Disable iptables?

gubak · 03-11-2007, 04:23 AM

Hi!

I have CentOS in textual mode. Through the installation process I have checked the "firewall enabled" field, but now I want to disable it.

Does anyone know how to disable firewall (iptables) in textual mode?

Thank you!

As root, type this:

Code:

service iptables stop

OR

Code:

/etc/init.d/iptables stop

if in case u got the SeLinux enabled u can disable it using :

#setenforce 0

Then edit the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file and disable selinux permanent.

To disable SELinux completely, you need to disable it in the kernel by passing "selinux=0" to the kernel in the GRUB configuration.

this is what I had to do to get apache to be able to use a NFS mount as DocumentRoot. I edited the /etc/sysconfig/selinx file and disabled selinux and rebooted. It now works fine.
