Bad day for alma

So I installed alma8 3 times today.  Each time when I went to login to the contol panel I entered the password that I used to install cwp....you know the same old password that I have been using for years.  And it wouldnt work.  Now mind you that it did work perfectly when logging into putty to install cwp.  And it still works if I login in to putty.  So I figured out I can change the root password and both putty and cwp will work.    No cap locks wasnt on.

And each time, CSF was not installed.  uggg

And each time, php 5.6 was installed as default.  I even tried the -r yes --phpfpm 8.1 option, and that didnt work either.

What a disaster.

We've been installing AlmaLinux 9.5, CSF/LFD installs OK.

Only problem we just found, which not sure if a problem or quirk, is with Logrotate.
And of course since the encryption has change with EL9, the Migration doesn't work currently.
