Hello,
I have recently migrated to a VPS - its CentOS 6, cPanel and WHM.
I have additionally installed CSF on the VPS.
The above configuration was working fine from last 3 months, but last week, I received a notification that CSF was automatically updated (through cPanel or by it own) and after that update (or some other update about which I do not have any idea), a strange problem has started occuring.
I reboot the VPS and I am unable to access it by any means - the web server (apache) stops, pop3 stops, ftp stops, ssh stops, I completely lose control over it.
I received notifications from the server, once its gets recovered -
***************************
chkservd attempts to connect to 127.0.0.1:21 in order to validate this service is functioning. If you have blocked connections with iptables or hosts.allow this failure may be a false positive. You should open the firewall to allow connection as root to 127.0.0.1:21 or disable checks of this service in the Service Manager using the Configure monitor settings link below.

***************************
cpsrvd failed @ Tue Dec 10 16:06:11 2013. A restart was attempted automagically.
***************************
Can you help me how to fix this, as the moment I reboot the server, all network services stops working, I am a Windows Guy and Learning how to manage Linux, I am posting here with a hope that someone may have come through this problem and can share his comments with me.
Is this caused by the CSF update? Should I remove CSF? I am very happy with CSF as it helps me block all the brute force attacks, and dont want to remove this beautiful software.
Many thanks for the replies and suggestions.
