PHP Selector / Temporary downgrade of CWP pro to free version (emergency!)

« on: January 27, 2026, 03:43:38 PM »

Due to internet restrictions imposed by the government of the country where my server is located, it was impossible to access the global internet for over 2 weeks.
This caused the control panel license to fail, modules such as PHP‑FPM Selector to be disabled, and 503 errors to be received on the hosted websites.

Error on the home page of php sites:

503 Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Error log:

Code: [Select]

[Fri Jan 23 18:35:35.229146 2026] [proxy:error] [pid 31248:tid 31296] (2)No such file or directory: AH02454: FCGI: attempt to connect to Unix domain socket /opt/alt/php-fpm72/usr/var/sockets/sabradid.sock (localhost:8000) failed

Notes:

• Operating system: AlmaLinux 8 (64)
• CWP version: 0.9.8.1220
• Web server configuration Domains in pro version: nginx -> varnish -> apache -> php-fpm
• When the global internet is down, only local Linux distribution mirrors are available. (cwp-repo is not available)

Questions:

• What is the safest, least-consequences, and CWP-compatible way to install Alt-PHP and enable PHP-FPM on it? Or any other solution that will fix the problem. (step by step with full details)
• Given the operating system and CWP version, what is the lowest PHP version I can use in the free version? (Pre-installed versions: PHP-FPM 5.4.45, 7.2, 7.4, 8.0, 8.3)
• What is the best solution to renew SSL certificates given that there is no access to the global internet?
• What is the best solution to reactivate CWP pro after applying the above changes to CWP?

Please answer my questions before disconnecting access to the global internet again!
Many thanks...

SSL / Missing .acme.sh and hanging AutoSSL

« on: October 01, 2022, 04:17:35 PM »

After fresh installation of the CWP (0.9.8.1145) on centos 7.9.2009 (Core), I realized that when I install / renew SSL certificate, without completing the process, the whole panel hangs!

Also when I creating a new account, if Auto SSL checked, after long time below error is displayed in the popup:

504 Gateway Time-out
cwpsrv

Upon further investigation I found that there is no /.acme.sh in my /root directory!

How can I fix this issue?
