Purchase one license per server and make sure your server\u2019s public IP is licensed. Keep your license credentials handy; you\u2019ll need them during installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-cxs-on-a-cpanel-whm-server-step-by-step\">Install cxs on a cPanel\/WHM Server: Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps below assume AlmaLinux\/CloudLinux\/RHEL family with dnf.

From CLI, run a recursive scan of \/home with report and quarantine enabled. Schedule nightly scans via cron for continuous coverage.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765469491541\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"can-cxs-scan-uploads-in-real-time\">Can cxs scan uploads in real time?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. Enable \u201ccxs Watch\u201d to monitor user directories via inotify and optionally hook into ModSecurity and Pure FTPd for pre delivery inspection. This is one of cxs\u2019s strongest features.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1765469508391\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \" class=\"rank-math-question \" id=\"how-do-i-reduce-false-positives\">How do I reduce false positives?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Start with report only mode, review detections, and whitelist specific safe paths or patterns in \/etc\/cxs\/cxs.ignore.
