CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: BUG: Subdomain creation not possible

« on: August 03, 2026, 10:06:01 PM »

I've just tested for you on my Alma8, CWP 1.7 & a new subdomain was created without an issue using CWP UI. I used the below details and it created the subdomain + the folder for me.

Add SubDomain:  newsub
Folderpath: /public_html/newsub

I didnt tick the AutoSSL box though as for that to work I'd need to add a DNS record for the 'newsub' subdomain. I deleted it just as easy.

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: Bug in new CWP Update: Yum Manager stuck on "Checking for updates..." due to 404

« on: July 30, 2026, 10:52:21 PM »

If you're still experiencing the spinner & the JS 404 issue use the below to resolve (don't ignore the periods)

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/
chattr -i .
mkdir charts

# use your prefered method to copy both the following folders & contents to the new charts folder you created /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/plugins/charts/sparkline & /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/plugins/charts/sparklines (I simply used  the CWP File Manager copy option)

chattr +i .
Others inserted a symlink to resolve

Yup update 1.6 in place & can report all working as expected.

Love the new File Manager BTW, is going to make my work much quicker

Not that this helps much but it may rule out the updates as the issue for you. I just added Node,js 24.18.1 successfully. Then updated app to this version & saved. All worked & I did not receive any errors.

Am on Alma 8 with CWPpro version: 1.4 (or whatever it's supposed to be now)

I posted earlier on another post but this should get you around the 404 error that affects the modsec module UI by copying the JS UI components it wants to where its looking for them. At least until it's patched.

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/
chattr -i .
mkdir charts

# use your prefered method to copy the following folders & contents to the new charts folder you created /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/plugins/charts/sparkline & /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/plugins/charts/sparklines (I simply used  the CWP File Manager copy option)

chattr +i .

Refresh the browser and all done.

I can't find a work around for the misbehaving Yum page as it's called by an API & I can't see past it. Desipte this dnf update in terminal still works fine for me (Alma 8 here).

/cheer @Netino for showing the way

Updates / Re: Alma 9 / 1.3 Update

« on: July 29, 2026, 03:28:26 AM »

Cheers @Netino you're a god send, again!

For short term relief I made a directory named charts inside /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/admin/design/ (gotta remove immutable attribute first). Copied the 2 directories it wants (sparkline & sparklines, they are just JS UI component files so nothing scary) to the new charts directory & made it immutable again.

Misbehaving UI components eg: ModSec now display correctly in panel. It's probably going to be overwritten with next update but hopefully the next update has this corrected anyhow.

Information / Re: CWP: What is the future of the project? Is it still the right choice?

« on: July 27, 2026, 01:42:06 PM »

I'll offer a different perspective as it's not like they're football teams & you're supposed to go with one or the other. I run CWP & CPanel servers & both have their own pros & cons. CWP is fantastic cost wise, simple to use & does most things well, I actually prefer the node.js setup but maintenance can be very hands on. CPanel is more stable, practically maintenance free & feature rich but comes with a much heftier price tag, is more complex to use & is always trying to sell you other subscriptions.

I'm led by what the client wants, if price is the most important factor they get CWP hosting or if they want full featured and are prepared to pay more they get CPanel hosting.

Ooo I like the the sound of anything with security updates in it (spent this evening tuning my CSF as scanner bots are getting more than annoying these days) & I can do happy faces again...

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: CVE-2025-48703 + CVE-2026-57517: the gsocket systemd backdoor CWP's

« on: July 08, 2026, 04:21:17 AM »

Changing SSH port is imperative IMO.

Just be aware that the gsocket exploit bypasses the firewall entirely (doesn't matter what ports you block) so this is not an effective measure against it. Was glad to see multiple CWP version upgrades in quick succession to help keep us safe.

Updates / Re: Did 0.9.8.1239 remove extra DB users?

« on: July 02, 2026, 02:38:01 AM »

Mmm can confirm strange happening with this update.

No SQL user problems for me but it did make some sort of change. I use certs instead of user/password to access SFTP & all my logins were denied this morning. I had to allow password auth and then match users with IPs to secure as a work around.

Other / Re: 9 CVE's just dropped for those running Node.js

« on: June 26, 2026, 02:29:29 PM »

Patched versions are out (CWP has them available in the Node.js configuration tab).

From internet: To ensure your runtime is completely insulated from this vulnerability, upgrade to at least the minimum version listed below:Node.js 22 (LTS): v22.23.0 or later (Note: v22.23.1 was released shortly after to address a separate regression)Node.js 24 (LTS): v24.17.0 or laterNode.js 26 (Current): v26.3.1 or later

What is with 2026 and exploits? I'm doing more patching than developing lately!

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: NodeJS cannot auto start after rebooting the server

« on: May 17, 2026, 10:28:23 AM »

I'm pretty sure CWP doesn't auto install PM2 when you set up the node.js mod (otherwise I'd have it installed too).

Maybe it was installed as s dependancy for something you were doing.
