New server. Aside from the regular things I do when setting up I went ahead and changed to MariaDB. Works fine, but now I am noticing some user errors showing up. Example email alert : /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl: DBI connect('modsec:localhost','modsec',...) failed: Access denied for user 'modsec'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19. Unable to connect to mysql database at /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl line 19. I believe there to be quite a few of these as leechprotect was another I noticed. What is the issue here and where do I start correcting this? One would think since the change/update was done within WHM that this would be taken care of - no?

  Hello :) Could you verify which version of cPanel was installed on this system when you upgraded to MariaDB? The /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl file is not included in newer versions of cPanel. Thank you.

  I believe what happened was this plugin, as well as Fantastico, were part of the image used by my hosting company. With that said, I wouldn't mind some instructions on removing it and Fantastico as I would never use them.

  You can manually remove this file via the command line:
  rm /etc/cron.hourly/modsecparse.pl
  However, if you force an update of cPanel and run EasyApache, it should automatically remove this file (assuming an older version of cPanel is installed). Fantastico offers a guide on removing their plugin at: Netenberg Products - I think Fantastico F3 may be corrupted, how can I remove it completely so I can attempt to reinstall it? Thank you.
