How to install mod_cloudflare

[hectorpn]

Hi everyone.

Sorry for the noob questions but can someone point me in the right direction to install mod_cloudflare?

I am running WordPress and Magento on WHM 11.3 / CentOS 5.5 / Apache 2.2 / Nginx Admin 2.5

First question: should I install at the Apache level (https://github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-Tools) or at Nginx level (HttpRealIpModule)... I am assuming Apache but please tell me if I am right?

If as an Apache module, I would follow these steps: Performance, Security & Apps for Any Website | CloudFlare | Wiki ... should the LoadModule be in the PreMain include?

Second question, if I follow the steps mentioned above, I assume it will survive cPanel updates, being done through the Include editor, correct?

Thanks so very much!

I'd also be interested if anyone has installed Cloudflare on their cPanel servers
thanks

I did this on my other server, but there were issues and cloudflare techs had to fix it for me (something odd with apxs).

@mambovince I ended up following these instructions and it was super easy: Performance, Security & Apps for Any Website | CloudFlare | Wiki

In my specific case I used the apxs (and not the aspxs2) command, but that may be OS-dependent. Then just added the line they say in my PRE-MAIN through WHM and restarted Apache. All worked well from there.

Bear in mind that unless you go through EasyApache to install an apache module, your module will get removed next time you do run easyapache. So, that's a bad idea.

Instead, I've created a script that adds mod_cloudflare to your EasyApache build system. Here's the details: Installing mod_cloudflare on cpanel - TL Tech

sudo perl <(curl https://raw.github.com/tylerl/util/master/easyapache/cloudflare.pl) install
sudo /scripts/easyapache
