MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?
« on: September 08, 2025, 04:36:01 PM »
It's your choice to use either 10.11.x or 11.4.x -- both are LTS versions and both are suitable for use with CWP in a production setting. Here is a guide for updating EL7, EL8 or EL9 distributions to 10.11:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/
(I was using 10.11 on my servers up until recently when Starburst assured that 11.4 offers full compatibility with CWP and full backwards compatibility with previous versions SQL syntax.)

Updates / Re: Will someone update the Changelog
« on: September 08, 2025, 02:14:32 PM »
CWP's EL9 support is in beta. You just have to forgo CWP Migration and cgroups support, otherwise it's perfectly stable and works well in production.
CWP's value proposition is good enough for me to overlook some cultural differences and lack of communication from the devs. I am generally self-supporting, so I should be good till the end of the decade. Maybe then I'll survey the landscape, but so far free panels seem buggy and incomplete, and every other commercial panel seems to be at a similar price point, so you may as well go back to cPanel (which to me has developed a big case of feature-itis). Certainly for now, I'm content here with CWP.

Yes, 20% free disk space is a good operating rule of thumb. I would clear large files, particularly ballooning log files:

PHP / Re: Anti-Change Log

Maybe they should hire you to subcontract and be the PHP maintainer for CWP to ensure timely updates...

MySQL / Re: Danger: MySQL root password - BIG SECURITY ISSUE
« on: September 06, 2025, 01:56:45 PM »
You should find out what extraneous install of MariaDB you have on the server. You may want to go ahead and remove all versions (including 10.11) and upgrade to 11.4.x -- which is an LTS version and backward and forward compatible...
For reference:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/
A key step would be removing your installed version:

A key step would be removing your installed version:
Code: [Select]
systemctl stop mariadb mysql mysqld
systemctl disable mariadb
rpm --nodeps -ev MariaDB-serverThen to install 11.4 (or you could continue re-installing 10.11 as in the link above):https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/upgrade-mariadb-10-x-to-10-11-with-cwp-on-almalinux-9/

Oh for sure -- I thought you had already done that as a first step. They are likely what gives the attacker persistence on your server.

PHP Selector / Re: Unable to compile ANY version with PHP Switcher and Selector / FPM selector
« on: September 05, 2025, 01:03:48 PM »
Clearly seems to be a bug on some systems. Do note that EL9 support is still in beta, so you will uncover some bugs. Did you try the workaround above -- capturing the downloaded php-rebuild.sh script and running it from the CLI?
(You should definitely update your MariaDB version to 10.11 or 11.4 LTS versions, by the way...)

Starburst already gave the answer above:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/update-modsecurity-to-2-9-12-running-cwp-and-apache-on-almalinux-9/
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/modsecurity-running-with-control-web-panel/update-owasp-crs-ruleset-running-cwp-and-apache-on-almalinux-9/
You need to have your php.ini secured, and run ModSecurity with the latest OWASP CRS ruleset.And he has guides for updating ModSecurity and the OWASP CRS ruleset (tested on both AlmaLinux 8 and 9):
Along with running the latest PHP version you choose, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4

Is it static HTML or a dynamic PHP page? If PHP, which system are you using suPHP, FastCGI... and which version of PHP?

csf -u won't work currently as there is no longer an update server. Starburst is working on setting up a mirror from the Github repository so you can update:

Starburst has a guide for installing CWP with MariaDB 10.6, after which you can update to 10.11 or 11.x (LTS versions):

Did you try resetting the MariaDB root p/w to something secure?
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password
Make sure CWP knows about the new p/w -- it should be set in these two files:
/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/db_conn.php
/root/.my.cnf
