If I recall correctly, you are using CentOS 7? With 7, you really should be using firewalld rather than manually writing iptables rules. see the firewall section of the RHEL 7 networking manual I previously linked, twice. otherwise, which part of that error is unclear? check line 2 of /etc/sysconfig/iptables, it has a syntax error. there may be more information in the system logs, see chapter 20, 'logging' https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-Viewing_and_Managing_Log_Files.html -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
