Postfix / Re: ERROR: You don't have a valid hostname set!
« on: May 20, 2017, 01:24:09 PM »
You can think of your hostname as the name you call your server. The format of a hostname looks like a sub domain derived from your main domain eg, srv1.yourdomain.com (you can replace srv1 with anything). It is however technically different to a sub domain as its a host name (clear as mud yet lol).
Anyhow you are able to find and change what your hostname is in CWP via Server Settings > Change Hostname. You also should insert your hostname into the http.conf file ( Apache Settings > Apache Configuration > locate #ServerName and change to
ServerName www.srv1.yourdomain.com:80 (or whatever you named your hostname).
Web servers can house many domain names so the mail server uses the hostname to identify itself when it communicates with other mail servers. Mail servers also require RDNS (reverse DNS) to be set up but this is done at your server provider not via CWP. As Sandeep has mentioned add an A record for the hostname too.
Hope this helps your understanding

Addons / How to auto load cloudflare_mod?
« on: May 11, 2017, 01:59:06 PM »
Hi, I use cloudflare_mod with CWP7 to pass the real IP of visitors as I use them for DNS. Works great though I have to re run the script after most CWP updates to reinitialize the module (it's still installed).
Anyone have an idea how to configure CWP to auto load cloudflare_mod after an update?

Ignore that link it's 3 years old!
Just use the SSL Cert Manager to install your SSL's. It will install a different SSL issued and signed by LetsEncrypt for every domain and/or sub domain that you ask it to.
No sharing and no self signed Certs

This is the post I was referring to http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/ssl/missing-info/msg11604/#msg11604
Admin says the Lets Encrypt module was buggy (I have to agree as had to use page rules, http>https & https://www > 301 > https:// to get everything to work flawlessly).
I took the plunge & set up my SSLs today using the SSL Cert manager. It was super simple & works like a dream (they seem to use LetsEncrypt supplied SSLs BTW). I no longer need the pages too.
Give it a try

SSL / Re: Hostname SSL with Letsencrypt after Upgrade
« on: April 29, 2017, 07:39:13 AM »
Thanks Yum, worked a treat!
They keep referring us to Auto SSL but my experience is that this produces a self signed cert that throws up browser warnings & who would want that?

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: Why subdomains are not working?
« on: April 28, 2017, 01:58:28 PM »
How have you set up your DNS?
I create a CNAME entry in CloudFlare for every sub-domain that is set up. I use a redirect rule (HTTP to HTTPS) thus have to install a SSL on the sub-domain in CWP before traffic flows. Sometimes it also takes 30 mins or so for the DNS settings to propagate too.
The 'Fix Permissions' under User Accounts can also solve some 'server not found' issues.

Yep, it still works on both CWP 6 & 7
We just won't receive any further updates or development on the LetsEncrypt module as they have officially moved back to the SSL Cert Manager.

Cool, I can see the HTTP Server Test Page when I click on your link which should mean you've set up CWP successfully.
How did you go FTPing WordPress into the user folder, setting up the SQL database & altering wp-config file?
The Admin post is telling you to make sure you have pointed your Domain Name Server(s) to your server IP. You can use CWP as as your DNS or another of your choice (I use cloudflare). Either way it all has to be pointing to your VPS IP.

Hi,
Did you get CWP installed correctly including a user account before adding WordPress? Once you have successfully installed CWP and created a user account with a domain you can then install WordPress as per the below steps.
If the above is done correctly you will see the default WordPress start page when you go to your URL in the browser.
See how you go & don't forget to breath

- Download latest Wordpress zip file, unzip & FTP into the public_html folder within the CWP user account //home/user/public_html/
- Set up a SQL database & user within CWP SQL Services > SQL Manager > + Create Database & User
- Add SQL database name, username & password to the wp-config.php file
- Fix permissions in CWP if needed
If the above is done correctly you will see the default WordPress start page when you go to your URL in the browser.

Hi,
I get this sometimes when I install a fresh WordPress on a user account. You can try to Fix by resetting Account permissions on the account you are installing WordPress on within CWP.
User Accounts > Fix Permissions > Select the user account > Click Fix Account Permissions button
If this doesn't work I'd remove and reinstall your WordPress install.

I have 2x VPS servers successfully running CWP using SSL certs (1x CWP6 & 1x CWP7). All costing me $0 per month.
I suggest you take another look at what your doing.

CentOS 6 Problems / Re: CentOS6 Upgrade
« on: March 28, 2017, 08:27:36 AM »
Hi All,
I just upgraded a server that had existing SSL certs from CWP 0.9.8.153 to CWP6 0.9.8.197 using the scripts provided by the OP.
All went well except Apache wouldn't start one completed. So I rebuild Apache via CWP, it still wouldn't start and was receiving an error that suggested a spelling error or unknown character on line 2 of /usr/local/apache/conf.d/ssl.conf - I compared this file with CWP7 server I have and saw it was some missing some lines. Added them and Apache now starts and runs fine.
Lines I added to the ssl.conf file are listed below (first 3 lines in file) should anyone experience same error.
<IfModule !ssl_module>
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
</IfModule>
