This article explains how to install ConfigServer ModSecurity Control (CMC) on a dedicated server. In some cases, certain open-source applications may not function properly due to ModSecurity being enabled on the server. ModSecurity can be enabled or disabled either through the .htaccess file or via the WHM control panel.
However, it is necessary to have ConfigServer ModSecurity Control (CMC) Plugin already installed in your WHM on the dedicated server.
Follow the procedure:
- Log into your dedicated server via SSH using root login.
- Make sure you download the latest version of ConfigServer ModSecurity Control (CMC) from the following source:
http://www.configserver.com/free/cmc.tgz
- Untar the GZip’ed Tar format file with the following command:
tar -xzf cmc.tgz
- Now, change the directory to the extracted folder:
cd cmc/
- Simply execute the installer entering the following command:
sh install.sh
- Once it is installed, you can log in to your WHM control panel and scroll to the bottom of the left-hand menu and there you will find the “ConfigServer Mod Security”.
That is it! If you require any assistance, feel free to contact our support staff.
