Requirements:

Follow the steps below for installation:

First, we access our server as root.

Then we download the latest version of CMC (ConfigServer Modsecurity Control) and use the commands below to extract the file.

cd /usr/src
rm -fv /usr/src/cmc.tgz
wget http://download.configserver.com/cmc.tgz
tar -xzf cmc.tgz
cd cmc
sh install.sh
rm -Rfv /usr/src/cmc*
After the installation is completed, you can see the ConfigServer ModSecurity Control management area under the "Plugins" section in the WHM panel.

If you want to uninstall the installation, you can use the commands below. Root permission is required again.

cd /usr/src
rm -fv /usr/src/cmc.tgz
wget http://download.configserver.com/cmc.tgz
tar -xzf cmc.tgz
cd cmc
sh uninstall.sh
rm -Rfv /usr/src/cmc*
