#322 fails to start in Fedora 18, firewalld and pgl need integration

2013-05-12T21:29:22Z

Well, that's surprising news, but good news.
Still not sure whether we need to make something about firewalld.

For the next days please check the mails sent to root (or have a look at pglcmd.log) to see whether the pglcmd.wd (watchdog) ever needs to restart pgl, because the iptables were messed up. (I still fear, that fiewalld may decide from time to time (automatically or upon user request) to completely reset the iptables rules, and hereby removing pgl's iptables rules).

OK, well good news! I got it work. I had been running the "make uninstall" from the directory and then re-running the "configure, make, make install" process.
I then ran a "locate pgl" and found a lot of config files left over so I manually removed them.

After that I re-downloaded the code and ran it again with "./autogen.sh, autoreconf" Then, I re ran it with all the suggested flags "./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-lsb=/lib/lsb/init-functions" re-ran make and make install.

It worked. Ran an update and it updated the files. Ran "pglcmd start" and then "pglcmd status" and it was running. Ran "pglcmd test" and it succeeded.

I then tested it with a few know blocked sites and it was working.

I am not sure which one (manually removing all the files or with the added flags besides "--sysconfdir=/etc" worked but it did work.

Thanks for all your help and a great program! Much appreciated.

Hmm, still interested in the pgld.log. But I wonder if the firewalld/iptables stuff is important at all. Perhaps it was some change to the LSB implementation.

Step 1:

Please edit your/usr/lig/pgl/pglcmd.lib and change line 1679 (from the current git code):

-start_daemon -n $NICE_LEVEL -p $PIDFILE $DAEMON $DAEMON_OPTS
+$DAEMON $DAEMON_OPTS

You can edit this directly, no need to recompile.

Step 2:
If this doesn't work, remove the following next few lines:

            if [ "$RETVAL" = 0 ] ; then
                if [ "$WD" = 1 ] ; then
                    # Start pglcmd.wd.
                    do_start_wd
                fi
            else
                # Remove iptables again, since starting failed.
                # Save the retval (although currently delete_iptables doesn't use this variable).
                SAVE_RETVAL=$RETVAL
                delete_iptables
                RETVAL=$SAVE_RETVAL
            fi

and post your "pglcmd status" again.

Sure thing. Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
I am using the latest source from git as well as the latest release (2.2.2)

Ok, so my proposed change to firewalld.conf is of no use. But that was just a quick idea, without really understanding it.

The status output shows that firewalld really is using iptables, but the iptables rules of pgl are missing. (So, at least my original fear of having to rewrite pgld was proven wrong.)

Please try again a "pglcmd start" and post its output and the relevant part of /var/log/pgl/pglcmd.log

Also wanted to note that I did make the suggested change to firewalld.conf when I ran this.

I just downloaded the latest and compiled and tried to run. Same issues.
Here is the result of pglcmd status.
