You are really getting into the deep end if you are starting off with this. You need to put in a lot of care if you are configuring IPtables this way. If you are not carefull you will find that you are locking yourself out.Dear all Gurus,
I have read little manul from www.php.net
I want to create web based firewall with php+iptables . Can any one give
me some documentation or guides or Examples ??I am using redhat linux
Yes you do have to use exec but only the root user can change filtering rules -which you are probably aware of. Unfortunately apache runs as a non privileged user and that means you will need to foray into suexec or sudo both of which are rather dangerous.
I am not trying to discourage you but just pointing out that this is perhaps not the ideal first project with PHP.
..all things are installed. I have little understood that i need to use shell_exec and exec to run linux command. I am very newbie to php even dont know html so i m having tough days with php. if any one could help me out. any docs.
