Third party plugins interfaces are not displayed from WHM (cPanel 11.44)

[vipin]

Hello,

Today I have update cPanel server to new version (11.44) after updating i had tried to install CSF plugin but the plugin interface was not working from WHM >> Plugins page.In previous cPanel versions all plugins config files were saved in /var/cpanel/apps (Eg : /var/cpanel/apps/csf.conf) but in new cPanel release it is a file which is causing this problem.

Please see the errors encountered while registering CSF plugin.

I have just moved the file /var/cpanel/apps to another location and just created a directory with same name .Now i am able to install plugins without any issues.Is it safe/proper to do like this ?

Hello

"/var/cpanel/apps" should in-fact be a directory, and not a file. This is documented here:

Creating WHM Plugins
cPanel AppConfig

It looks like a custom plugin you installed may have mistakenly created "/var/cpanel/apps" as a file, which is not a valid method of registering an app.

Thank you.
