I’m running 15.0.17.37 with Asterisk 13.38.2
My Dashboard shows Fail2ban service isn’t running. When I got to the page to restart it I see a notice that there’s been a recent update so I cleared my cache and refreshed the page. I still can’t get it to stay running. I even tried using a totally different browser but I still can’t get it to stay running. Is there something else I’m missing? I tried to grab the log file while restarting the service but I don’t see anything in it so maybe I’m grabbing the wrong logs. How do I get this service to keep running?

The most recent log is dated a couple of days ago. I see an error at the top of the page?

And the then it goes on until it ends with this:

I did something a bit drastic. I restarted the entire machine. I took everyone down for a bit of course but it seems to have worked. Fail2ban is running again
Funny how that becomes important to us isn’t it? But yes, I was sorry to see it get reset. I drive a Chevy Volt with a lifetime average of 135 mpg. I hate to see the days when the engine actually starts even though that’s the very reason I have an engine in the first place.
I’m just happy it worked. Often the reboot doesn’t correct whatever was wrong.
Maybe it’s just me but any time I have to reboot a system it’s a nervous time. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since the last boot. I hold my breath every time.
In my case it’s made worse because of my limited Linux knowledge and lack of confidence that my backups are correct or will restore correctly. I’ve only done a FreePBX restore once and it went pretty poorly. That was before the did all that work on the backup and restore module but it still makes me really nervous. I need something more idiot proof for someone with my limited skills. But that’s clearly my own fault.
