Apache / CWP is missing a2enmod, a2ensite, etc.
« on: August 12, 2024, 04:34:14 AM »
All the documentation says that if you have apache2 installed, these commands should be there in /usr/sbin.
I did all the due diligence of googling it first. Some said it was an issue with the PATH not including where these programs are. Not in my case -- on my server, they are completely absent. And yes, I have Apache2 installed.
I do know that CWP installs its own Apache2 and that, in fact, many times I have issues when updating software. I get this message "You might have installed Apache2 directly. Click here to fix this." Not quite sure what's happening there. BUT it does suggest that I need to resort to CWP about this -- it's not like I'm running a bare server that I can just install/uninstall Apache2 with no side effects, know what I mean? In short, I DON'T want to break CWP in the process.
So how do I resolve this? Missing this utilities is seriously hampering what I'm trying to do.

Installation / How to migrate CWP - CWP 2nd time for existing site?
« on: October 24, 2022, 06:27:44 PM »
I am setting up a new CWP server. Haven't made it the live server yet.
As part of my config/testing, I copied over all my websites. They all work great, 100%! Including SSL certificates.
HERE'S MY PROBLEM:
I did the test weeks ago. I need to do "the big switchover" which includes copying over the latest databases, files, etc.
For some simple sites I can just upload the changed files by FTP. But 2 of my sites are quite complex. I'd like to use CWP - CWP migrate feature, but I can't do that without deleting the sites first! And that would mean undoing the (manual) work I did to get SSL working.
Is there some way to "restore a backup" from another server, or something? Basically use a PART of the CWP-CWP migrate script/process? Because right now, there's a green checkbox and I can't check "Just update files please" or anything like that.
It seems to be a very useful, necessary feature.

Addons / How to install Mod XSendfile
« on: October 22, 2022, 05:27:06 AM »
Here are the instructions
https://tn123.org/mod_xsendfile/
But I can't run apxs because that would involve using the plain-vanilla Apache2 that comes with Alma Linux (etc.) rather than the one managed by CWP.
How do I install this simple module in Apache2?

Information / Best way to transfer settings from CWP to CWP?
« on: July 18, 2022, 09:52:38 PM »
I have CWP 7 installed on an existing server, and I'm upgrading to a new server. Replacing the old one.
Where are all the config files I need to copy over? When I make changes to the various menus, where are all those settings stored? In a database, or in some text file?
I'd like to do it via text/config files, rather than clicking a bunch of menus and doing it the long, slow way.
Again, I don't believe in magic. I click the left menu "CWP Settings" and the first item "Edit Settings". There are about 9 fields that can be filled in. WHERE IS THAT INFORMATION STORED? It has to be found somewhere on the hard drive. Google has been no help thus far. I've seen a few threads that talk about mail and MySQL config, but those aren't an issue. I am mostly looking for the config file(s) for CWP itself.
Thanks in advance for any help --
Matthew

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / phpMyAdmin disappeared from /pwa link
« on: March 31, 2021, 06:53:20 PM »
phpMyAdmin TOTALLY DISAPPEARED FOR ME about 10 days ago.
My link (I realize this only works on my local network -- it worked great before)
https://192.168.1.20:2031/pma/
Now gives a
404 Not Found
cwpsrv
Error.
phpMyAdmin was working FINE before. Did some update break it?
What logs can I look at, where can I check for the phpMyAdmin software, and how can I manually install or update it, so it comes back?
Please advise.

CentOS 7 Problems / All domains suddenly bring up landing page or 500 error
« on: November 22, 2019, 03:12:14 PM »
I haven't done a thing to my server. All the sudden, all of my websites bring up the "default" page in CentOS, or an internal server error (500)
Why?
Did some update to Apache or CWP break my system?
What should I look at to fix this? This is urgent, all my websites are down!
Here is from the error logs on one of my sites:

Information / Plans to support CentOS 8?
« on: July 25, 2019, 10:08:09 PM »
It looks like CentOS 8 is coming in the not too distant future.
https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8
Are there plans to make a CentOS 8 version of CWP?
Apparently CentOS 7 was first released 7 July 2014, so it's about time for another major release.

CentOS 7 Problems / Default page appears, even though account completely set up
« on: March 19, 2019, 05:58:21 PM »
I have all the files for one of my accounts uploaded to the site, and the Vhost is set up.
I set my local machine to go to 192.168.1.10 (local IP of my server) for the domain name mydomain.com
However, when I visit "mydomain.com" in my browser, it gives me the CentOS default page. Why isn't it directing such traffic to the account for mydomain.com which I set up in Apache?
Matthew
PS I verified that there is only ONE index file (index.php) available -- there is no index.html or index.htm in the home directory.

CentOS 6 Problems / Webpanel stubbornly wants me to install PHP-FPM - in all menus!
« on: March 18, 2019, 02:13:17 AM »
No matter what menu item I select in the webpanel, it brings me to the same screen!
High Performace WebServers Configuration
Do you want to install php-fpm?
(optional but highly recommended) PHP-FPM gives you the advantage to run PHP via php-fpm sockets with the highest performances!
You will still have the current setup like before but this will allow you to have an increase in performance.
* This step is NOT required and you can skip it or install PHP-FPM later.
This is insane. I tried to click on Manage Email Queue and many other items, and I can't access any of them, because the webpanel is somehow "stuck" on asking me about PHP-FPM. I don't want PHP-FPM, for what it's worth. I'm moving off this server, so it's not worth any risk.

Installation / CWP to CWP doesn't create MySQL databases
« on: March 04, 2019, 01:57:18 PM »
I just ran the CWP to CWP migration, and it seems like there are a couple of bugs
* MySQL databases are not created on the target machine
* Although the files seem to be there, when I go to "list accounts" it says it's using 0/100 KB.
The package definitions (for the user accounts) were moved over, so that is good.
Am I supposed to create the packages BEFORE I run the migration? Is there some issue with the system not knowing what rights to assign the new accounts?
Any advice is appreciated.
I can give more details -- just tell me what details you need.
Thank you in advance,
Matthew

Updates / Any updates to CWP 7 soon?
« on: February 19, 2019, 08:21:54 PM »
I notice on the Changelog page that CWP 7 hasn't been updated since the 9th of December.
Considering it's Feb. 19th, does that mean another update is coming out in the next few days?

Installation / Advice for migrating CWP 6 server to CWP 7
« on: February 11, 2019, 04:20:25 PM »
I've been using CWP on a physical (bare metal) server for about 3 years. My server is running the latest CWP version. For many reasons, I have decided to build a new server (upgrading in the process) and install CentOS 7 this time.
My current server:
Distro Name: CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
CWP version: 0.9.8.573
I have about 15 websites hosted. One of then needs an older version of PHP. Several sites use HTTPS. There are several e-mail addresses and forwarders, and about 10 MySQL databases.
I noticed that there is a CWP -> CWP migration feature. I will definitely want to look into this. Which things are brought over in this migration?
I'd also like to migrate as much of the system configuration as possible (Apache config, current list of blocked IP addresses, the CSF and IPtables configration, etc.)
It will be easy enough to compile various versions of PHP again.
I'm looking for advice for what I should do before/during/after the migration. My plan is to build the complete 2nd machine, install CWP and CentOS 7, and then start moving sites over. When everything is working, I'll switch off the old server and switch the internal static IP to the static IP used by the old server (so all web traffic starts forwarding to the new server 1st)
Is there a relatively easy way to forward individual domains to a second server on your internal network?
Has anyone else done a migration of accounts from a CentOS 6 server to a 2nd CentOS 7 server? Any advice or tips?
Thank you in advance,
Matthew

Addons / Can we install Docker CE on a CentOS CWP server?
« on: July 30, 2018, 07:41:29 PM »
And then we can have a "virtual server" inside our server, which can do things like host web apps (Node.js, Ruby on Rails, etc.)
Is this possible?
Or do we need to install nginx alongside Apache so that SOME requests can be forwarded to a 2nd server, which is set up with Docker only?
There is a project called
https://github.com/githubsaturn/captainduckduck
which installs on Docker, and allows you to be your own Heroku using your existing server hardware.

Addons / How to host multiple React or Node.js sites on CWP?
« on: July 25, 2018, 11:37:29 PM »
Is there a way to host multiple Node.js or React.js websites using CWP, the way we can host hundreds of PHP sites today?
If not, is this being worked on? Javascript is the most popular language in the world right now; there are hundreds of popular Javascript frameworks being used all over the world.
