fail2ban error

[robertlouwen]

I have this error in Ispconfig control panel: Unable to read /var/log/fail2ban.log
When I look in /var/log there is no fail2ban.log so I create one, permissions 774 and owner root:root
Then the error changes in: fail2ban is not installed

I am using: Perfect server Fedora 12 ( i686 ), ISPConfig v 3.0.2.1

Who has an idea ?

Make sure that the fail2ban binray on your system is in the path, so that it can be found with the "which" command.

Hello Till,

I think fail2ban is not in the path

[root@obelix /]# which fail2ban
/usr/bin/which: no fail2ban in (/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Now, how do I get it inot the path ?

The fact the log file didn't exist indicates that it might not be installed??

yum install fail2ban
chkconfig --levels 235 fail2ban on
/etc/init.d/fail2ban start

Hello BillCouper,

I am sure fail2ban is installed ! To be very sure I rebooted my box and I saw fail2ban in the list with started services.

So it must be something else...

What's the output of

locate fail2ban
