How to temporarily disable Imunify360 service?

I am running a website and getting a “503 Service Unavailable” error with the message: The server is temporarily busy, try again later!

I believe Imunify360 might cause the issue, and I want to temporarily disable it to see if the problem is solved. How can I stop the Imunify360 service and start it again later?

I am using a CloudlLinux server with Cpanel.

Run the following command to stop the Imunify360 Service:

systemctl stop imunify360

Once you’re ready to enable it again, run the following command to restart the service:

systemctl start imunify360

If you want to check the status of the Imunify360, run the following command.

systemctl status imunify360

Note: Websites on a cPanel server with Imunify360 may get errors like that. Just by disabling PHP Immunity can solve this problem.

  1. Log into WHM as root and navigate to “Home / Plugins / imunify360”.
  2. Click the gear icon to enter Settings.
  3. Select the Malware tab.
  4. Uncheck the “PHP Immunity” checkbox.
  5. Click the “Save Changes” button.
