Hello,
I’ve been experimenting with Virtualmin on a cloud server and everything has been working fine until I decided to check what the firewall rules look like. Below is the message I get when I try to access the “Linux Firewall” under Networking in the UI. Same goes for iptables -L in terminal, etc.
An error occured when checking your current IPtables configuration
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/modules.dep: No such file or directory
iptables v1.4.7: can’t initialize iptables table `filter’: iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
This may indicate that your kernel does not support IPtables.
My system details are:
Operating system: CentOS Linux 6.5
Virtualmin version: 4.07.gpl GPL
Webmin version: 1.680
Kernel and CPU: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae on i686
update: since noticing the problem the button for “Linux Firewall” has completely disappeared from the Webmin -> Networking menu. Did the module deactivate itself because it realized it’s broken?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
