  3. Look for any of these entries to see if they are installed.

     • ConfigServer Security & Firewall
     • ConfigServer Mail Queues
     • ConfigServer Mail Manage
     • ConfigServer ModSecurity Control
     • ConfigServer Explorer
     • MailScanner Front-End

     Please note that you can use the WHM search box and type configserver or one of the short names above to find them quickly.

• Option B. Using SSH

  1. For CSF:

     ls /etc/csf

  2. For free scripts:

     ls -1 /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/configserver

  3. Commercial scripts may be installed in different locations. Refer to your internal documentation or vendor installation notes. You can also confirm installation by looking for their entries in the WHM UI.
