Hooray, a DIY sysadmin is born! You passed through the baptism by fire, so now you are probably ready for anything!

Migration from other control panels / Re: Migration to...
« on: May 16, 2026, 10:22:46 PM »
Never heard of it before. It's only live this year and was in beta since 2024, so 2 years old. You would have to switch lineages to use it (Debian/Ubuntu), so a fresh install needed. I personally couldn't use it because its pricing is comparable to cPanel for the number of domains I host (a lot of my user accounts has multiple domain permutations so domains is a heavier count than users).

Sounds like you know your server well and are on the right track to resolving this, one turn after another. Sometimes involving outside support introduces new issues or backtracks on the resolution process, as you are discovering! No one knows your server better than you do, so sometimes its best to just muddle through to the final solution.
(But best practice is to take a full snapshot before a major change that can break things... then you can just roll back if things go awry.)

MySQL / Re: Remove MariaDB root user password

Just to leave a "for the record" note: if it says "connection to storage server failed" -- that pertains to dovecot/IMAP.

Correct -- there is no "users" table in the "postfix" DB. But the roundcube DB more pertains to the end user settings -- last login, various options in the Roundcube settings (theme, identities, etc.) -- it doesn't really pertain to auth. Have you been adjusting things in the postfix, dovecot, and/or roundcube configs?

MySQL / Re: Remove MariaDB root user password
« on: May 15, 2026, 02:54:39 AM »
You can find the roundcube user's recorded password in /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/config/config.inc.php:
Code: [Select]
$config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysqli://roundcube:SOMERANDOMSTRING@127.0.0.1/roundcube';Then use CWP's built in MySQL Manager or else phpMyAdmin to reset the PW to SOMERANDOMSTRING.

MySQL / Re: Remove MariaDB root user password
« on: May 13, 2026, 02:46:02 AM »
Reset your MariaDB root password as per this article:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password
Then make sure the current MariaDB root password is set in these two files, so all are in agreement:
/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/db_conn.php
/root/.my.cnf
Restart the server. See if you can get on to the CWP Admin panel.

Dovecot / Re: dovecot problem
« on: May 10, 2026, 04:19:34 AM »
LDA must have root permissions to switch between users with different unique system UIDs. Grant Setuid Permissions on the LDA binary (this could get reset with a system or package update):
Code: [Select]
chown root:mail /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
chmod 4750 /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
postqueue -f

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: CentOS 9 stream CWP installation problem
« on: May 09, 2026, 12:43:09 PM »
You need to use the Alma Linux DVD version, not the Minimal version. But again, don't install anything beyond the defaults of the DVD installer before installing CWP.
