I was setting up a firewall from http://www.securecentos.com/basic-security/install-firewall/

I went through the setup step by step, but web connections on port 80 are being blocked. If I stop the firewall apache seems to work. When started it stops working again.

From my logs...

Feb  2 18:41:27 dev kernel: ** IN_TCP DROP ** IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=fe:fd:ad:ff:e4:a8:88:43:e1:7c:75:3f:08:00 SRC=184.57.51.14 DST=173.255.228.168 LEN=56 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=113 ID=26865 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=63533 DPT=80 WINDOW=8192 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

I did notice some funky stuff going on when I start the firewall, which im thinking must be the issue.

I have googled the "Unknown error 4294967295" but really haven't gotten to far, but the ": command not foundline 539:" can't be good either.

Any ideas???

You probably need to add port 80 to either IG_TCP_CPORTS in your conf.apf or add a line to allow.rules. Look around for "222" and where ever you see that, add a similar entry with 80

Thanks Hoopy! You are the man.

I had it somewhere else which must have been conflicting...

There were to lines with IG_TCP_CPORTS....must have had the one with only 222 over writing the one with all the other ports.

Yup, the last one wins. apf's configuration is a shell script, with all the benefits and drawbacks that implies. Including that.
