Cannot install iptables modules

Post by Interact » 2013/02/20 16:55:48

I'm trying to install some modules for iptables (which was provided by VPS hosting by default as a "plain") but it returns that modules.dep file is missing

[code]
[root@s15348420]# modprobe ipt_LOG
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-028stab099.3/modules.dep: No such file or directory
[/code]

Any clue what is going on?

Thanks

Yes, you're not running CentOS but some openvz/virtuozzo container and you do not have the ability to load kernel modules. You'll need to talk to your hoster.

Correct - it is Virtuozzo, but hoster (1&1) told me that I have full access to do whatever I want, because they only provide me a hardware (which looks like is not true).
