Ok, I am not sure what is happening here. New VPS with a firm I have two others with. Same distro, and cookbook used on all three VPS servers yet this server fail2ban refuses to start. I am getting this error:
* Restarting authentication failure monitor fail2ban WARNING 'logpath' not defined in 'INCLUDES'. Using default one: '/var/log/messages'
ERROR Failed during configuration: Bad value substitution:
section: [sshd]
option : logpath
key : sshd_log
rawval :
any ideas on what can be causing this?
it is an Ubuntu 14.04_4 64bit VPS
The cookbook receipe I use is this:---- Fail 2 Ban ----
Guide: https://easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/fail2ban/
1. copy fail2ban wp settings to server: git clone git://github.com/gagomap/fail2ban_settings.git
2. overwrite base fail2ban with new rules: cp -rf fail2ban /etc/
3. Edit the jail.local changing emails to myadmin@emailaddress.com...
