Topic : CSF Configserver installation issues

Posted By: kellenw on August 14, 2023, 8:02 am

After installing CSF configserver, the directions here https://webuzo.com/docs/admin/csf-firewall/ say to "Click on the Security > ConfigServer and Edit the configurations as per your needs". When I do that, I receive a message that simply states "Only root user allowed !" Any hints or tips on how to correct this issue?

The error message "Only root user allowed!" indicates that you need root-level permissions to access and configure CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall). This is a common restriction for firewall software because it requires elevated privileges to make system-level changes.
