Installation / Re: Problems installing CWP 8 with MariaDB
« Last post by Wonder on October 24, 2025, 04:59:16 PM »Hello,
Yes, it is indeed a genuine EL8 distribution, AlmaLinux8 in question.
I've installed a server, installed AlmaLinux 8 from scratch, and installed CWP from the official CWP repo (I'll do it later from the one mentioned by Startburst, but I wanted to note that we're using the official CWP repo and instructions).
After installing CWP and running a yum update, we have this:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/#comment-25
disabling cwp repo:
And the rest of the steps are perfect.
By the way, I've used both the one indicated in the URL and the one @starburst mentioned as repos with the same result; the problem isn't the mariadb repository.
Then, in a few hours, I'll run the same tests using the CWP installer created by @starburst and post them here.

« Last post by Starburst on October 24, 2025, 04:09:22 PM »
You are the one asking me to answer my own question... And again, not answering.... Dude....
cpanel envangelist I'm asking you to answer cHAp's original question they posted "When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?" with a solution.
But you can't , since you don't even use CWP.
You just post troll comments that are useless and everyone can see.
So again, FOCUS...

Also when you create the new MariaDB.repo for 10.11, make sure to use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for Distribution at:
https://mariadb.org/download/?t=repo-config&d=Red+Hat+Enterprise+Linux+8&v=10.11

« Last post by overseer on October 24, 2025, 01:35:50 PM »I too have seen this. (Hopefully you are on an true EL8 distribution such as AlmaLinux 8 -- not a beta OS like CentOS Stream.) CWP should default to MariaDB 10.11 LTS version in its installation script. 10.5 is woefully EOL. Starburst does have a patched EL8 install script that includes 10.6 as the starting point, after which you upgrade to 10.11:

PHP / Re: When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?
« Last post by djprmf on October 24, 2025, 08:38:52 AM »Ok, and now... anyone can answer the topic?
Using insults and nonsense doesn't answer a single question point made here. If you cannot answer anything just don't reply. Im here answering the questions of the TOPIC - both of you are coming here to insult and talk BS... and i am the "bad guy"?
is simple: prove me wrong. Talk to the topic, answer. And don't hide under a "cpanel envagelist" - really, is a little cringe that the only thing to answer to things is that.... that is called deflect the point, not answering.
And @Starburst, you specific, continue to attack as "cpanel envangelist"... and now i ask you: you have a hosting company, and a datacenter with multiple servers/clients. But you only provide CWP to them. Lets say that CWP cease development tomorrow.
What do you do?
You company probalby will enter in panic mode. So... why provide multiple control panels is a "bad thing"? I provide cPanel, as i provide CWP, Hestia, and many more. That is not a bad thing, is called diversification. If anything happens to one panel, i can adjust to other. That is not called "cpanel eenvagelist", is called think about the needs of the clients and the future.
yes, because i have clients asking specificly for cPanel, as i have to Plesk, CWP and others... Is that dumb to provide a panel that the clients want? If you don't, that is on you, but is not how i do business.
And cPanel does A LOT of things bad. Do you think that i consider cPanel perfect? From a company that only think about money and increase the licences every year?
And @6Sense, what that have to do with anything? Are we here to talk about how i do business or discuss about CWP?
What i do and how I do it doesn't matter at all... im not comparing companies or websites, and that have nothing to do with the point. So... what is your point then?
So, is just silly to continue to deflect the questions and topics made.... kindle stop being a kid and think!

Installation / Problems installing CWP 8 with MariaDB
« Last post by Wonder on October 24, 2025, 08:00:16 AM »This week I installed CWP 8 from scratch, and I had to do it several times on the same server.
My mistake for not noting and saving the error.
The error appears once installed. It installs MariaDB 10.5, and when you run a yum update, it gives a result similar to this (because I searched for it and it appeared):
Copied from other post but equal than my problem:

But it doesn't fix it. In my case, it never fixed it; I always had the same problem.
Finally, I was able to fix it (I don't remember exactly how; I was stressed because the production server had crashed).
Now, cwp detects two pending updates. I log in and none appear. Yum update indicates that neither does it. But I see that the latest kernel, although apparently installed, isn't activated even in GRUB. I'm not worried; it will be updated with the next kernel released.
The problem is mariadb in a clean install. I think the installation script should be changed. It's not easy to fix the problem of having version 10.5 and then having yum update not work.

« Last post by 6Sense on October 24, 2025, 12:34:08 AM »@djprmf We can see your website sweet cheeks. Stock WP install with a downloaded theme, out of the box plugins and lack of responsive design for a mobile device.
No offence but just saying I think we've all got a pretty good idea how prolific your business enterprise is. Your tech knowledge is appreciated but you may choose to drop the big man attitude. I'm sure we'll all get along better then.
