Installation / Re: Problems installing CWP 8 with MariaDB
« on: November 01, 2025, 03:09:15 PM »
No, not limited to just the website DB -- I do mean ALL DB (including the root_cwp database, postfix DB, roundcube DB). On the original server to be migrated, issue this command:
Then on the fresh AL9 system after re-creating all the user accounts, issue the reverse command to load in the DBs:
Code: [Select]
mariadb-dump -u root -p --all-databases --system=users > all_DB.sqlThen SCP or rsync this all-inclusive SQL file over (it can be several GB large).Then on the fresh AL9 system after re-creating all the user accounts, issue the reverse command to load in the DBs:
Code: [Select]
mariadb -u root -p < /path/to/all_DB.sqlThis worked for my CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 8 migration.

Apache / Re: rebuild vhosts
« on: October 29, 2025, 12:10:16 PM »
CWP's EL9 support is in beta, so one of the known bugs is that CWP Migration does not work on EL9 distributions. (You would need to use an EL8 distribution for full support.)
You should be able to manually migrate, no problem. I just had to manually migrate my last CentOS 7 server to AlmaLinux 8 because I was continually encountering a bug with CWP Migration (even though it's worked just fine for me for other servers). You dump all DB to a single SQL file, on the new server create the user accounts you are replicating, load the DB SQL on the new server and rsync in all your files -- /home and /var/vmail. (Also move any conf you want to carry over -- CSF firewall, Roundcube, nginx vhosts, DNS zone files, etc.).

But the postfix DB, particularly the mailbox table has all the end user PW hashes stored. So recreating that DB on the new server will get you all the user PW you need. No need to recreate any mail user accounts or aliases. Also bring over the roundcube DB for a seamless mail experience. Just make sure their /var/vmail IMAP storage is in place and all the references will point appropriately. Voila!

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: Can't update linux OS because of mysql-common
« on: October 28, 2025, 11:31:14 PM »
You could follow this guide:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/
The key takeaway is as part of the MariaDB upgrade process, you manually remove the mysql-common package first:

« on: October 28, 2025, 09:38:16 PM »I lost 4 hours of trying to update PHP from 7.4.33 to at least 3, or 4 versions of PHP - and I still can't update to PHP 8.1.33.Your time must not be worth very much if you would rather spend 4 hours than $1/month for CWP Pro. (Time = Money)

This is capitalism:
Pay yourself for your time.
Pay a sysadmin to secure and maintain your system for you.
Pay the CWP devs for CWP Pro with the elegant php-fpm solution.

Yes, that script is defunct. Use this instead:

I don't follow your logic. No company offers indemnity against CVE or 0-day exploits. Not Red Hat, not Oracle, not cPanel. None will reimburse you for lost time or recovery efforts (and even a product refund is very unlikely). Many are setting up bug bounty programs to prevent such public damage to their products (and therefore their reputation) and the open source world expects their code to be reviewed by knowledgeable coders. You can purchase insurance against exploits if you want, though...
But really, this is a value proposition to provide you with an inexpensive web panel to make administration easier for you and end users. It's up to you to secure your core system and reduce your attack surface. A secure (and backed up) system won't have as much of a problem with a 0-day or CVE without an immediate patch.

CWP Pro is well worth the few $$ to support the development and gain useful features.

This seems to be a bug in the PHP switcher. You can work around it by clearing /usr/local/src and initiate the build in the CWP Admin GUI. Then you capture the PHP build script that is downloaded as the failed build process takes place (cp it to another file so it doesn't get cleaned up). Then you run that script in the CLI and it should build successfully. A very odd problem & solution, to be sure.
An end-run around the bug is to just use php-fpm instead, which doesn't seem to have these problems and all php versions build successfully. Plus, it's more performant and you have the ability to use different versions of php with different vhosts.

PHP / Re: When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?
« on: October 24, 2025, 09:35:47 PM »Your point then is: is OK, they are working to continue support CentOS 7 (that is EOL), and CentOS 8 (that is also EOL)... and now working to CentOS 9. At this point, we can expect support to CentOS Stream 9 when he reaches the EOL date in 2027...I think the crux of the issue is that you are likely not a native English speaker and are missing some of the nuances of what we are writing. I chose my words very carefully. CentOS Stream 8 was the initial direction CWP was going in as the CentOS 7 EOL was approaching and so they created the delayed repositories. Then AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux 8 released and proved to be viable (and indeed BETTER than CentOS Stream) and so CWP pivoted to supporting and recommending those true EL8 distributions. Indeed, AlmaLinux 8 is now their recommended current stable base OS. I never said anything about CentOS Stream 9 because to me it is a no-trick pony -- a beta quality OS that has no business being the foundation for a server -- so it is irrelevant. True Enterprise Linux 9 releases (especially AlmaLinux 9) is what CWP is targeting and is currently in beta for. All of that do-si-do was caused by Red Hat and ate up quite a bit of time & developer resources (both for the binary compatible EL releases and CWP) until the landscape settled out to what it is today.

I too have seen this. (Hopefully you are on an true EL8 distribution such as AlmaLinux 8 -- not a beta OS like CentOS Stream.) CWP should default to MariaDB 10.11 LTS version in its installation script. 10.5 is woefully EOL. Starburst does have a patched EL8 install script that includes 10.6 as the starting point, after which you upgrade to 10.11:

PHP / Re: When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?
« on: October 23, 2025, 02:53:48 PM »The fact that i am stating that CWP is lacking in updates, is a fact. Im not dumb to state that everything is OK, when you cannot provide me ONE SIMPLE THING about CWP that have been done in the last 1-2 years! That is a fact...The major work over the last year has been to transition out of CentOS 7 EOL and provide full support for EL8 distributions, with both a delayed repository (for CentOS 8 Stream) and for stable EL8 versions. This lays the groundwork for full EL9 support (which is currently in beta). So it's a big path forward after Red Hat pulled the rug out from under everyone using CentOS. Given this is Enterprise Linux, I would rather have a truly stable, long term supported foundation rather than shiny new features.
And now ConfigServer and Way to the Web pulled the rug out from everyone by closing up shop. At least they left ConfigServer Firewall as GPLv3 code so work can continue on it.
