That's a great idea, I will do that next time.

Overall the CWP product is good, it's just lacking in some key areas that would really make life easier.

Backup and restore should work out of the box. If there are issues it should show what the issue is, not "an error occurred".

I'm sharing this information for others who face a similar challenge.

Recently I migrated 3 CWP servers from RHEL7 to Rocky Linux 8.

What a mess!

If you upgrade from same host name to same host name (separate machines) the whole CWP to CWP migration process doesn't work since SSH keys can't be successfully exchanged, so we're off to manual mode.

Backed up all the accounts from old servers and then copied them to new servers.
Trying to restore those backups is clunky as the "NEW Backup (Beta)" - Restore Account requires a new directory to be created before it will see the backups... even though I put them into /newbackup and it was also there in the Restore area.

Restoring some backups just didn't work. The error was "Failed to restore backup" with no further information. Nothing in the logs.
Once you try to restore a backup once it often won't let you restore the same account again - even if it is deleted and directories are removed. I ended up restoring some accounts to alternat CWP servers just to get them working again.

Then PHP.... geez what a nightmare!

The PHP Switcher works fine, but the PHP Selecter and PHP FPM is a clunky mess.
Often when building PHP FPM, when complete I refresh the page and it shows nothing installed!

I won't discuss mod security not working properly, I just disabled it for the affected accounts which wouldn't even load their home page (plain index.html).

Yes I did reach out to Support. They told me to purchase a support plan. WTF.
Backup and Restore should work out of the box without dramas.

Disappointed.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I am aware of how to install the *latest* ioncube loader, however I have an application that is compiled using v11 which does not work with v12.

I've just heard back from CWP Support and they confirm it is not possible to run an older release of ioncube with CWP as the update process always uses the latest release.

So the application has been broken for 2 days.

This morning I re-enabled the hook files in WHMCS for the module and it suddenly started working.

I have no idea why because I am running the same config and ioncube v12 which failed previously.

Hi All,

I'm struggling to get ioncube working for a compiled application that runs on our CWP with CentOS 7.

The application requires ioncube v 11.x which is compatible with our PHP 7.4, however CWP wants to install ioncube v 12.0.2 being the latest release.

I've tried manually downloading and configuring ioncube loaders and then selecting 7.4.so and copying the files into applicable locations then editing php config files, but every time I restart httpd PHP still shows ioncube v 12.0.2 installed.

How do I configure a specific version of ioncube loader on CWP?

Many thanks

BeDazzler.
