Information / Re: CWP centos7 to CWP Almalinux 9 Migration Planned

I guess we need to read the warning on the tin:

The best option in 2024 is still the AlmaLinux 8.
AlmaLinux 9 has some missing features and PHP versions are limited to PHP 7.4 or higher. *EL9 is in beta stage

You can always upgrade MariaDB post-install:

Funny, I just brought up two AlmaLinux 8 systems a month or two ago and didn't encounter these issues. CWP should really patch their install and get onto supported software versions for the initial installation. MariaDB 10.3 and 10.5 are very antique at this stage, long since EOL.

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: [CRITICAL] Multiple CWP Servers Infected – Arbitrary PHP Code Execution via Publ
« on: November 27, 2025, 05:50:20 PM »
It's probably specific to your WP installation's subset of plugins and theme. Nominally WP is keyed to PHP 7.4 for full compatibility, but 8.1 is recommended for security and performance if you don't have any legacy plugins that specifically need 7.4. So I would expect some plugins may need more functions for full functionality.

I did have to enable those functions to support customer use, probably for WP. Also on a Drupal install I had to enable allow_url_fopen in order to allow IP geolocation services.

If that log you posted has accurate time stamps, the SAN notice comes in just after 3 am, which is expected because that's when the daily cron run happens, which includes AutoSSL renewal attempts (and subsequent graceful restarts).

Backup / Re: Backuply compatible (Coming soon) with CWP. Jetbakcup development
« on: November 26, 2025, 01:45:54 PM »
At least it's from Softaculous, so it fits with the current Softaculous support (which I don't use). I just hope CWP never becomes so cluttered with feature-itis as cPanel has become. Too many proprietary backup solutions and antivirus/firewall solutions would become cluttered in a hurry.
At least with Backuply, it would offer people a means to restore back WP sites after a PHP injection attack. Point-in-time snapshots would be a good thing, but never a replacement for server hardening. The fight is ongoing!

If you don't use the webmail SAN, you should delete that configuration detail from the AutoSSL setup. (If you don't have a valid DNS A record or CNAME for it, uncheck "webmail" from the list of SANs -- as I do with the "cpanel" SAN.)

I just moved my last holdout legacy CentOS 7 system over to AL8. A couple of previous servers were no problem to use the CWP Migration feature to move them from CentOS 7 based systems to AlmaLinux 8. But this last system was a stubborn beast so I had to manually migrate it -- but now I know how to move up to AlmaLinux manually, so if you had to you could manually migrate to AL9. But by far the easiest route is to migrate to AL8 using CWP Migration, then at a later date ELevate to AL9.
As you have heard, CWP is in beta for EL9 systems and one thing that is clearly broken is the CWP Migration API under AL9. So you can't migrate using their toolset from CentOS 7 to AL9. My recommendation is to take the intermediary step of going to AL8 which then has a clear path forward to AL9 or AL10 when the time comes.

DNS / Re: Setting Up DNS Slaves
« on: November 25, 2025, 06:08:12 PM »
I've been down various roads with DNS (self-hosted on 2-3 separate servers, 3rd party, NameCheap). Ultimately, I am on Cloudflare because you can't beat their infrastructure. Nearly instantaneous worldwide updates and never a hiccup with DDoS attempts (unlike with other 3rd party services and NameCheap was very vulnerable to DDoS).

What does the running log show in the window (or check the migration log)?

As others have mentioned, the Yum Manager in the web GUI can be buggy. Best to leave yum behind as legacy and get acquainted with dnf. Try:
Code: [Select]
dnf --refresh update

We can't directly help you without more specifics. If you want us to take a look, what is the actual domain in question?
Please do read that thread anandmys linked -- completely. You can see how to disinfect the server and mitigate other PHP injection attacks. You need to secure your PHP Installation and disable any unused functions.
