• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.

Two questions about the Firewall. Where are the config files and about Extension

Regular Pleskian
Hi

The documentation (http://kb.parallels.com/en/111283) gives this information about psa-firewall:

Configuration:
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-active.sh
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-emergency.sh
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall/firewall-new.sh

However on my Plesk 11.5 on Centos 6.4 this path does not exist. (/usr/local/psa/var/modules/ is empty).

My second question is about the Firewall Extension. I see I can install this by going to Updates and Upgrades and it is then available through the Extension Manager. My question is: is this just a GUI for psa-firewall; or is it a new/different firewall?

With thanks

Make sure you have the extension installed.

The extension is just a frontend to the system firewall colloquially known as iptables on Linux. Installing it through Parallels Installer will in fact install psa-firewall package.
 
Firewall Exstension

Hi

Also; just out of interest - before having installed the Firewall Extension psa-firewall is already running as a process. Presumably it is running with a default or zero configuration?

Thanks again
