• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Firewall module

rbstern

Basic Pleskian
I've got a couple of Plesk 7.5.2/CentOS boxes that came with the firewall module already available.

I just took delivery on a Plesk 7.5.4/Red Hat Enterprise 3 box, and the firewall module (nor any other modules) are shown.

Is this an error or some sort of licensing change? How do I get the firewall module in place?
 
You can add the module by either running the RPM file, or adding by the control panel module interface.

The RPM file is normally kept in:

/root/psa/PSA_7.5.4/rpm_OSVer/opt/modules/firewall
 
Thanks for the reply.

I don't have a /root/psa directory, nor can I find any RPMs on the drive related to the Plesk firewall.
 
Go into the Updater in the control panel.

Server > Updater

Check the box to install the firewall module.
 
Doh! Thanks phoenix, I totally forgot about mentioning the updater in my earlier post.
 
Thanks. Found the Updater. Nice feature, but, if fails, whether I try to install the Firewall module or everytyhing that's available for update, I get:


Preparing for packages installation...

----- begin of output -----
Installing php-pgsql-4.3.2-23.ent.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

----- end of output -----
===> Autoinstaller: stopped logging at Wed Oct 26 23:37:53 2005

***** end of log file *****


Next step?
 
I have found that you are better off installing items one at a time with the updater, starting with the basic Plesk package.
 
Have you tried to locate the rpm? Try:

#locate psa-firewall

Then you could run the install from the command line.
 
I found the firewall module after realizing I was using locate without being root. D'oh. Too many late nights recovering a downed server...

Got the rpm installed and have access to the firewall.

Many thanks for the help provided here.
