ConfigServer Community Forum

Hello,

In an old installation of cxs, the cxs daemon cannot longer start cxs (Watch Daemon - cxs Watch is not running), and the message I get is
ERROR: Attempt to restart unknown service cxswatch

I have uninstalled and re-installed cxs but problem still exists. Any ideas what might cause this issue please?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I am currently having issues with spammers gaining access to some of my websites. They are uploading spam scripts but cxs is not detecting them? How can I configure CXS to pick up these new spam scripts as it is causing major issues with regards to my servers getting blacklisted for spam!

Thanks

We have cxs and configserver running on a server and received the following from abuseeat.org. I am running the latest versions. Any recommend way to track down this script? I have grepped all files in /var/log/ but have found no occurrence of the IP 87.255.51.229 listed. The system runs Apache in ruid2 so php processes are ran at the user level. Is there anything in the latest cxs to cover...

Hi

I am BRAND new to cxs. I just installed it and am doing a scan. I found that a clients .htaccess was flagged and quarantined, which is breaking parts of their website. the .htaccess is huge and appears to contain many valid statements... my question is how can i determine if a quarantined item is malicious or a false positive. one particular example shows me this:

Reason: Known exploit =...

If i will buy it, and if i have to change the server, then can i apply for to change the ip of license? or i will lose the membership.?

Hello

I have 2 servers with the same configuration, with the same install of cxs.
Server1 is sending admin mails on every issue, like somebody try to upload an infected file or an user add a folder with 777 permissions.
Server2 does not send emails... I did research but can't found the solution... Is there a hidden option to enable/disable admin mails or what?

thank you

Hi,

I got two questions:

Questions #1
I get this error when restarting the Watch Dameon:
/etc/init.d/cxswatch restart
Stopping cxswatch daemon:
Starting cxswatch daemon:/etc/init.d/cxswatch: line 44: /etc/cxs/cxswatch sh: Permission denied

So how do I fix this?

Questions #2

I installed ClamAv thru Cpanel or should I uninstall and install it manually. So how or what do I do for Part 6 of the...

Hi Everyone,
Where are scan logs stored on the server please?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this type of script/software and had a few questions, when installed out of the box and when the cxs Watch Daemon - cxs Watch is running does this automatically scan all files?

If not, how do I set that and what is the command pleasing?

Also, if anyone could post commands for other functions like setting up Cron jobs, etc. would be really helpful.

Thanks

Hello,

CXS Deleted all files is encoded php.

What do i do?

I have a customer with a 6GB cpanel account that I have had to restore a few times recently. Both times, the server nearly crashed, as the load approached 120! On the 3rd restore, I finally figured out what the problem... it was cxs scanning all the files being restored!

To solve the problem I did the following:

Went to Service Monitor in WHM and temporarily disabled monitoring of cxswatch....

I just need to put some files in the cxs.ignore file but I'm a noob at regexp so please, help me build the specific regexp for the following:

a. Needed pfile: regexp#1: (specific filename WITH specific extension, REGARDLESS of path)
/untgz.php

b. Needed pfile: regexp#2: (specific filename, REGARDLESS of extension, REGARDLESS of path)
/thisismyfile.*​

For the past hour I have been flooded with tens of such emails from cxs. In the email it refers to a non existing file on the server,(I believe a bot is searching for exploitable scripts on the domain.) as the upload path ( each different path on each email) and the file does not exist. however cxs states that the file has been quarantined. How is this possible if the hacker cannot upload any...

Hi,

We've been running into this issue for at least the last year now, and it appears the old post regarding this issue has disappeared, so I figured we would bring it back to your attention.

We run cPanel on all of our servers, we have CXS on about 10-15 of them. Sometimes pure-ftpd will randomly stop functioning for no apparent reason. The process will be running, but trying to connect will...

For some reason I'm constantly getting hit hard from obsmtp dot com which is a Google IP address. One of the matching IP addresses is 68.18.3.39. I want to completely block anything from 64.18.0.0 and on. Would the correct way to input that into my deny config file be like this?

68.18.0.0/32

Update:
I think I was able to get it.
68.18.0.0/16 I believe blocks all from 68.18.*.*

Got an odd problem on the last server you guys set up.

The cxs daily cron will sometimes just hang and prevent the logrotate process from running. I'll notice it when I receive an email that /var is running out of drive space, due to logs growing in size.

If I kill the cxs cron, then logrotate will run. I've noticed this happening about 3 or 4 different times since last december. Just noticed...

I am using cxs v 4.14. I am editing the cxs Watch configuration via the WHM plug-in, under Configure cxs Watch

In that file, it shows my options as: --options mMOLfSGchednWDZR

After saving, I am clicking Restart cxs Watch .

When I receive a cxs Scan alert email, it shows in the SCAN REPORT my options as: --options mMOLfSGchexdnwZDRu

As you can see, they do not match.

What am I doing wrong?...

Hi Jonathan,
yesterday a hacker managed to ftp to a compromised password on a customer and uploaded a few modified files that he downloaded previously.

All the files are java scripts with the extension .JS, I have checked the code and added the code to the xtra file, using REGALL but CXS is not checking the .js files and the files are not quarantined.

What is the best approach to check .js...

first, cxs is awesome... incredible... like finding REAL NY PIZZA IN GEORGIA USA

--if i could.....

ok, i have a web cam for our studio

we use secure ftp

i have the program uploading a multiple camera single jpg image every 10 seconds

I keep getting this error.

WARNING: Quarantine disabled - Directory has incorrect permissions , run cxs --qcreate --quarantine /home/quarantine

I have moved the old quarantine directory elsewhere and ran cxs --qcreate --quarantine /home/quarantine but continue to get the error. I have also just tried chmod 0755 on the quarantine directory to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Eric
