Title: no firewall logs 3.0.5 beta1
Post by: u571kills on Saturday 15 August 2015, 01:40:36 am
Hello everyone,
I've recently installed a fresh copy of endian firewall from ISO to a physical server.
I've clicked "log accepted packets" on several outbound rules and "log accepted outgoing connections" on the main outgoing traffic page.

When I open live logs I do not see any firewall entries however. I went to "logs and reports" -> "firewall" and an error message displayed [ endian /var/log/firewall could not be opened ]. After reading several old posts I upgraded my system using "efw-upgrade" to the development release. I also created the directory using SSH.

The error message is now gone but I still don't see any logs in live log or historical.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

I logged in with ssh and created the file manually.
# touch /var/log/firewall

# chmod 0777 /var/log/firewall
...just to make sure Endian has access to it.

Then you have to start ulogd service:
# service ulogd start

or # service ulogd status (to check status).

Really not sure why Endian has a problem with this, but it works for me now :-)
