CentOS 7.5.1804 Firewalld Failure to run

[DustinB3403]

If you are unable to run firewalld and are getting an error like this

Jun 06 09:26:43 localhost.localdomain firewalld[10096]: ERROR: Exception DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.168" is not allowed to own the service "org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1" due ...nfiguration file

Try running the following to correct the issue.

1. systemctl restart dbus
2. systemctl restart firewalld

Here is a reported issue on bugzilla.

@dustinb3403 this is probably not very helpful but i have seen services that benefited from a complete stop, waiting a minute or two, then start them again, instead of restart. it makes no sense to me but i have seen it a couple times on my web servers.

@jmoore this is a bug of some sort supposedly from upgrading from 7.4 to 7.5 (at least according to the bugzilla report).
