Installing on Webuzo

Webuzo is a versatile multi-user control panel for managing cloud and dedicated servers covering domains, emails, websites, databases, and web application deployments from a single interface. Despite its feature-rich environment, Webuzo doesn't ship with a built-in malware scanner or a fully configured WAF out of the box.

cPGuard fills that gap, providing multi-layered web security for Webuzo servers acting as the antivirus, antimalware, and firewall layer that Webuzo doesn't include natively.

What Is Webuzo?​

Webuzo is a multi-user web hosting control panel designed for cloud and dedicated server management. It simplifies the administration of:

  • Domains and DNS
  • Email accounts
  • Website file management
  • Databases
  • Web application deployments (via its one-click app installer)

It functions both as an end-user hosting panel and as a server management tool making it popular among hosting providers and developers who want a lightweight, flexible alternative to cPanel or Plesk.

How cPGuard Protects Webuzo Servers​

cPGuard integrates with Webuzo through its standard installation procedure, protecting the server across multiple layers:

  • Malware Scanner — continuously monitors website directories for threats
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) — blocks web attacks through ModSecurity rules
  • Automatic File Cleanup — removes injected malicious code from PHP and JS files
  • IP Reputation & Country Blocking — filters abusive and geo-targeted traffic
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) — allows Webuzo admins to jump into the cPGuard App Portal without separate login credentials

Step 1 : Install cPGuard on Webuzo​

Run the following command on your Webuzo server as root to download and execute the cPGuard installer:

cd /usr/local/src && rm -f cpguard_install.sh && curl -o cpguard_install.sh -L https://downloads.opsshield.com/cpguard/cpguard_install.sh && bash cpguard_install.sh LICENCE-KEY

Replace LICENCE-KEY with your actual cPGuard license key purchased from OPSSHIELD.

What the installer does:

  1. Downloads the latest cPGuard installer script
  2. Installs all required dependency packages for your operating system
  3. Applies the license key and binds the server to your cPGuard App Portal account
  4. Displays the App Portal login URL for your server (e.g. https://app.opsshield.com/server/0001)
note

The license key is mandatory. Without it, installation cannot be completed and the server will not be bound to the App Portal.

Step 2 : Access the App Portal​

Once installation completes, log in to the cPGuard App Portal using your OPSSHIELD client area credentials:

https://app.opsshield.com

From the server dashboard inside the App Portal, you can:

  • Navigate to Settings to configure all cPGuard modules
  • View Scanner Logs to see detected threats and actions taken
  • Access WAF Logs to monitor blocked requests
  • Check Stats for an overview of server security activity
  • Enable and manage Country Blocking, IP Reputation, and more
tip

Webuzo also supports Single Sign-On (SSO) with cPGuard — meaning Webuzo admins can navigate directly to the cPGuard App Portal from within Webuzo without entering separate login credentials. See the SSO guide for setup details.
