things were working fine, had my iptables rules fine, apache was working (like 3 weeks ago), got my mail server configured correctly.....everything was going fine. Now, apache wont take SSL requests, iptables doesnt work and fluxbox doesnt seem to like me (it wont display the background image automatically).
the iptables one is crucial...i have to have a firewall. here is what i get when i do a simple iptables -L command:
Code:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
mind you, iptables is compiled in
so, i tried to re compile the kernel right...well...i make the bzImage, but when i do "make modules" i get this error.
Code:
module.c: In function `cipe_check_kernel':
module.c:73: warning: implicit declaration of function `printk_R1b7d4074'
make[3]: *** [module.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers/addon/cipe'
make[2]: *** [_modsubdir_cipe] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers/addon'
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_addon] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2
and it exits.... ok, NO CLUE what that is, all i did was configure the kernel the way i wanted, actually, i took the kernel the way it was already installed, and make sure the iptables stuff was compiled in, then did the compile process and got that on make modules
so then i try to just go ahead with make modules_install, and i get this:
[code]
cp: cannot stat `cipcb.o': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers/addon/cipe'
make[2]: *** [_modinst_cipe] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers/addon'
make[1]: *** [_modinst_addon] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-18.7/drivers'
make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2
[code]
same stuff from make modules almost (makes sense)
1. what is cipcb?
2. what happened to my iptables, why wont they work?
note:( just typing iptables and hitting enter does work)
if it helps, deleted some old kernels (not the source) from the /boot
directory, maybe my System.map is messed up but i dont even know what that does. i tried to compile the stuff in the cipe directory but it gives all kind of errors. tried fixing its source code but that only got rid of the "file not found errors" but produced other errors (it couldnt find the include files udp.h, sock.h and ip.h so i helped it out and pointed it to the correct places where those files reside) if i cant get this to work, i guess i'll have to backup everything...and reformat the system AGAIN!!
there must be a better way.
