500 error - unregistered applications

[Cloud9]

In WHM i have config server modsec control as an app

I get a 50 error as ist not a registered app in ACL

Rather than turning this off how do i register the app CFS Modsec control

Hello,

You can register your app in ACL through following command

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig /cgi/addon_modsec.cgi

Please check : AppConfig

Thanks - The bit i was missing was add-on_modsec.cgi

Where do you find that info out ?

Hmm

When i type your code in i get

The 'conf_file' must be readable and a plain file.


/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig: Summary

This tool allows you to install an appconfig file an ensures that it is
registered with the system and available for use. For more information
please see the documentation for this system:

http://go.cpanel.net/appconfig

Example usage:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig <conf_file>

Okay, Try to create file addon_modsec.conf in /var/cpanel/apps directory with the following code

# name
name=addon_modsec

# Service that will serve this app
service=whostmgr
 
# Physical path: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/Foo.php
# Literal URL path: $server:$port/$cpsession/3rdparty/Foo.php
url=/cgi/addon_modsec.cgi
 
# System user to run process as
user=root

# Required acls
acls=any

# Display name as show in the service ui
displayname=addon_modsec

Once you add this try to run following command

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig addon_modsec.conf

There is already this file

modsec.conf in /var/cpanel/apps

?

- - - Updated - - -

Which contains

name=modsec
service=whostmgr
url=/cgi/addon_modsec.cgi
user=root
displayname=Mod Security
entryurl=addon_modsec.cgi
acls=any
upgradecall=/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/addon_modsec.cgi

Have you tried to run following command

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig addon_modsec.conf

Have you tried to run following command

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_appconfig addon_modsec.conf

Yes - see post 3

Same result

ConfigServer ModSecurity Control should be able to register itself.
I'd suggest you uninstall it and then reinstall and it should be fine after that.

I could do that but have found in the past that doing such can break things and cause me more agro - at present modsec is working just fine - surely there is some way to get this app registered ?

You can run Configserver Script Updater:

Hello

ConfigServer's update should register the application in this case. You can find more information on the the cPanel application configuration process at:

cPanel - AppConfig

Thank you.
