Information / Would this install work?

« on: October 29, 2024, 03:17:26 PM »

I have been using CWP pro at home for a number of years. I recently retired and want to maintain my brain cells a bit longer so I want to do more with my home server than just host a few wordpress sites.

At the moment this configuration fits my needs - need advice on if it will work and any likely problems. I don't really want to move to TrueNas to do this;

At the moment I'm thinking ALmaLinux 9.4 + CWP + Next Cloud + Jellyfin

Ideally (in order of preference) I want to celibately edit & sort photos, Download old TV & Video to stream in the house, host wordpress and anything else is a bonus.

Hardware is just an old i7 HP Envy tower with decent GPU & Ram, 2 matched HD, 2 SSDs

Addons / Centos 8 - Node.JS - Rocket.Chat

« on: January 06, 2024, 01:17:33 PM »

I noticed a Node.JS manager, can this be used to add Rocket.chat to the server? if so does anyone have a tutorial on how to get that done? I really would like to use it and don't have another server.

Installation / Viewing Web Content on Private IP

« on: August 01, 2019, 03:12:51 PM »

My main server has served me well for 5 years now - I have ten wordpress sites on it.

I'm about to move house so thought it an ideal time to update the server. So I've copied all the data on to an new install of CWP on a new machine, I've imported the databases and create all the domains.

However I want to test the wordpress sites work before I switch the IP address to the public IP. I want everything right before I do this switch. So any advice on how I can view these site on the local network IP address?

Apache / Change IP now no vhost

« on: March 16, 2019, 06:28:16 PM »

First I need to say my server runs on a local network - can't afford hosting at the moment - for that reason I often have to change the shared IP address when my internet provider change the web facing IP on the router - this is also the reason my I can't upgrade to PRO

I've change the IP a few times but today I had a problem, I'm now getting "You don't have permission to access / on this server." on all my domains accept the base domain which works.

I've tried everything to resolve this, I don't run Mod security  so it's not that. I'm ran the permissions fix.

Anyone any ideas? this thing has been running for month fine before I made this change.

CentOS 7 Problems / End of system activity file unexpected - Can't login

« on: March 19, 2018, 09:59:39 AM »

Had this error via email overnight and now can't login to the server admin or any of my wordpress sites, although the sites are still working. I assume it's something to do with disk space but shouldn't be. Would appreciate any help people can offer.

Installation / Moved server problems

« on: October 12, 2017, 09:43:43 AM »

I've had a server setup on my home internet for a while now. I've had to move house and now using a different intermet provider so had to change the IP address. When I did this I couldn't get the vhosts working, all domains are going to the same page. The vhosts don't rebuild correctly, each time I choose rebuild the place the OLD ip address in the config file as below

Other / Removing HD from an array

« on: August 05, 2016, 01:35:17 PM »

I have a dedicated server at Hetzner, one of the drives is faulty and although they will replace it I need still need remove the old drive from the array and insert the new drive into the existing array.
On the face of it this is not a difficult job but I've not done it before and I'm having trouble removing the drive from the array. I could continue trying but I fear I'll put in a crap command as I'm dyslexic . So would much prefer it if I could find someone who does this often (I have ten sites on the server).

Anyone with experience of doing this ? here a run down of the problem for anyone interested.

Apache / Memory usage increasing over time.

« on: July 26, 2016, 03:12:07 PM »

When I start my server and it's been running for an hour or so it's using;

Memory RAM (with Cache): 2.58GB / 32GB
Memory RAM (NO Cache): 1.49GB / 32GB
Number of processes: 234

After 20 days it's using 27gbs of ram and over 350 processes are using. This seems a gradual increase as I've watch it creep up day by day. Question is;

Should I be concerned and if so how can I find the problem and solve it.

CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
Apache version: Apache/2.2.27
PHP version: 7.1.0-dev
MySQL version: M
FTP version: 1.0.36
CWP version: 0.9.8.36
I don't run av or spamass because I don't use the email server. I also shutdown ftp when not in use.

Installation / Varnish + Wordpress config ?

« on: July 08, 2016, 07:42:34 PM »

Has anyone managed add any configuration to Varnish and restart it ?

For example I want to add the standard setting to take cookies out the cache but the server doesn't start with this in the default.vcl

# Remove the wp-settings-1 cookie
set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "wp-settings-1=[^;]+(; )?", "")
;

# Remove the wp-settings-time-1 cookie
set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "wp-settings-time-1=[^;]+(; )?"
, "");

# Remove the wp test cookie
set req.http.Cookie = regsuball(req.http.Cookie, "wordpress_test_cookie=[^;]+(;
)?", "");

MySQL / Where do you configure mariadb?

« on: July 07, 2016, 08:20:02 PM »

I want optimise the database taking advantage of the memory on the server but when I use the link in CWP all I find is a blank file. When I add setting to this file and restart the database server it won't restart. Naturally this mean I also can't use CWP so have login via SSL to remove the setting.
