It is possible to have a little help on this ?

Config::General has been installed from the WHM
Proc::ProcessTable has been isntalled from the WHM
HTTPD of course its installed

Thanks for your time and support !

try installing the atomic repo

Code: Select all

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh | sh

then yum clean all and try again

Hi Hostingguy,

Same error ....

I got an email from the support team of ASL :

Those components are all required for ASL, and I believe that cpanel
implements those separately from the way the operating system vendor
does. What you should probably do is change to a rules-only subscription
and then manually integrate the rule feeds with cpanel.

We have a wiki page for doing that here, along with some basic rule
update utilities:
http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php ... rity_Rules

The other option, which is unsupported, would be to manually download
the ASL components from the yum repo and install them with rpm -Uvh
<packagename>.

Thanks,
-Support

I also get an email from Cpanel support :

Hi,

Looks like ASL requires httpd and mod_security which are a both installed thru easyapache and not from the OS vendor.

You will need to install the rules-only subscription and then manually integrate the rule feeds with cpanel as they suggested.

ASL is a 3rd party application not supported by cPanel and we are not familiar with this product

It look like its a mission impossibleto get ASL with Cpanel.

looks like easy apache is not making it very easy for you (forgive the pun) - but yuo can always try to download and install the RPMs manually and see what happens, reverting back if it doesnt work.

Also, you don't install ASL the way you are trying to install it. You must run the ASL installer, please see the installation instructions that should have been emailed to you when you signed up for ASL.

With that said, ASL should work just fine with cpanel - you can tell yum to ignore dependencies and then it wont try to install apache.

As started by the support team, the problem is that cpanel doesnt use the package management system of the system - so when ASL tries to install it looks for apache and assumes (correctly) that its not installed. We'll have to try and add in some kind of hack for cpanel (why cant they use the rpm database to show that apache is installed?).
