To update cPFence across your servers using the WebUI:
- Navigate to Tools & Utilities → Update cPFence.
- Select a specific server or choose All Servers (No local) from the dropdown.
- Click Run cPFence Update.
Note: This tool cannot update the main control panel server directly. For that, use the CLI method below.
Method 2: Update via CLI
To manually update from the terminal, run the following command on each server:
cpfence --updateConfirm the prompt when asked. This will apply the latest software and malware definitions.
Automatic Updates
Automatic daily updates are enabled by default. If you are using standard configurations, no manual intervention is needed. However, manual updates remain useful for immediate fixes or during troubleshooting.
