After install the ModSecurity Web Application Firewall for Apache no button for manageing module is displayed in plesk.
Installation was successful. How can I repair the button in plesk / webbased manage mod_security?

Thanks! Bob

Hi bob231,

1) Can you see ModSecurity in list of installed components?
Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades > Add or Remove Components



2) Can you see ModSecurity management link on the server's home page?

 

[bob231]

Just see the first one, second one is not displayed in panel

 

[bob231]

Ive try reinstall again and again, still installation said it succeed. What can I do to make this work in panel as well? Thanks by forward

You might have to go to your parallels store and download the key for that install and re-upload it. I installed fail2ban and while it installed I could not see the button on the panel until I did that.

bob231,

It is possible that you are using Plesk installation with customization, acquired from Parallels Partner Central, https://parallelsnetwork.com/

If it is true, then some Plesk features could be disabled:

No offense Alexey. It's what I mentioned above. It happened to me with fail2ban. Download your key and re-upload it. You will be fine. I was told the same thing.

 

[bob231]

Thanks for suggestions. Ive reinstall license key, uninstall and install again, still no succes. Ive try fail2ban as well, this one is displayed in panel after installation so problem only effect mod_security here.
What could i try anymore to solve this problem?

 

[bob231]

By the way, im using a plesk license for plesk inside virtuozzo from the partner Proserve. As said in license detail page everything seems to be fine

 

[bob231]

Is it possible activate / setup modsecurity by commandline?

 

[bob231]

Still not find a solution. Any support for solving this problem would be marvelous

bob231,

There is a CLI utility for this
http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-unix-cli/37785.htm#

show status
#plesk bin server_pref --show-web-app-firewall

enable in ON mode (so sec. rules are applied) with Atomic ruleset:
#plesk bin server_pref --update-web-app-firewall -waf-rule-engine on -waf-rule-set tortix

When I ran "plesk bin server_pref --update-web-app-firewall -waf-rule-engine on -waf-rule-set tortix" I got this message:

"The security core features (ModSecurity and Fail2Ban) are not available due to license restrictions."

So, I re-installed the license key.

I then immediately saw the ModSecurity configuration options.

Thank you!!
