APF won't start

[neorder]

i got this error when i try to start APF (fresh installation)

lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

Unable to load iptables module (ip_tables), aborting.

i'm sure iptables is running, and i'm using a VPS which is made by UML, i supposed it's the kenel problem, so i tried to recompile apache by using the supplied recompileapache script, but i still get same problem in the end.

i've done some research at google but no luck, any idea?

Read some of the posts further down this page: http://directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1235

Also search... its been brought up and discussed in a few threads - basically its either the kernel in most VPS systems or something else (related to the VPS), to be honest im not sure and have never had a VPS so not entirely sure!

depending on where you installed it just remove the directory, default install location is /usr/apf so just run:

rm -rf /etc/apf

APF isnt actually compiled / 'built' its just a simple shell script which unpacks the required files and moves them to the specified location.
