Information / Re: CWP centos7 to CWP Almalinux 9 Migration Planned
« on: December 22, 2025, 08:43:53 AM »
I installed a new Alma8 box to replace my CentOS7 and manually moved everything across without any problems.
However, I dont see much movement going forward, I think CWP Control Web Panel is a great project but it seems to have badly stalled.
For me its time to move on, I am in the process of configuring a new Alma 9 box with an alternative control panel installed - Virtualmin.
Updates and communication are key and nether seem to be high priorities for the CWP team.
I understand if you are going from an old CentOS7 box the temptation to use the migration tool, I did not go down that road as I dont have to skill set to identify nested problems that may remain after a migration.

Installation / Install fresh or elevate to Alma 8?
« on: September 26, 2024, 02:38:23 PM »
I have a production server running CentOS 7.9, server websites hosted, email etc.
What do you guys think is the best route to take?
1) Setup new server and Fresh install of Alma - reconfig everything and switch over when I think its ready to go.
2) Clone existing server, elevate clone to alma 8, config and switch over
3) During a quiet period (xmas holiday) snapshot live server as backup and then elevate to alma 8.
I am leaning towards 2, I could test by pointing some "spare" domains to it when configured.
I have been reading the wiki at https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/
Any additional advice?
Mike
