#service iptables restart

Hello,

What happens if you

touch /etc/sysconfig/iptables

first?

# touch /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# service iptables start
# service iptables status
iptables: Firewall modules are not loaded.

[/etc/sysconfig]# ls ip*

Hello,

Are you running a firewall that is configuring settings in iptables such as CSF or APF?

whereis csf
whereis apf

If you are, please try disabling or uninstalling it and then trying to start iptables. Of note, iptables is a system level issue that isn't part of cPanel. If you cannot resolve that issue, you may well need to seek the advice of your datacenter, NOC or provider.

Thanks!

# whereis csf
csf:
# whereis apf
apf: /etc/apf /usr/local/sbin/apf

Please uninstall or entirely disable APF as suggested to see the results.
