Apache / Re: How to setup Website on the IP address
« on: May 16, 2023, 10:24:16 PM »
What aspect of your .htaccess is not working? Something specific to WordPress?

Are you an AI bot spouting out marketing copy? Your response doesn't correspond to the topic of this thread!

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to go with Starbust's report. You didn't offer any details in your statement and I have no proof of true AlmaLinux 9 compatibility with CWP. And CWP does NOT list AlmaLinux 9 as compatible currently. Maybe next year before CentOS 7 goes EOL, but not right now.

Installation / Re: Centos 7 still the recommended version?
« on: May 15, 2023, 12:48:37 PM »
My plan is a migration to AlmaLinux in May 2024 before CentOS 7.9 goes EOL. I hear it is broadly compatible with CWP, maybe with a few livable bugs or incompatibilities (but not as "rocky" as another distribution). I do not plan on going to CentOS 8 Stream, which is a one-way trip.

If I were starting a server fresh today, it would be AlmaLinux, no doubt.

No, it's not the same. It's called a workaround.

It's probably a conscious choice of the devs because image files can be a vector for security exploits -- and lord knows this forum software is vulnerable, being so far out of date!

Updates / Re: Python and CWP

I answered in your other thread... best not to double-post, even in your distress!

Can you login to the server via SSH and roll things back with yum?

Have you tried an experiment of running this under CentOS 7? It's the better supported platform than CentOS 8...

CentOS 8 Problems / Re: discord bot nodejs
« on: May 13, 2023, 02:35:53 AM »
A lack of replies here usually indicates too specialized of a request, probably not pertaining to CWP specifically. You may want to just Google your subject and find some approximate guide -- it should be easily adaptable to the CWP platform (CentOS + LAMP server stack).

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: Cronjob not added from user panel
« on: May 13, 2023, 02:32:55 AM »
It's not actually a make-or-break feature for me, as most end users don't know what a cron job is! I prefer it be kept to the admin side with root access. I'm always glad to set up cron jobs if necessary for users who ask me for support -- and that way I can vet the task and make sure it is necessary and runs most efficiently, rather than needlessly often or with resource intensive tasks running at bad times of day. I'm remembering back to my cPanel days when user cronjobs were decidedly NOT a panacea!

I'm just here to help. Literally. I just want to contribute back to the community and offer whatever shared experience I can. I mostly use this forum as personal documentation for what I've discovered while setting up my several CWP servers. That way I can refer back to my own posts as I set up more servers. Not to mention gleaning from others' solutions and experiences, and occasionally tapping into advice from the devs/staff that frequent the forum. This is a valuable resource and I hope to keep up interest in it and offer free support to anyone coming with questions I may be able to answer.

My greatest concern with the forum is not about image attachments or custom avatars -- it's more that the forum software is years out of date and subject to security vulnerabilities. I wanted to put out the offer to the staff if they need any help upgrading to the latest Simple Machines release, I would be glad to contribute. (If even to fork a copy of the current forum and do a testbed upgrade to ensure that an upgrade to current levels would go smoothly, I could offer that.)

Likewise, turn off SMTP AUTH failure notices or you will be bothered to death by all the script kiddies (and Chinese nationals) attempting various username:password combos.

Edit /etc/csf/csf.conf
Code: [Select]
LF_PERMBLOCK_ALERT = "0"

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: Fix permissions
« on: May 12, 2023, 01:48:51 PM »
Well, obviously I've never tried this, but you could try it...
Boot off of a rescue image or bootable USB stick. Mount your drive and run these commands:
Code: [Select]
chmod 0700 -R /root/.ssh
chown root -R /
chmod 755 -R /
Reboot the system normally, login as root and run this to reset permissions:
Code: [Select]
for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setperms $p; done
for p in $(rpm -qa); do rpm --setugids $p; done
Good luck!

Again, same advice applies -- if you don't need to run Redis, disable it. If you need to run it, add it to the CSF/LDF pignore file. When I was first setting up CWP servers, I had to add several processes to the pignore file, as I was being bothered to death by several message types. I also had to increase the IMAP authentication failure block thresholds, as users would often shoot themselves in the foot with bad authentication plugged into their mail clients -- resulting in their IP getting blocked. Thank you Thunderbird for the ridiculous every 5 min mailbox checking default! (In the days before push notifications, there was POP...)
