Web Application Firewall Server info

Hi,

In general, the recommended option that is pre-selected when you first see the firewall setup page should be correct.

Since the Server API shows “CGI/FastCGI”, your site most likely uses suPHP or CGI/FastCGI. These are similar, but suPHP has some differences — if suPHP is the recommended option when you visit the firewall setup page, that should be best.

(mod_php is when PHP is run as an Apache module and would have a different Server API, and LiteSpeed and nginx are two different webservers that can replace Apache.)

Hi there
i accidentally selected nginx, is there anyway i can go back to the original set up process described here and change the settings back to recommended ?

Thanks

Hi @walletfiber,

We have the steps to manually remove the firewall files here:

If you still have trouble and need more details, please make a new post using the form at the bottom of the Wordfence forum here. (The www.ads-software.com forum rules ask us to keep each person’s issues separate, and it also helps us keep track of open issues, so no one gets skipped in long posts.) Thanks!
