I can confirm the same problem plus the WHM WAF interface didn’t even mention there was a new version available. I’ve uninstalled and can’t install new
I’ve had to do a locate on anything and everything cwaf, then delete them manually. Restart apache, go to whm mod_sec plugin and reset to default config. restart apache. Then download installer again, tried to install and nothing
So again double check that I hadn’t missed any files, downloaded the install script again and viola it installed, updated rules, added in my exclusion list saved & then restarted apache - held my breath and so far it looks like everything is working okay with logs showing the rules blocking.
if you are using cPanel, simply edit the /var/cpanel/pluginscache.yaml file and remove the following lines, leave and re-enter in WHM. Ready problem solved
We recommend you update mod_security to last one. This can be done with help of EasyApache in cPanel.
To start update of mod_security select from left menu “Software”->“EasyApache (Apache Update)”
Now you can press “Build Profile Now” to update your current Apache configuration, or “Start Customizing Based On Profile” if you want to add some modules etc.
Build will take some time. After build all your Apache modules will be updated to last version.
