Problem with Traffic Shaping

[giovani.manenti@…]

In Traffic Shaping I can not add a rule using application based service or application based service group. He simply will not let me select these options. Thank you for your attention.

This is not a bug. You must have install ebox-l7-protocols and kernel module xt_layer7 installed.

The right place to ask community support questions, use our forum  http://forum.ebox-platform.com.

Thanks very much for using eBox!!

I have the same problem. This is probably caused by a system update (I did it with web interface; my gateway has been installed with Ebox 1.2.5 installation CD). Trafficshapping was working before update.

Here is more info:

root@gw# LANG=C apt-get install ebox-l7-protocols
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ebox-l7-protocols is already the newest version.

root@gw# LANG=C modprobe -v xt_layer7
FATAL: Module xt_layer7 not found.

root@gw:~# uname -a
Linux gw 2.6.24-26-server #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 19:19:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

The last line show that my kernel has been upgraded (probably provided by ubuntu). xt_layer7.ko exists only in linux-image-2.6.24-24-l7filter. It seems that there isn't a l7 version for 2.6.24-26:

root@gw:~# apt-cache search l7filter
linux-image-2.6.24-24-l7filter - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86/x86_64

For users having this problem: a quick fix is to revert booting kernel to 2.6.24-24-l7 (I can confirm it fixed it).

IMO the right fix would be to provide a package for 2.6.24-26 with an l7 enabled kernel.

(BTW, ebox is remarkable appliance. Congratulations! ;-))

Closing this as 1.2 is not longer maintained and it's not a bug.
