Hi,

some time ago we made some improvements for mod_security:

https://starburst.help/category/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/

, has anything changed or been deleted in these updates?

And in general what is current and healthy now, which version, which version of the rules, etc. and how was the current version checked?

Thanks in advance!

« on: August 03, 2026, 07:32:12 AM »

Hi,

thank you very much, I saw that doa 1.7 was updated...

Now I have another problem, the following messages appeared:

"CWP Security Audit - Unknown file
Unknown file: /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache"

and

"CWP Security Audit - Unauthorized port
Unauthorized port: php-fpm"

and separately in the message about the daily backup:

"/etc/cron.daily/cwp:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'intl' (tried: /usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl (/usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl.so (/usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0"

Hi,

Almost always when I log in as root it tells me that there is a new version of the panel, but when I select it it doesn't update, the version stays at 1.6, what should I do and is this normal? I use AL 9.6...

Updates / AlmaLinux 9.8 & ImageMagick

« on: July 22, 2026, 08:23:28 AM »

Hi,

I tried to update AlmaLinux 9.8 which is highly recommended to periodically update the operating system and its security libraries and I used dnf clean all and dnf update -y. The first command worked, but when I started the second one it gave me at least ten error lines and all of them related to ImageMagick...

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

CSF Firewall / Re: CSF Auto Update Re-Enabled v14.24 and v15.00

« on: February 25, 2026, 01:53:43 PM »

No the mirrors is no longer active as there are different upgrades available.

We have been working with Aetherinox fork.

You can see how to upgrade to this fork at:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/

In addition to our public KB, we have also setup support forums at: https://sysadmin.help

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still on the original CWP CSF, version 14.2.

What do I need to do to switch to the Aetherinox fork?

CSF Firewall / Re: Should we update CSF to V15??

« on: February 24, 2026, 04:03:45 PM »

Just follow Starburst's guide to update to CSF 15.08 (Aetherinox's fork):
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-08/

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but I'm now with the original CSF of the CWP, version 14.2. Shouldn't I follow one of these two instructions before following the instruction you provided:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/csf-firewall-gplv3-release-tweaked-for-cwp/

or

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/csf-firewall-error-oops-unable-to-download-no-host-option-provided/

or both?

and then the instructions you provided:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-08/

and I already saw that the following are also available:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/

Please tell me which one to follow and which one to follow after that...

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the answers here, but I've gotten distracted...

I'm now with AL 9.7, but with the original CSF of the CWP, and with version 14.2, I'm just asking for the links for:

1. Do I have to be on version 15 of the original CSF of the CWP to be able to switch to the CSF fork of Aetherinox??
A link to switch from version 14.2 to version 15.0 of the original CSF of the CWP...

2. And the link to switch from the original CSF to the CSF fork of Aetherinox...

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

thank you very much for the reply..., as far as I can tell, they are fake...

The question is that I deleted them, and today they appeared again, the same two messages. Should I do something?

Update the MongoDB PHP Driver
Often, this warning appears because of older versions of the mongodb extension or library. Ensure you are using the latest version of both:
Extension: Update via PECL:

Code: [Select]

pecl upgrade mongodbLibrary: Update via Composer:

Code: [Select]

composer update mongodb/mongodb

HI,

I did it, but...:

[root@hosting ~]# pecl upgrade mongodb
WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update
pecl/mongodb requires PHP (version >= 8.1.0, version <= 8.99.99), installed version is 8.0.30

I'm only familiar with MariaDB, not MongoDB.

Ok, and someone familiar with MongoDB
