CentOS 7 Problems / Re: Clamav database update blocked by CDN

« on: October 09, 2025, 02:54:54 PM »

ELevate is not a recommended upgrade path; you will likely introduce issues into the new system (Sandeep [a CWP dev] advises against it). Better to bring up a new AlmaLinux 8 system and use the CWP Migration module to transfer accounts. That's the route I chose and so I have a fresh system with very little cruft moved over from the old system. Fresh 'n shiny!
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/578-does-it-possible-to-migrating-from-centos7-to-almalinux9-same-server-without-installing-to-new-server/

Ok thanks, i will have a look into it.

AL9 shows the same 1.4.3 version as AL8:

Code: [Select]

# clamd --version
ClamAV 1.4.3/27778/Tue Sep 30 08:29:52 2025
And @oversser is correct, there are No, None, Zilch, Zero, Nadda more updates for CentOS 7 since it's past EOL, and has been moved to the archive vault.

You need to update the server to AL8, if you want updates.

Ok thanks, yes i wanted to switch over to AL8 using this Elevate script but never did it till now.

I think it is really time to do it, i was worried if everything will work but now as a lot time passed by and you said it is working flawless i think it is the time to update.

Thanks a lot

CentOS 7 Problems / Clamav database update blocked by CDN

« on: October 07, 2025, 02:17:45 PM »

Hello,

since a few days i get an error mail every day because the automatic clamav update is no longer working:

ERROR: Database update process failed: Forbidden; Blocked by CDN ERROR: Update failed

Is there a new repository i should use or will there be an update to fix this?


The error seems to be because CWP7 is using an old and outdated clam AV -> see attachment terminal response:

Code: [Select]

[root@srv1 ~]# freshclam

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: CWP Security Center schedule automatic virus scan

« on: August 21, 2024, 05:14:36 PM »

Ok i think it is because there is no space in your command between virus-scan-report and -date.

will check it once the scan is done

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: CWP Security Center schedule automatic virus scan

« on: August 21, 2024, 05:01:30 PM »

Thank you, i think it is working, it is scanning now with the test scan you recommended.

One thing i recorgnized using a second window to check if the log is created:

With the command you gave to start the test scan the file really has this name: virus-scan-report-date +\%Y-\%m-\%d.txt

so maybe because the command has the date command in 'date +\%Y-\%m-\%d'.txt and because of the ' it is taken as a string but at least it is created, will check again when the scan is done.

Thanks

CentOS 7 Problems / CWP Security Center schedule automatic virus scan

« on: August 21, 2024, 02:00:43 PM »

Hi,

Is it possible to enable a schedule for automatic virus scan?

Everytime i look into the CWP Security Center it tells me last scan 1 Month etc. so this is every time i start the scan manually in the Security Center.

Is there a way to schedule it automatically or is the Security Portal just not recorgnizing the automatic scans?

Thanks

CentOS 7 Problems / the "listen ... http2" directive is deprecated

« on: July 14, 2024, 07:54:50 PM »

Hi,

since nginx 1.25 i have the following warnings in the log: the "listen ... http2" directive is deprecated

i know i need to change the listen http2 and add a new directive with http2 on;

but my question is, as we are now on nginx 1.26 and it is still in the logs, is this something i need to do in my configs or is it something the CWP updates should fix for us?



thanks

How to / Re: Preventing Access to wp-login and xmlrpc.php

« on: February 05, 2024, 06:05:58 PM »

if you already use wordfence you can install wordfence login security, this is an extension to wordfence and there is a checkbox:

Disable XML-RPC authentication

this is exactly what you want

E-Mail / Re: Server emails but using Hurricane DNS

« on: February 05, 2024, 06:00:08 PM »

if your domain hoster is hurricane and you use the hoster as DNS, you need to add the records there.

if you have port 53 (DNS) open and you are your own publishing DNS, you need to add it on CWP

you can simply update them on your own using the following command:

dig +bufsize=1200 +norec NS . @a.root-servers.net > /var/named/named.ca

Backup / Re: download backup

Yes it can be problematic to download large files from cwp over browser.

It is better to download your backup using FTP/SFTP

E-Mail / Re: Issues with "ALL" Gmail

« on: December 21, 2023, 07:11:01 PM »

If a video I just watched, you can register ns1 and ns2 for your domain name by clicking on Management Tools -> Register Glue records

add ns1  ->  Your server IP
add ns2  ->  Your Server IP

Next go to your domain.  Change the nameserver to ns1.yourdomain.com  and ns2.yourdomain.com

Finally.  In CWP Root.  Goto DNS Functions -> Edit Nameserver IPS

Change those to NS1 and NS2 of the domain you just did in freenom, and don't forget to change the IP's to your servers IP As well.   

Once your main domain resolves, you can safely change the nameservers of every other domain hosted on your server

Hi, may i ask you a thing about using the own dns servers?

I am actually not using my own dns servers and add all records to my domain hoster, it is working well for me but the reason i did it that way is because i thought if i wanna use my own dns servers, i need to open port 53 in/out and this could be a risk because everyone could use my DNS servers.

Am i wrong with this thoughts or would i really need to open port 53?

Thanks

DNS / Re: rDNS is required to match the hostname of CWP

« on: December 12, 2023, 07:10:53 PM »

i would say, for 95% of the people the rDNS is NOT the same as your hostname, because rDNS is something you will get from your ISP and nothing to set on your own.

E.G if you check google, the MX is called
smtp.google.com

But the rDNS or PTR Record is:
mail-ve1eur010036.inbound.protection.outlook.com

This is not the same

also mine is not the same, all i need to do for CWP to make it work is to manually change the name in the postfix main.cf
and change the following line manually to my rDNS name because CWP default wants to set it the same as the hostname


myhostname = RDNSNAME
