After changes via system_config_securitylevel_tui (open ssh, http, ftp, and 3306:TCP ports) iptables service can't start with message
> /sbin/service iptables start Flushing firewall rules: [OK] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: mangle filter nat [OK] Unloading iptables modules: [OK] Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.3.5: Couldn't load match `TCP':/lib64/iptables/libipt_TCP.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error occurred at line: 18 Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. [FAILED]
I erased the iptables service and installed it again with yum. How can I make this service work?
I have a VPS running on centos-5-x86 and mysql server went down two days ago this is my mysql server log

i restore Centos from backup file,after i have finished,i start centos, it can't start and repost error: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option
I'm trying to redirect the requests from port 80 to ports 8080 and 8081 through iptables because I've got two services which need accept requests from the same port(80):
I've been trying to install VSFTP on a test box I have at home. Here are the steps that I've done so far: First, I install vsftpd via yum. yum install vsftpd
I have a problem with compiling of mod_ruby-1.3.0 After a succesfull configure i get a error in the make, it say "make: *** [apachelib.o] error 1" . Here below you can find the results of de configuring and the make.I was following the roles in Howtoforge " The perfect server - Centos 5.3" everything goes perfect till mod_ruby-1.3.0
./configure.rb --with-apr-includes=/usr/include/apr-1 checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether we are using gcc... yes
This is my first post, I hope I'm the the right place. I installed mysql mysql-server php-mysql perl-DBD-mysql libdbi-dbd-mysql via "yum install -y" on a server running CentOS 5.3 X86_64 The install completes successful with no errors, but once I start mysqld via "chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on" ; "service mysqld start" There are no errors in /var/log/mysqld.log netstat shows mysqld listening on 3306 and localhost is in /etc/hosts
I'm trying to create new RAM image file to get my server load raid1 module upon start, I was following redhat documentation & it suggested to use the following command mkinited --with=raid1 inited-raid1-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) However after running this command I'm getting this message No Kernel available for 'inited-2.6.18-128.el5"
I installed CentOS 5.5 x86_64 on server as xen dom0. When i try to install CentOS 5.5 x86_64 as guest (hardware virtualization) i see "Kernel panic"...Installation not started: i see install cd's boot menu, press Enter... that's all.
Dom0 kernel: 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen, xen 3.0.3 Only standart installation, repo's and update's...
I try to get authentication working from remote LDAP server (Novell eDirectory)So far I can get correct info from id user or using ldapsearch (so the connectivity is there)But what do I need to configure to get authentication working for SSH login & vsftp login?
I have a fresh installation of CentOS 5 I'm using for a server, and I'm having issues with port configuration. I have iptables running, and it started with no /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I added a few basic rules (port 53, port 10000 for webmin), saved the file, and restarted the service. I tried connecting to webmin, scanned ports, and traffic was blocked. I set iptables to allow all traffic and restarted the service, and it still showed basically every port as being blocked. It seems port 80 and port 22 work for some reason, even when I tell iptables to block all ports.
I'm not sure what's going on here. Iptables is reading the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, and if I use lynx localhost:someport it responds as it should according to the file. However, if I try connecting by IP, it's like there's some other firewall or something running that does whatever it's configured to do.....
I have been trying for days now to get this to work. didn't want to bother people with my questions, i have installed Fail2Ban 0.8.4 on CentOS 5.4.
I get the email notifications from Fail2Ban stating that it just blocked another IP, however, when i look at the iptables through webmin, nothing is actually in there, also the log/secure file dose not show that the ip has been blocked.
Even when I try to log-in with the wrong password, after a few tries i get the email telling me that my ip is blocked, however, I can still SSH using my 'blocked' IP.
I am trying to edit the iptables to include some ports/ip for openfire server. The problem is the computer is very locked down with permissions...I logged in as ROOT with ID 0.Now the iptables has ROOT for permission BUT ID 1 which reflects BIN.As root i cant edit or chmod/chown the iptables. Here is what i tried:
1. change password of BIN - successfully changed with no errors BUT still cant su BIN with the new password...
2. tried changing the ID of ROOT to 1 but I dont have permission to use the command....
so anything i can do here??? I dont have permission with Shadow either...
I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !
I'm trying to open up some ports to connect via vnc to a server running Centos 5.5. I've edited /etc/sysconfig/iptables everything *looks* fine, but I still can't seem to get access to the port I've opened (I added some newlines for clarity between commands):
To expand: I'm trying to set up a box with l7-filter, and I need to patch and compile iptables 1.4.1.1 as part of the process. I ./configured it with the prefix= argument so it would install into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin, and I did a yum remove iptables before installing it so as not to get in the way of the original iptables, but I'm wondering if this is really necessary - it's kind of annoying, because removing the original iptables removes the init.d script, deregisters the service, etc. If I don't, is it possible that iptables 1.4.1.1 might get overwritten in a system update or something, or will yum see that I've got a custom/newer version in there and leave it be?
I have upgraded from Centos version 4.x to 5.5 and my installation of UGS NX 6.0 was installed under Centos 4. NX was working fine in Centos 4, but when I try starting it under Centos 5, I get the following:
ERROR: unable to start NX Check: X windows is running, :0.0 is valid, and X display has been authorized on :0.0.
I installed the Centos 5.5 and after the Xen. After I put a virtual machine named VM01.Initially it worked properly, I tried everything and it worked.When rebooted, I had problems with the network.I have two network cards eth0 and eth1, but eth1 does not have any ip and I use only eth0.The error that appears is:
vif0.0: received packet with own address the source address
On my machine, I am not able to login using any of the user account or root. It's showing this message:
Then comes another message: YOur session lasted for less than 10 seconds. Try logging using Failsfe. .... session_child_run: Could not exec /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession default
I tried to use the failsafe as well, but nothing seems to work.
Would someone please help me regarding this issue?
How to get GUI while ssh to a server? This is what I have so far. Code: yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment" on server How to start the gui?
I'm running CentOS 5.4. I rebooted the machine for the first time in at least a month or so. I reboot into runlevel 3 (no X11). Things seem fine. But when I login and try to start X with "startx", the screen goes blank. X doesn't appear to start. In fact, the only thing I can do is reboot the machine and start over. This is really annoying.
I have Centos 5.1 and im a total newbie. I have managed to get it running with Apache and PHP but after I install mysql it fails to start with the above error. I have removed it as well using YUM and reinstalled it but it still will not start.
