Reinstall or repair Zamfoo Malware Protect

Before you start

You need root SSH access and the matching Malware Protect release from support. Wait for scans and cleanups to finish.

Steps

1. Finish current work.

   Let running scans and cleanups finish, or stop the scan and cancel the cleanup.

2. Back up the installation.

   Keep a copy of the plugin folder before replacing any files.

   tar -czf /root/zamfoo_malware-backup.tar.gz -C /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi zamfoo_malware

3. Restore the release files.

   Install the release files supplied by support into the same folder.

4. Repair maintenance.

   Reinstall the maintenance timer.

   bash /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/zamfoo_malware/deployment/install-timer.sh

5. Repair account reports.

   Re-register the WHM app and the cPanel Malware Reports page.

   bash /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/zamfoo_malware/deployment/install-account-portal.sh

6. Verify before resuming.

   Open Zamfoo Malware Protect, check the scanners and run a test scan.

What you should see

Malware Protect opens, the timer is active and your detections, reports and saved copies are still listed.

If something goes wrong

If a cleanup was interrupted, resume or cancel it in Detections & cleanup. Reinstalling does not restore deleted saved copies.
