MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?
« Last post by Andrew C on September 10, 2025, 06:43:59 AM »The web apps I'm running recommended mariadb 11.4 over 10.11 so I decided to go with 11.4.
I followed the instructions step by step and it installed fine - no observable errors so far.
All websites appear to be running normally but noticeably faster on the same hardware which is a bonus.
The only thing I have observed is that on the CWP dashboard the database is now reporting 15.2 and not 11.4. Whereas it was reporting 10.5.x before the upgrade. Do you observe the same thing on your servers ?
However the web apps correctly identify mariadb 11.4 and they appear to be working normally.
Thanks to everyone for your help.

« Last post by overseer on September 10, 2025, 12:57:49 AM »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.

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: yum/rpm updates not getting updated
« Last post by Starburst on September 09, 2025, 08:55:38 PM »On a production server, I usually only keep 2-3 kernels (usually 2 -- I am stingy).
I use to keep 3, but depending on the size of /boot, 3-4 seems to be the sweet spot.
(At least that's what she said)...

« Last post by Starburst on September 09, 2025, 01:05:46 PM »Just FOLLOW that guide Step By Step, and do NOT deviate from it, and you will be fine.
Nothing else needs to be done.
If you start deviating from it, then all hell will break loose, and you will corrupt your server.
That being said, you should always make a snapshot/backup of your server BEFORE any upgrades.

« Last post by Andrew C on September 09, 2025, 12:41:16 PM »Thanks for the mariadb upgrade instructions.
The first step is to remove the old version of the mariadb.
Before doing that surely the running websites on the cwp server need shutting down somehow etc... ? How can that be done easily ?
Or do you just follow the instructions step by step and remove mariadb with the website running ? That does not seem to be a safe way to proceed ?
Thanks.

« Last post by Starburst on September 08, 2025, 07:01:34 PM »The /boot is usually filled with too many Kernel versions.
Simple way to clean that partition up is with:
The above example will limit it to the current and 4 past kernels.

CSF Firewall / Re: CSF Auto Update Re-Enabled v14.24 and v15.00
« Last post by Wonder on September 08, 2025, 05:46:45 PM »I'm not sure what CWP plans are, CSF still lives as open source.
We had an international mirror network already setup for ELRepo, so it was semi-easy for us to add ConfigServer to offer auto updates.
v15.00 is the first release under open source, and removes the closed companies 2 download servers.
This article will advise you how to re-enable auto updates:

You can choose 2 download servers from our mirror list at:

First of all, thanks for your response, as always!
Sorry for the delay in replying. I didn't receive the notification email, and I've been short on time for everything these days.
With what you've said, I think I'm clear on this. I'm going to upgrade from 14.24 to 15.00 and activate Auto Update by following the link you provided. There are several mirrors, and it's perfect.
Thanks for the work!
