I am getting this error when I attempt to enable Fail2Ban:

Error: Unable to save the settings: f2bmng failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fail2ban-client", line 472, in <module>
if client.start(sys.argv):

return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
ERROR:f2bmng:Command '['/usr/bin/fail2ban-client', 'reload']' returned non-zero exit status 1.​

Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks!

Hi techguyal,

Did you see Failed to start fail2ban service ?

ty! that worked...any idea why it would be already started? the only thing I have installed is Plesk and I installed it from a fresh install of Ubuntu.
