CSF Error: *WARNING* Binary location for [HOST] [/usr/bin/host] in /etc/csf/csf.conf is either incorrect, is not installed or is not executable Print

Following the install of CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall) on some servers, you may experience the following error message when executing a CSF restart:

*WARNING* Binary location for [HOST] [/usr/bin/host] in /etc/csf/csf.conf is either incorrect, is not installed or is not executable


If this happens to you, don't worry, it's simply that you are missing a package that CSF requires to run correctly. To resolve this problem, please install the following package:

yum install bind-utils -y

Or, if you're running Ubuntu, Debian or some other apt-based distro, try this instead:

apt-get install dnsutils -y

 

Once this is done, you should be able to restart CSF without seeing the above error message. 

 

csf -r
