Continuing fail2ban saga. Everything seemed OK for some short period of time after reinstalling f2b. However it shuts down at random intervals with failed message. this is what I get before it shuts down: 2015-06-26 09:36:57,423 fail2ban.jail [14252]: INFO Jail 'plesk-apache-badbot'...

Thank you UFHH01 for your wise words. I do agree indeed. However I'm a one man band and always want to research and try possible solutions before asking anybody for help. Sometimes it does not work out very well. Your solution worked perfectly. Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.

Autoinstaller still running Fail2ban installation since 12h and got stuck. I'm not sure if I should stop it manually by now and interrupt installation process? As a result I'm getting plesk update error (in the mean time) because installer is busy. Execution failed. Command: autoinstaller...

Thank you for your suggestions. However none of the KBs really worked in my case. Fail2Ban Fail2ban will not reinstall with autoinstaller. F2b service is shown as stopped in plesk dashboard. After clicking change it takes about 3-5 minutes to load config page for f2b (no timeout). After page...
