    Hi,

    ive wanted to install NinjaFirewall 1.4 on my wordpress site.
    But during the installation process (chosen apache2 with php5), the errorlg says: “firewall not loaded. try ohter version.”

    Ive tried every apache2+XX possibility, and im pretty sure i installed php5.
    #dpkg -l | grep php
    #ii php5 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7 all server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage)

    I dont see the problem.
    Is there any logfile which i can check for debuging?

    regards

    EDIT: got this message @pluginmenu
    “NinjaFirewall fatal error : Unable to communicate with the firewall. Please check your PHP INI settings. Review your installation, your site is not protected.”

    Hi,

    1. Download the troublershooter script : NinjaCheck.php:
    2. Rename this file to “ninjacheck.php”.
    3. Upload it into your WordPress root folder.
    4. Goto http: //YOUR WEBSITE/ninjacheck.php.
    5. Paste here the results (you may want to anonymize the paths/domain name).
    6. Delete the script afterwards.

    You need to use “Apache + PHP5 module” so that the “auto_prepend_file” directive will be added to your .htaccess.

    If it does not work, you need to make sure that the AllowOverride is set in your main Apache configuration file: Ubuntu Help.

    Hi,

    this solved my problem.
    just had to change “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All”…
    i changed the ownergroup of the .htaccess to www-data and made it writeable (664).

    Thanks for your help.

    But on this way i just want to ask you about the plugin itself and its compatibility to other plugins like Bulletproof Security or iTheme Security. Do i need them too, are they adviseable?

    regards

    Hi,

    You don’t really need other security plugins, unless of course they have a specific feature that you need and cannot find in NinjaFirewall.
