cPanel : "The Exim database is most likely corrupted and the following steps should be followed"

If you are seeing the following error in the exim logs, you will need to reset the exim databases.

“The Exim database is most likely corrupted and the following steps should be followed”

To reset exim’s database of retry, reject, and wait-report_smtp attempts on cPanel, I find the safest way is to run the following commands.

/usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim retry > /dev/null /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim reject > /dev/null /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb -t 1d /var/spool/exim wait-remote_smtp > /dev/null service exim restart

I’ve noticed that since upgrading cPanel to v68.0.28 our ModSecurity Vendors have dropped off, and no longer available in the interface, and the rules are no longer available for Apache.

When trying to add the OWASP Ruleset (Vendor) back, I get the following error message.

Error:The system experienced the following error when it attempted to install the “OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set V3.0” vendor: API failure: The system could not validate the new Apache configuration because httpd exited with a nonzero value. Apache produced the following error: httpd: Syntax error on line 208 of /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 32 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsec2.conf: Syntax error on line 29 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsec/modsec2.cpanel.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/modsec_vendor_configs/OWASP/modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf: No such file or directory
