Trying http instead of httpd makes no difference.
I also noticed that when the system has started… fail2ban (in the admin module) shows as running.
If I click restart it does not.
When this is happening the fail2ban.log shows this:

Restarting it from the root prompt however works and failban shows this:

Any ideas?
