Need Help With CentOS Server

[SuperShermanTanker]

So I'm trying to set up a server and for some reason it won't let me install or set up firewalld and I really need help with this because even though it will let me use IPtables I have no idea how to use that program

What error are you getting?

 

why do you want to user firewalld instead of iptables?

Firewalld is the only one I know how to configure and here's the errors I'm getting

 

[root@localhost ~]# sudo systemctl start firewalld
sudo: systemctl: command not found

 

 

[root@localhost ~]# yum install firewalld -y
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Setting up Install Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.sesp.northwestern.edu
 * epel: mirror.nexcess.net
 * extras: centos.mirrors.tds.net
 * updates: mirror.sesp.northwestern.edu
No package firewalld available.
Error: Nothing to do

It can't find the package for firewalld in the repositories you've got enabled. Also it doesn't look like systemctl is a command in CentOS. There will be another utility for controlling processes. (edit: apologies if wrong about systemctl command, I don't use the distro CentOS)

What version of CentOS are you using?

Ok I thought that was the reason why it wouldn't install

I went ahead and tried to set up IPtables and I think I got it set up I'm going to try and set everything else up and see if it works

it says CentOS 6.8

[unijab]

Install CentOS7 if you want firewalld... or keep 6.8 & continue with iptables... up to you

Was going to say I just installed CentOS 7 and it came packaged with firewalld.

It seems like they installed CentOS 6.8 on my server that's probably why
