QUESTION add-ip function does not work on Centos 6.7 platform

[SMTC]

The add-ip function for IPTABLES makes a call to "service iptables-persistent" which does not exist on the platform or in the IncrediblePBX13-12.2-Centos.tar.gz distro.

This results in an error and the IP is not added.

The "status" command also flashes an "unrecognized service" message prior to loading the GUI status display.

I reported that a few weeks ago. I've been using Webmin to make changes for now.

Try running this command and then try add-ip again. Let me know if it fixes things:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables-persistent

CORRECTION DID WORK FUMBLE FINGERS HERE

[SMTC]

Yep that worked. Thanks.

Hmmmm. IPTABLES does not restart after a reboot. The command iptables-restart brings it up OK (sometimes twice since some fails at the first attempt).

Found this thread
http://pbxinaflash.com/community/threads/iptables-wont-start-with-fqdn.16234/#post-105035

but the iptables-restart command is already in the the /etc/rc.local file.
