PHP Selector / Re: Unable to compile ANY version with PHP Switcher and Selector / FPM selector

I'm always glad to help, too -- but my familiarity is with CentOS 7 and AlmaLinux 8 systems. So best to let Starburst field this AL9 oddity.

AlmaLinux 9 ISOs vary in size, but never seen an image that small (500G?):
Boot - 1.1G
Minimal - 2.2G
DVD - 11G
You could be missing a big chunk of required/recommended kit!

PHP Selector / Re: Unable to compile ANY version with PHP Switcher and Selector / FPM selector

Interesting -- I've only heard of it failing on EL8 up to this point (an AlmaLinux 8 system and a CentOS 8 Stream system). So your experience opens the door to there being unmet dependencies in EL9 distributions (AlmaLinux), whereas that hasn't been the experience of Starburst. So it must be dependent on how the system was installed/configured. Did you install with an ISO (boot, minimal, DVD) or with a host-provided image?

Aplications / Re: WordPress - too many redirects
« on: September 12, 2025, 06:39:45 PM »
Apache? You could try a clean .htaccess file (move aside your current .htaccess).
Are you 301 redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS? Are you using Really Simple SSL? https://really-simple-ssl.com

CentOS 8 Problems / Re: PHP 8.1 8.0 7 Not able to install and compile in Centos 8 (Free CWP)
« on: September 11, 2025, 01:25:13 PM »
Sadly this seems to be an ongoing bug with CWP (either free or Pro versions). There is a workaround mentioned in this thread where you capture the temporary PHP build script and run it manually in the CLI and then it will complete successfully:
https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/php-selector/unable-to-compile-any-version-with-php-switcher-and-selector-fpm-selector/msg51725/#msg51725
But the php-fpm Selector in CWP Pro does work -- so if you purchase a license, php-fpm would work for you (and you get the performance benefits as well).

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
« on: September 10, 2025, 12:45:09 PM »
Wow, that's small. I have 1GB for /boot on my server:
You would probably need to use GParted (or another similar tool) to resize the partition, as long as the partition is not mounted (so ideally using a GParted Live boot media). The main concern in this case would be another partition located immediately after the /boot partition, which would have to be shrunk in size. This could take a long time if the starting point of the partition needs to be shifted. (Repeat: always make a backup before modifying partitions that contain important data...)
Code: [Select]
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 1014M 283M 732M 28% /bootDo a full backup before proceeding.

MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?
« on: September 10, 2025, 10:52:35 AM »
Seems to be a bug or by design -- my servers (running 11.4.
report 15.2 in the dashboard as well. (And yes, the MySQL nomenclature is deprecated as well -- in future versions it will always be referred to as mariadb -- all binaries and tools.)

MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?

And just to reassure you, Sandeep over at AlphaGNU is a CWP developer, so he is offering you good advice if you choose the 10.11.x upgrade. As he confirms at the beginning of his guide, you are simply removing the MariaDB server & client applications, not your DB info. So you should only be facing 2-5 min of total downtime with your sites as you execute the upgrade process.

On a production server, I usually only keep 2-3 kernels (usually 2 -- I am stingy).

It's your choice to use either 10.11.x or 11.4.x -- both are LTS versions and both are suitable for use with CWP in a production setting. Here is a guide for updating EL7, EL8 or EL9 distributions to 10.11:

(I was using 10.11 on my servers up until recently when Starburst assured that 11.4 offers full compatibility with CWP and full backwards compatibility with previous versions SQL syntax.)

Updates / Re: Will someone update the Changelog
« on: September 08, 2025, 02:14:32 PM »
CWP's EL9 support is in beta. You just have to forgo CWP Migration and cgroups support, otherwise it's perfectly stable and works well in production.
CWP's value proposition is good enough for me to overlook some cultural differences and lack of communication from the devs. I am generally self-supporting, so I should be good till the end of the decade. Maybe then I'll survey the landscape, but so far free panels seem buggy and incomplete, and every other commercial panel seems to be at a similar price point, so you may as well go back to cPanel (which to me has developed a big case of feature-itis). Certainly for now, I'm content here with CWP.

Yes, 20% free disk space is a good operating rule of thumb. I would clear large files, particularly ballooning log files:
