unable to uninstall CSF

Post by rowmind »

Hello,

In WHM I see a blank page with the title "ConfigServer Security & Firewall".
I cannot uninstall CSF as well. I get the error "sh: uninstall. sh: Too many levels of symbolic links".

Any idea to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

The simplest way to recover from a problem would be to:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src
rm -fv /usr/src/csf.tgz
wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
If on cPanel then run:

Code: Select all

sh uninstall.sh
If on DirectAdmin then run:

Code: Select all

sh uninstall.directadmin.sh
Otherwise run:

Code: Select all

sh uninstall.generic.sh
and finish with:

Code: Select all

rm -Rfv /usr/src/csf*
Then you can reinstall using the normal method if you wish to.
