Iptables Module Issue

aaf · 12-22-2006, 08:50 AM

I have a VDS server which I believe is a clean install of debian sarge and I have updated it. I'm trying to set an iptables rule so that requests on port 80 will redirect to port 8080 for tomcat but when I run...

Code:

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

I get this response...

Code:

modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I was planning on following these recommendations but I'm stymied at the first hurdle.

Any advice much appreciated...

Sorry for the bump, but I'm sure there is a simple answer for this...

Anybody any idea what that response even means?

>apt-get install module-init-tools
>update-modules

Fixed...
