An error occured getting IPtables status from the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status. This probably indicates that your system has been configured to use IPchains instead of IPtables. what do i do to sort this ? |
What distribution and version are you using?
Did you compile the kernel yourself? |

What happens if you run:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status From the command line? |
[root@ds00212 root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status
Firewall is stopped. [root@ds00212 root]# |
I'm using Webmin on my ClearOS 5.2 and I can't also edit my firewall rules through Webmin because of this error.
Running /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status give me all my firewall rules, so I suppose firewall to be running. |
This might be an obvious one to check, but have you checked to see if the ipchains module is installed and running within webmin?
|
I have no ipchains installed, but i've iptables instead, and Linux Firewall webmin module, which, I suppose, shoul support both iptables and ipchains.
|
If you can get into the command line, run the command "service ipchains status" see if this returns anything.
|
It return 'ipchains: unrecognized service'

iptables replaced ipchains years ago. You certainly can't have both at the same time.
Also, FC2 is years out of date; hasn't been updated in a long time; open to cracking. Recommend you get an up to date distro; try Fedora 13 (they dropped the 'Core' a while back) if you want to stay with Fedora. Note that's a new version about every year. For a longer term system, try Centos; a free version of RHEL, Currently on 5.5. |
