[HOWTO] Install CSF + Use it's GUI in VestaCP

[SS88]

What is your config file for Login failure?

LF_TRIGGER?

LF_FTPD?
LF_FTPD_PERM?

#FTPD_LOG = "/var/log/vsftpd.log"

REMOVE #

FTPD_LOG = "/var/log/vsftpd.log"

Thanks "SS88", I am using NON-GUI CSF since long time with vesta. Now you add CSF in Vesta panel looks awesome.

SS88, nice idea! Thanks

It may be worth to add the source to github?
(it's like with phpmyadmin-fixer - stability and accessibility for everyone, even if the personal server will be unavailable)

Note: I imagine when VestaCP is updated this will no longer work (but CSF will) that is because VestaCP will update it's templates and files.

If VestaCP does not update panel.html then simply re-running the script again after a VestaCP update will fix the issue; otherwise you will have to wait until I update this script.

you could apply an immutable condition to panel.html with chattr.

Code: Select all

chattr -i /usr/local/vesta/web/templates/admin/panel.html

@SS88

When you installed CSF did you remove the default firewall or any plugins after or before the default vestacp vst-install.sh?
Did you use the custom build at all?

One of the VPS I installed it on was a custom build, the other straight out of the box. I did however on both disable iptables and fail2ban (through VestaCP). I found that fail2ban is OK to work with CSF but iptables gets reset with Vesta rules if Vesta keeps it active.

Well, this is not good idea, backup will be better.

just tried with no firewall/fail2ban at install,
installed this csf mod, link is in the header, but when clicked 505 internal error vestacp black screen.
Any idea why? csf is running just not from the gui in vesta.

os version?
vesta version?

505 error is an odd error. Please check your logs.
