[Tony20]

Hello, before, I was having fail2ban problems. so I deleted it and did the install again, now Keyhelp have changed the way it work,
but my version does not get update with keyhelp. there a way to fix this so I can get the default version of Fail2ban that come with Keyhelp?

The fail2ban version was install from Ubuntu 20.04

Check the logs, it will tell you what went wrong.

In my opinion it doesn't start because of missing logs in jails that can't be read.

Run this, should show something simmular:

Code: Select all

service fail2ban status

If it fails it will also tell you why.

KeyHelp can't do anything if the deamon won't start.

And to answer your question: KeyHelp installs the Fail2Ban version, which is the default for the particular operating system version.

In the case of Ubuntu 20.04 - it is currently Fail2Ban 0.11.1.

Hello Alexander! is there a way for me to install it and make sure when the KeyHelp Panel get updated is also get update?

[Alexander]

This would be the installation commands:

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y fail2ban ;
cp /home/keyhelp/www/keyhelp/install/templates/fail2ban/jail.d/keyhelp.local /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/keyhelp.local ;
cp /home/keyhelp/www/keyhelp/install/templates/fail2ban/filter.d/keyhelp-phpmyadmin.conf /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/keyhelp-phpmyadmin.conf ;
chown keyhelp:keyhelp /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/keyhelp.local ;
service fail2ban restart ;

If it still won't work, we would need more input, error messages etc.

You may want to send him the default configs that KeyHelp and Fail2ban use.
Then restart fail2ban and see if it works.

Delete entire /etc/fail2ban and replace it with yours.

I did, see the "cp" commands.
