Please, I have had three messages until now:

[SECURITY ALERT] Unauthorized port, for more info run: sh /scripts/cwp_security_audit

[!!! CRITICAL ALERT !!!] Ghost files (deleted but running) found, for more info run: sh /scripts/cwp_security_audit

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day!

CSF Firewall / Re: CSF Auto Update Re-Enabled v14.24 and v15.00

« on: February 25, 2026, 01:53:43 PM »

No the mirrors is no longer active as there are different upgrades available.

We have been working with Aetherinox fork.

You can see how to upgrade to this fork at:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/

In addition to our public KB, we have also setup support forums at: https://sysadmin.help

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still on the original CWP CSF, version 14.2.

What do I need to do to switch to the Aetherinox fork?

CSF Firewall / Re: Should we update CSF to V15??

« on: February 24, 2026, 04:03:45 PM »

Just follow Starburst's guide to update to CSF 15.08 (Aetherinox's fork):
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-08/

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but I'm now with the original CSF of the CWP, version 14.2. Shouldn't I follow one of these two instructions before following the instruction you provided:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/csf-firewall-gplv3-release-tweaked-for-cwp/

or

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/csf-firewall-error-oops-unable-to-download-no-host-option-provided/

or both?

and then the instructions you provided:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-08/

and I already saw that the following are also available:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/

Please tell me which one to follow and which one to follow after that...

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the answers here, but I've gotten distracted...

I'm now with AL 9.7, but with the original CSF of the CWP, and with version 14.2, I'm just asking for the links for:

1. Do I have to be on version 15 of the original CSF of the CWP to be able to switch to the CSF fork of Aetherinox??
A link to switch from version 14.2 to version 15.0 of the original CSF of the CWP...

2. And the link to switch from the original CSF to the CSF fork of Aetherinox...

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

thank you very much for the reply..., as far as I can tell, they are fake...

The question is that I deleted them, and today they appeared again, the same two messages. Should I do something?

Update the MongoDB PHP Driver
Often, this warning appears because of older versions of the mongodb extension or library. Ensure you are using the latest version of both:
Extension: Update via PECL:

Code: [Select]

pecl upgrade mongodbLibrary: Update via Composer:

Code: [Select]

composer update mongodb/mongodb

HI,

I did it, but...:

[root@hosting ~]# pecl upgrade mongodb
WARNING: channel "pecl.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pecl.php.net" to update
pecl/mongodb requires PHP (version >= 8.1.0, version <= 8.99.99), installed version is 8.0.30

If you enable ionCube, PHP will give an error

Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader – it was built with configuration API420220829,NTS, whereas running engine is API420230831,NTS

So if you need ionCube, you can find the fix at:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/ioncube-error-after-building-php-8-3-with-cwp-on-almalinux-8-9/

Hi,

thank you very much for your reply, I have implemented it and am now using New ionCube Loaders for PHP - 15.0.0 ....

When running the php -v command, it now returns me:

https://prnt.sc/ENfgxbafs75_

What to do and clear these errors…

Just use PHP switcher, and select 8.3.25 with the modules you need/want.

WP 6.9 works fine with it.

Hi,

thank you very much for the answer...
Yes, this is the standard compilation of 8.3, but as far as I remember, something extra had to be done, something had to be added to some file and something else, were there instructions for that, please...

Hi,

as I already said, I am with CWP, version 0.9.8.1219 and AlmaLinux release 9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat)...

The active version of WordPress is 6.9 and I saw that the recommendation is to use PHP 8.3 or greater, in this case what is recommended to do and/or which instruction should I use to raise the PHP version to the required one?

Thanks in advance!

Updates / Re: AL 9.6, I have info about 240 updates

« on: November 19, 2025, 02:28:00 PM »

As others have mentioned, the Yum Manager in the web GUI can be buggy. Best to leave yum behind as legacy and get acquainted with dnf. Try:

Code: [Select]

dnf --refresh update

Ok, the result is:

https://prnt.sc/wuudORVZrfXQ

his information about 240 updates available appears again ...
