Updates / Re: Roundcube vulnerability
« on: March 05, 2026, 07:34:14 PM »You can update to the latest 1.5 LTS version, which is 1.5.13
That takes care of the issue.
That is the same as apply a bandage to a bullet hole. The core issue is still there and will bleed out eventually...

There is no DDoS attack agains the forum. There is a CWP team that have no interest in fix the server where the forum is. That is a FACT.
The DDoS is a excuse. There is no record of a ddos attack anywhere. More, there is no record in HISTORY of a DDoS attack that goes by months... or now CWP is so special that even get to beat history of the internet?
The server where the forum is hosted is outdated, with security issues and with misconfigurations. CWP team doesn't fix the issues because they have no interest in doing so. as with the CWP itself... and we can continue to discuss this, but there is no point.
CWP envangelist will ignore ALL the points made, and and continue to say that everything is fine even if CWP Team itself confirm that the panel is dead.
@Starburst will continue to provide guides in how to "fix this and that", in hope to get some attention - just look how this guy now have a forum dedicated to "help" cwp users. is trying to became somehow of a "god" to save CWP, but failing in that.
Many more continue to be here, where not even the CWP team is online, just in hope that something change, because they have all they business around CWP, and they cannot change that fact. So CWP must survive... must continue, or all they work will go by the drain. And they don't know more in how to fix that... When the time arrives, will be too late...
Many more continue to flock from CWP. There are MANY cwp alternatives, better, updated and strong. Free or paid.
CWP was unique, was great. Was. That is the word, is not anymore.

« on: February 23, 2026, 12:28:05 PM »I like this:
The usual reply: “Go buy a paid panel then.” Cool. That’s exactly what I did because when clients are paying me, I need reliability and support, not forum drama.
It sound like:
Users pay me to get reliability and support but I don't pay. However I require reliability and support )
or... I missed something.
Just because you don't pay for something, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't get a good product.
You should, at least, expect for some level of quality... And that is not what you get with CWP.
You get radio silence. Nothing changes, no new features... When something doesn't evolve, if gets behind.
Can you provide one thing where CWP have evolved? Can you show it?
There is MANY control panels in the market, both free and paid. and those who grow are the ones that evolve.
CWP is in the oposite end, is going downhill. That IS the issue.

Because haters are gonna hate.
You look at the post history, and that's all they have posted since post 1.
Bashing CWP in one way or another, and all saying it's a 'dead project'.
The irony on how the OP predict what is gonna happen...
The issue is always the others...

Suggestions you can send over the contact form on the website and will be forwarded to developers.
Thank you!
Finally a official answer.
Hope to see some updates in the near future. As sugestion, try to communicate more with the users - here, in social, etc. Or provide some info about what is really being develop, the news... something.
That will give hope!

Updates / Re: Is CWP dead? Looking for alternatives
« on: January 13, 2026, 02:38:10 PM »1. The source of that information is directly from CWP via a support ticket I submitted.
You can doubt whatever you want, but that is the answer I received form them.
Source: you. Right...
And about ALL the others things that you said, like the panels without disclosures and changelogs?
Only real problem with the forums is an expired SSL.
What SSL?
SSL is fine.. and is active... no issues are related with that.
And again, you are misleading the point and trying to cover this with another thing without any context...
There is MULTIPLE ISSUES accessing the forum, several times per day, for months. How can you say that is "just SSL", when ANYONE can see that is not?
An example: https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/profile/?u=24987
Can you enter? No, because the SMF is misconfigured.
2. There are many aspects from HTTP, PHP, ModSecurity, etc., but since you don't know, that shows you probably don't use CWP.
(Why everything that a person says is received be you as an attack? jesus.....)
Every thing that you said is software that is IN THE SERVER/OS. Is not related with the control panel used.
You don't even need a panel to use apache, nginx, ModSecurity (but as you make yourself as the only expert, and everyone else is dumb... you already know that).
You can update and customize every single one of that piece of software in ANY server. Even in servers without ANY panel.
Just because CWP "works" when you change something that doesn't say nothing. Every single panel out there also continue to work.
But of course, if was develop to a version X, and you change yourself to version Y, something can or will break... The same thing can happen with CWP also.
3. Yup. You are just a BS poster, @overseer and myself provide a majority of help here.
And I was talking about offering help to CWP also.
All you seem to be doing is posting hate without knowing how CWP really works via GUI and CLI.
And you don't see a issue there? Two members, that are not even in the development team of this panel, are the ONLY THING that still support the community?
And the support is done by guides of "mods/hacks" that are needed to update software that SHOULD BE the developement team of CWP to update?
If you cannot see the issue here, you are completly blind.
"All you seem to be doing is posting hate"
No dude. Hate is someone post a topic about alternatives to CWP, and your "help" is ALWAYS and MORE THAT ONE TIME being toxic and only say: move to another panel.
Just look at your FIRST REPLY here.
Take the point: only you and another one of the users are the "CWP envangelist" and deny that calling everyone else "haters".
EVERY SINGLE OTHER USER at least acknowledge that there are issues with CWP - and IS FINE have issues, is with them that projects evolve!
And provide valid feedbacks and try to help to make CWP better.

I agree, the forums being down for hours and sometime days is very annoying.
CWP claims it's due to Layer 7 DDoS attacks.
Where is the source of this information?
There is multiple affirmations like this made from you, but no source to confirm this.
And i doubt that is that answer, since the issue is clearly because of misconfigured server where the forum is - many times there is Nginx errors. And just look in how outdated and with MANY errors this installation of SMF have - you cannot even enter a user profile.
CWP isn't without flaws, but compared to other panels, CWP can be updated/customized better than others on the market I've tested.
That is what's nice about CWP, you can update certain components without breaking the control panel, just like you can with Webmin/Virtualmin.
Can you provide any example of what are you talking?
"customized" like what?
Not sure about anyone else, but I've offered to help, but have been turned down.
Your "help" was "But by all means move to cPanel...". I am quoting YOU.
Of course your help is turned down - not because you are the victim, but because you didn't provide any help really.

Starburst have great tutorials here, and is doing a great work to an extent.
But when a software starts to get "mods/hacks" from someone just to use updated features or something - not official - then something is wrong. Starburst - and some other users here - are in denial about the future and only answer is being toxic to any critic or negative feedback made against CWP...
Check any topic where is any negative feedback against CWP: i bet that every one of them will be toxic. Os just look to the first reply in this topic: "go to another panel"... And if you confront them, then you are the "bad guy".
Just the fact that the support forum is constantly down for hours - an issue with MONTHS - proves somethings.. But CWP envagelists will say that "is normal", or "go to other panel".
You are asking a legit question and your post is not toxic at all: what are the alternatives to CWP.
There are many. In the free side, you have HestiaCP, VestaCP, cloudpanel, cyberpanel, aapanel or froxlor. Are some examples. The "best" will vary from user to user and from your needs.
If you just need some WordPress sites, cloudpanel is the best in my opinion. For something else, maybe HestiaCP.
Or you can continue to use CWP, if there is some features that really are needed and if you can bare with the lack of updates.

Stop posting hate, and you won't get 'toxic' answers...
CWP 0.9.8.1220 came out on 2025-12-29 with minor bug fixes and updates to the latest PHP 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 versions.
Fine, then PLEASE STOP using CWP and go use another panel...
BYE FELICIA...
"CWP 0.9.8.1220 came out on 2025-12-29 with minor bug fixes and updates to the latest PHP 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 versions."
Kindle provide the source where you get that information of what change.
"Fine, then PLEASE STOP using CWP and go use another panel..."
Or just don't use a panel. You don't need one.
But in how that answer the questions made or help CWP? If CWP don't have users - or is just one or two - it will die even faster.
Your only answer being this is damaging the project, not the community making questions and observations - being them valid or not in your point of view.

« on: January 12, 2026, 09:13:09 PM »Many panels don't publish about their 'Critical security' issues.
I haven't seen cPanel do it (Not that I pay much attention to them), but neither does CyberPanel (Even though reports of the flaws get posted all over, CyberPanel doesn't respond), ApisCP, and many others I have tried & used.
That is NOT TRUE.
Cpanel changelog with security updates also disclosed:
https://docs.cpanel.net/release-notes/release-notes/
Cyberpanel changelog with security updates also disclosed:
https://cyberpanel.net/KnowledgeBase/home/change-logs/
ApisCP Changelog - and you can see all the source code of what really change
https://gitlab.com/apisnetworks/apnscp/-/tags
I'm hoping CWP is working on EL10, but they seem stuck on still supporting Past EOL OS's like CentOS 7.
As long as they do this, CWP is going to be stuck, as EL9 and even EL10 operate differently from CentOS 7 / EL8.
Even EL10 operate differently than EL9 with different security.
There is NO POINT in support dead OS's, and CWP is not "supporting them". Is just providing a panel to manage the services better, not "supporting" the old EOL system. They are EOL, and for many updates that you provide to the panel, there is NO WAY that will improve security or provide better experience. And That is the point that many CWP evangelists don't see - CWP is a panel, not a OS.
CWP only provides simple management of the server, not a complete system.

@kandalf
Yes, CWP is in life support. Not dead, but as many other projects, is in the end of the road. There is just routine updates, not new features or really updates at all. No support to new software, nothing...
Updates are provided "as a number" - no communication on what have changed, no changelog, nothing.
Yes, there is "latest update one day ago"... and thats it. For what we know, nothing changed besides the "latest update date".
Proof: https://control-webpanel.com/changelog (last update in 2024)
If you have a project that needs a panel, look for alternatives - there are many other free and commercial panels.
And for the "CWP evangelists", don't even bother be toxic and reply to this/me.
Anyone that talk about this in the community is faced with a "you are a cPanel envagelist" or "move to cPanel". Dudes... WE ARE ASKING LEGIT QUESTIONS! If we are starting a project, we (Community) need to know if is a good starting point or not.
That toxic answers just lead users to another panels, and THAT IS NOT GOOD for CWP. You guys are destroying the panel and not even realize that!

Other / CWP Forums constantly down
« on: December 17, 2025, 09:38:40 AM »
Hi,
What is happening with the CWP forums, that have been more down than up lately?
Almose every day, the website stays "on" for just a few hours, and then goes to a Gateway Timeout error.
This is an issue, since many troubleshoots and issues are related with content here. Also, doesn't looks great doesn't have the main source of community support "offline".
