I had a blocked ip in my fail2ban. So i would like to exclude this ip.

so i edit /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf

after that i did service fail2ban restart
But that would not work :-(

I get the status and this is the output

---------------------
service fail2ban status
* Status of authentication failure monitor                                               *  /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock not readable, status of fail2ban is unknown
---------------------
service fail2ban start
* Starting authentication failure monitor fail2ban                                       * Socket file /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock is present
                                                                                  [fail]

when i open this file it's empty ...

So i undo my changes, but still my fail2ban is down.

Are my actions correct ?
