Error on ModSecurity™ Tools

[Masimo]

I have following error on "ModSecurity™ Tools":
Error: The following exception has occurred: API failure: The system could not read the modsec database password file “/var/cpanel/modsec_db_pass”:

NOTE: I using remote mysql server.

Hello

Please let us know if the following command addresses this issue:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/setup_modsec_db

Thank you.

 

[Masimo]

info [setup_modsec_db] Initialized ModSecurity™ database.

 

[cPanelMichael]

That's the output from the command. However, could you verify if the error message you reported is still visible?

Thank you.

 

[Masimo]

Yes, its still exists.

 

[cPanelMichael]

Could you verify if the "/var/cpanel/modsec_db_pass" file exists on this system? If not, please create this file:

touch /var/cpanel/modsec_db_pass
chmod 0600 /var/cpanel/modsec_db_pass

Then, populate this file with a single line containing a randomly generated password. Here's an example (note you should use your own randomly generated password):

# cat /var/cpanel/modsec_db_pass
RandomPassword

Then, update the password for the database to the one in that file:

mysql mysql

mysql> update user set Password=password('RandomPassword') where User='modsec';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit;
Bye

Thank you.
