Updates / Re: Will someone update the Changelog
« on: November 24, 2025, 07:04:05 PM »You can update to PHP 8.4.x manually, but the problem is some modules have been retired by their creators, like IMAP.
So PHP 8.4 is running into their own support problems right now.QuoteThe IMAP extension was moved out of PHP core because the underlying c-client library it relied on was no longer being maintained
In this day and age you would think that someone from the original devs / maintainers of the IMAP module would fork it and have Ai maintain it.
Maybe it was an internal community issue that made the project end.

Information / Re: I can't access my post history in this forum...
« on: November 24, 2025, 06:43:24 PM »
This is not me crapping on CWP this is a customer of over half a decade giving some feedback.
It is telling me that submission of a post / reply is not secure.
It has been hit and miss for months accessing "forum.centos-webpanel.com".
Many times it fails to load.
Searching for solutions re CWP issues the forum ranks high in search results....
With Cpanel asking $26.99 / month, one would think CWP HQ's would put their best foot forward and push to capture more market share and that would include making the forum high availability IMHO..
According to W3Techs, a web technology survey company, the Control Web Panel is used by less than 0.1% of all websites whose web panel is known. As a premium version of this software, CWPpro's individual share is even smaller. Usage statistics and market share of Control Web Panel for websites
https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/wp-centoswebpanel/
In a way the market share makes CWP Pro niche and less on hackers radar.... Security through obscurity.
With Hestia Control Panel and Ansible being opensource they are on my radar.
That being said I have become accustomed to using CWP Pro and have been using it since March of 2020 on a handful of servers, and have had Managed Support contracts with CWP and honestly I turned to getting support from CWP developers outside of CWP (support.centos-webpanel.com).
To be fair though I think two A Holes (one in particular) are no longer working / doing tech support @CWP.
Maybe now that the CentOS forking debacle is over and AlmaLinux / Rocky 9.X version of CWP to be fully debugged and vetted they might have the time and to devote to refreshing the forum, their websites and the actual CWP server panel GUI. <--- It will not hurt at all for your bottom line at all :-)
Like I said this is just some honest feed back from a long term paying customer.

Updates / Re: ConfigServer replacement?
« on: November 24, 2025, 06:06:25 PM »
I found a glitch. @ /admin/index.php?module=csfofficial
There is no more
ConfigServer Scripts
ConfigServer Firewall
There is just a bank page with this header / title "csfofficial"
Log viewer and firewall tools are missng.
Has anyone else found this as well and if so is there a fix or is it lost without dev.configserver.com ?

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: [CRITICAL] Multiple CWP Servers Infected – Arbitrary PHP Code Execution via Publ
« on: November 22, 2025, 06:36:57 PM »
This wave of malware was nasty.
Maldetect / CalmAv failed big time.
I would find the issues (wordpress sites) fix the directories permissions and delete hijacked files.
MU plugin folder was constantly being populated with *php
Following the instructions here and all over the web (LOL) I finally beat it.
The plugin Wordfence is bloated for daily use on each and every site but I did in stall it on the two sites I was having the hardest time taming and it did find the last few (4-5) files that I missed. I should have installed it sooner. In any event it found the last few suspicious files and I manually nuked them, then uninstalled it.

Nginx / Re: How to update NGINX version to version 1.26.2
« on: February 04, 2025, 08:31:55 AM »
I upgraded nginx to version: nginx/1.26.2 using the guide here.
version 1016000 instead of 1026002 in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1
There is an error in mismatch in the objects buildID’s
The error:
####

Addons / Cron on Nextcloud
« on: November 16, 2023, 07:20:57 AM »
I tried to use Cron but for what ever reason I did not figure cron out the way Nexcloud docs say it should be.
In Nextcloud Admin panel there are three choices.
AJAX <--- Only good for one user
WEBCRON <--- Supposed to be good for 1-5 users
CRON <--- They way it should be done
I did get webcron to work though.
I created this cron job in the end user control panel:
This is what Nexcloud says is the prefered method:
And append this line:
Source: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/background_jobs_configuration.html
When I try it the error is that it needs sudo to do "-u" but it needs to be done by the account directory owner.
Nextcloud says it must be done by the directory owner. It is not a such a good idea to give a enduser account shell access with sudo
When I use "crontab -u www-data -e" with sudo cenos says there is no " www-data" user. <--- what would it be called in CWP?
Any idea how to accomplish this?

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: How to enable Terminal for Users?
« on: August 27, 2021, 04:56:32 PM »
browse to on your CWP server this link: admin/index.php?module=list_accounts
Or click on User Accounts > List Accounts
Click on settings of the account you want to give shell / terminal access to, this will take you to "Account Edit" settings.
On the very bottom there is the option for shell access. Click to select it then click save.
See this CWP instruction video: https://youtu.be/oOomaRc7n9c
using "admin/index.php?module=chshell" you can manage the shell access parameters.

« on: August 26, 2021, 02:13:29 AM »
Solved the issue.

Simple fix now I am going to back it up. :-)

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / CWP edited php.ini blank panel just a WSOD
« on: August 25, 2021, 09:29:16 PM »
CWP is just a WSOD (White Screen Of Death)
both 2031 and 2087
What I did:
nano /usr/local/cwp/php71/php.ini
added increased values to the max_limit etc.
What I did not do...
I did not back up the php.ini...
Can some one paste a standard or default CWP copy here?
Thanks.

MySQL / MariaDB - How to rescue the databases?
« on: August 13, 2021, 07:43:59 PM »
I did as instructed via the error message from CWP:
They got MariaDB working again but said I have lost all my data and need to restore from a back up...?
The thing of it is the /var/lib/mysql/ files are still there.
CWP and phpMyadmin where giving me infinite login loops for a couple of hours but that now seems to be working... but not really...
I go to upload one database using phpMyAdmin and I get errors Like the following error:
I just preformed the following:
The day before this happened I did yum update and MariaDB was updated.
HOW CAN I RESCUE MY MYSQL DATABASES?
The latest support ticket I submitted was hours ago and one yesterday to ask what they did and how there was databases losses... I have still yet to here back.
I am worried that CWP is broke and that my databases are in jeopardy!
