and vestacp installation stops.

Topic on github -> https://github.com/serghey-rodin/vesta/issues/1086

One of quick fix ->

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /var/run/fail2ban

and after installation

Code: Select all

sed -i "s/\[Service\]/\[Service\]\nExecStartPre = \/bin\/mkdir -p \/var\/run\/fail2ban/g" /usr/lib/systemd/system/fail2ban.service
systemctl daemon-reload

PS: First found - dpeca, my respects ;-)

PS2: bug in Fail2Ban v0.9.6, on 0.9.5 all right
