Migration from other control panels / CWP to CWP Migration (upgrading RHEL7 to 8) - What a mess!
« on: August 22, 2023, 09:56:57 PM »
I'm sharing this information for others who face a similar challenge.
Recently I migrated 3 CWP servers from RHEL7 to Rocky Linux 8.
What a mess!
If you upgrade from same host name to same host name (separate machines) the whole CWP to CWP migration process doesn't work since SSH keys can't be successfully exchanged, so we're off to manual mode.
Backed up all the accounts from old servers and then copied them to new servers.
Trying to restore those backups is clunky as the "NEW Backup (Beta)" - Restore Account requires a new directory to be created before it will see the backups... even though I put them into /newbackup and it was also there in the Restore area.
Restoring some backups just didn't work. The error was "Failed to restore backup" with no further information. Nothing in the logs.
Once you try to restore a backup once it often won't let you restore the same account again - even if it is deleted and directories are removed. I ended up restoring some accounts to alternat CWP servers just to get them working again.
Then PHP.... geez what a nightmare!
The PHP Switcher works fine, but the PHP Selecter and PHP FPM is a clunky mess.
Often when building PHP FPM, when complete I refresh the page and it shows nothing installed!
I won't discuss mod security not working properly, I just disabled it for the affected accounts which wouldn't even load their home page (plain index.html).
Yes I did reach out to Support. They told me to purchase a support plan. WTF.
Backup and Restore should work out of the box without dramas.
Disappointed.

Installation / IONCUBE challenges selecting specific version 11.x with PHP 7.4
« on: November 06, 2022, 02:02:31 AM »
Hi All,
I'm struggling to get ioncube working for a compiled application that runs on our CWP with CentOS 7.
The application requires ioncube v 11.x which is compatible with our PHP 7.4, however CWP wants to install ioncube v 12.0.2 being the latest release.
I've tried manually downloading and configuring ioncube loaders and then selecting 7.4.so and copying the files into applicable locations then editing php config files, but every time I restart httpd PHP still shows ioncube v 12.0.2 installed.
How do I configure a specific version of ioncube loader on CWP?
Many thanks
