CSF Firewall / Re: Continued CWP support with new CSF fork

« Last post by Starburst on January 06, 2026, 09:55:27 PM »

A developer named Aetherinox has forked CSF, and is actively supporting it, along with updates for CWP.

Please see the following KB, if you would like to update to this new fork and version:

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

If you can, please support him also.

I am currently running v14.24 - can i go straight to this?

Thanks

Yes, you can.
But if you have any CSF files locked with chattr, you just need to unlock them first.

Everything went fine up to the last csf -v:

[root@viking csf]# csf -v
                                                                       
    INFO               ConfigServer Security & Firewall     
                       v15.08 (CentOS Web Panel)
                       License: Invalid
                       Stable Channel | Insiders Channel


  LOCALINPUT  all opt    in !lo out *  ::/0  -> ::/0  
    INFO               Initializing csfpost script /usr/local/csf/bin/csfpost.sh
    INFO               CSF web interface disabled; skipping.

Yea, CWP doesn't understand color codes. :/
This is fixed in 15.09 when it comes out.

Yes, you should be able to go from the closed source (14.24) to the open source version (15+).

Starburst, have you at all dabbled with the other major CSF fork, Sentinel Firewall?
https://github.com/sentinelfirewall/sentinel

1. Yes, you can follow the upgrade guide on the KB to go from 14.24 to 15.08

2. Yea, Sentinel is being maintained by some cPanel admins, and is their primary focus.
As such, they aren't too worried about other panels or OS'es.
Where I asked Aetherinox to support AL10.
Also gave him a CWPpro license for testing.

Migration from other control panels / Re: Problem when unzipping the file

Seems as though the solution is in the other thread you posted to. Too bad this bug from 2018 is still lurking around!

Should we move the contents inside "cp" folder?

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: Can't Get CentOS 9 to Serve Any Content Except Test Page

And to be sure, your DocumentRoot is correctly set? And your DirectoryIndex is set to look for index.php? Personally, I remove index.htm and make sure index.php is the first hit, then index.html is the secondary possibility.
