Iptables module missing!

[raamee]

Hi,

I was running csf and everything was fine. Now, I just did recent update using easy apache. After then my vps behaving weird and I wasn't able to access my sites. Then I consulted my hosting company and they found csf causing this problem and they disabled it. When I enable csf, I cant access my sites. I run this command,

/etc/csf/csftest.pl

Testing ip_tables/iptable_filter...OK
Testing ipt_LOG...OK
Testing ipt_multiport/xt_multiport...OK
Testing ipt_REJECT...OK
Testing ipt_state/xt_state...FAILED [FATAL Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for csf to function
Testing ipt_limit/xt_limit...OK
Testing ipt_recent...OK
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for SMTP_BLOCK and UID/GID blocking features
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...FAILED [Error: iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)] - Required for MESSENGER feature

RESULT: csf will not function on this server due to FATAL errors from missing modules [1]

There are so many errors. I need to add the missing modules to enable the csf. How to add iptables modules? Right now I have disabled csf. Please help. Thanks.

Hello,

You need to execute the above given commands from the Node and not from the vps. If you do not have access to Node, contact your host regarding this.

OpenVZ or Virtuozzo your provider needs to set up the Iptables modules
since it was working before it appears the have made changes to the hardware node

Oh.. Its openvz. So you are asking to contact provider to make it rectify? Thanks for the help.
