Iptables

[alentr]

Hello. I have got plesk 8.1 installed on my linux server. and have got a vbulletin board installed on it. But yesterday and today the google bots arent visiting my website. I think that they can be banned from my server. So i wanted to flush my iptables but when I try the command "iptaples --flush" it says that is it an unknown command. What can I do for it? Please help me thanx a lot.

Make sure you are logged in as root and run "iptables -F" or "/sbin/iptables -F"
Not "iptaples"

Or, why not use the Plesk firewall module?

.. better Plesk fireawall

better use the Plesk firewall tool - Plesk -Services - Modules - firewall.
If you flush the privileges, next time when you restart your server the Plesk script will overwrite the settings. Also it does not worth to expose your server necked in the net.
