whm-server-status forbidden

[Miguel G]

Hi,

Not sure if this is due to the recent WHM update from 56 to 58 or to the upgrade from EasyApache 3 to 4 but right now whm-server-status is forbidden.

If I check in the WHM web interface I can see the apache status but lfd is reporting that now the whm-server-status is forbidden. If I try from a ssh console I get the same error.

How can this be fixed? If I add the tweak settings the allowed IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and the IP address of whm/cpanel server the apache status tool from WHM reports nothing.

Before it was perfectly fine.

Thanks!

Adding more information, I have changed the Apache to port 82 (I already had with WHM 56 and worked fine).

I have Varnish running on port 80 and whm-server-status requests are forwarded to the Apache backend.

I have checked this thread Apache status not working after customizing port and I´m wondering if maybe this has become an issue with the new version?

I have changed in /etc/csf/csf.conf the LF_APACHESTATUS URL using the apache port for the time being

Hello,

I've seen instances where Mod_Security rules block access to that URL. Could you let us know the output from /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when this happens?

Thank you.

The only entries I see are the following:

AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/whm-server-status

Could you open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look? You can post the ticket number here so we can update this thread with the outcome.

Thank you.
