Just installed CSF and went through the configuration file trying to restart and apply my changes when I see this error: You have an unresolved error when starting csf: Error: iptables command [/sbin/iptables --wait -v -A INPUT ! -i lo -p tcp --dport "80 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m recent --set --name "80] failed, at line 2774 in /usr/sbin/csf You need to restart csf successfully to remove this warning, or delete /etc/csf/csf.error I tried to find the iptables / CSF complete file with all the rules but I can't seem to find it. This is the only rule preventing me from starting my firewall. Regards, Jacob.

  Hello, Is this a VPS? If so, it might be missing a required iptables module. There's a similar thread here: Note that CSF is a third-party application. It's generally recommend to seek out support on their support forums first:

  Try this: cat /etc/csf/csf.error If you are lucky the error may should tell something. And/Or If you are using blocklists or/and CC_DENY enable IP_SET.

  Thank you for your replies. I found out that the versions.txt file in CSF was missing and caused the error. Putting the normal version file back fixes the error. Again a self inflicted error.. Jake.
