Hello , I am running a cPanel based dedicated web server , hosting only my personal websites I am using nginxcp as a reverse proxy to httpd i have installed PyxSoft antimalware plugin , apparently as it is stated on their website that this plugin does not work with either nginx or litehttpd , but i suspect they mean that the only web server that is running is either nginx or lighthttpd although when i log into the plugin panel it shows " HTTP Scanner Status: failed" is there is a way around this ? because i'd like to have pyxsoft antimalware to scan uploads to my server is it even possible to have an InspectFile directive in httpd while working in reverse proxy mode ? Thank you

If nginx is configured as reverse proxy (as nginxcp.com do) you can easily run mod_security, CXS or any Apache addon. You just need to update Apache port to 8081 to your addon if the addon don't detect Apache port automatically.

Hello , Thank you for moving the post to the right forum >> If nginx is configured as reverse proxy (as nginxcp.com do) you can easily run mod_security, CXS or any Apache addon The thing is , when i am running nginx as a reverse proxy neither CXS , Anti malware works properly , I do not think that this is a problem with modsecurity rather than scanning the files before they reside on the disk for some reason i do not fully understand , When i removed nginxcp from the host , both CXS and Pyxsoft worked just find . Anyone has a solution for this ? Thank you
