CSF Installation Disabled After CyberPanel Update: Firewall Settings Hidden and Installation Errors

Kais · September 3, 2024, 10:05am

You are great. You have saved my system. Thank you so much!

What I just saw after using your rollback script is that CSF released a new version 5 days ago

Now I wonder if the problem has been fixed in it? Does anyone know?

Kais · September 3, 2024, 10:19am

Got this on one server:

Can you help?

Kais · September 3, 2024, 10:39am

I have different CyberPanel Server based obn Ubunto20.04LTS and Ubuntu22.04LTS

It seems your Rollback-Script only works on Ubuntu20.04LTS based installs of Cyberpanel. It dosen´t work ob Ubuntu22.04LTS based Cyberpanel machines. After the rollback the Error 500 is back

Ok. So for Ubuntu 22.04 Cyberpanel v2.3.5 I’m getting 500 error.
I pinpointed the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/wsgi.py", line 16, in <module>

ugettext_lazy is deprecated.

As stated before, this doesn’t seem so much of CSF issue as it is Django package version mismatch within CyberCP (control panel itself).

I don’t think that’s an issue particular with Ubuntu 22.
I was checking yesterday with @dcupertino and he also got that issue on Almalinux 9 but was able to solve it.

Check to make sure django is on 3.1.3

python -m django --version

Run the following:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade packaging setuptools
pip install Django==3.1.3
pip install -r /usr/local/CyberCP/requirments.txt --force-reinstall
find /usr/local/CyberCP/ -type d -name __pycache__ -exec rm -r {} \+; service lscpd restart && service lsws restart; killall lsphp

After check to see if that fixes the panel. If not upgrade Django and upgrade Cyberpanel to 2.3.5

pip install --upgrade django
sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh || wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh)

After the upgrade, you should be back up to 2.3.5 with No CSF.
Rerun my script and then follow the steps to uninstall and reinstall CSF then restore your CSF config backup.

richardevcom · September 3, 2024, 5:55pm

Double, triple-checked everything:

Django is 3.1.3 version
Rerun everything as you mentioned step by step
Still the same 500 error (only this time packages exist and previous error dissipated)

Here is the error (that previously also occurred):

File "/usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/wsgi.py", line 17, in <module>
    application = get_wsgi_application()
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/wsgi.py", line 12, in get_wsgi_application
    django.setup(set_prefix=False)
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup
    apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 83, in populate
    raise RuntimeError("populate() isn't reentrant")
RuntimeError: populate() isn't reentrant
2024-09-03 17:35:51.264906 [UID:1001][1929473] packetLen < 0

Basically what this issue means is that Django’s app registry is being populated more than once.
So this is a good news. Now for the sake of finding out what is the real reason for this - I changed in django/apps/registry.py:

raise RuntimeError("populate() isn't reentrant")

to

self.app_configs = {}

to allow Django continue loading.

Now 500 error disapeared and I tried to install CSF again and got this error during installation:

local variable 'cPort' referenced before assignment [404]Downloading CSF..

Checking out stderr.log i got that module signals is missing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/wsgi.py", line 17, in <module>
    application = get_wsgi_application()
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/wsgi.py", line 12, in get_wsgi_application
    django.setup(set_prefix=False)
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup
    apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 124, in populate
    app_config.ready()

    import signals
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'signals'
2024-09-03 17:52:20.291332 [UID:1001][1972596] packetLen < 0

Continuing investigating… Update coming soon…

[UPDATE]
So the issue lies within /usr/local/CyberCP/configservcsf/ as suspected.
I installed signals and after restart got this error:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

NameError: name 'url' is not define

I suspect its configuration issue from CyberCP side. I’m not confident in messing around CyberCP and configservcsf urls.py atm, so I’ll take a break, look around and maybe continue once I figure out why CSF installation doesn’t provide correct URLs or why CyberCP doesn’t load csf correctly.

That’s it from me now. Hope somebody will have better luck debugging this.
Again, Thanks @sajetek_developer for your effort.

sajetek_developer · September 3, 2024, 6:32pm

Edit /usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/settings.py and remove the line that contains “configservcsf”
restart lscpd and that will fix the “RuntimeError: populate() isn’t reentrant” error

From there your panel should load

richardevcom · September 3, 2024, 7:16pm

Welp, yeah - getting same error:

  File "/usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/urls.py", line 40, in <module>
    url(r'^configservercsf/',include('configservercsf.urls')),
NameError: name 'url' is not defined

I tried to rerun everything also with /usr/local/CyberCP/bin/pip and /usr/local/CyberCP/bin/python but I get the same error.

sajetek_developer · September 3, 2024, 9:05pm

Please redownload the script as there was an update.
Thanks to @richardevcom for helping resolve the issue on Ubuntu 22

richardevcom · September 3, 2024, 9:24pm

Thank you @sajetek_developer

Whoever is still searching for solution, here is the updated one (works on Ubuntu 22.04 as well): https://sajetekengineering.com/blog-article/how-to-re-enable-csf-firewall-on-cyberpanel/

Kais · September 4, 2024, 8:33am

Hello, thank you very much for your help. With the latest version of your script I was able to successfully rollback Cyberpanel and reinstall CSF on my Ubuntu22.04LTS based systems.

Thank you very much !!!

Kais · September 4, 2024, 9:02am

I have another problem and I’m not sure if it’s related. In any case, my ImunifyAV is no longer working. I can still call it up and log in and also start a manual scan, but it scans NOTHING, as you can see from the fact that there is always a 0 in the “Total Objects Scanned”:

Even a new installation does not help.

I see this error in the system services. This aibolit-resident.socket probably has something to do with Imunify. Does anyone have an idea about this?

richardevcom · September 4, 2024, 2:57pm

Definitely not related. Please create another topic regarding this.
