Updates / Server updates don't seem to be happening

« on: March 15, 2025, 12:00:41 PM »

It has been over a month since I last saw any updates that were ready to be installed on the server. There is 1 update that shows up for MariaDB and it is rather strange.

In the control panel under YUM Manager it some times shows as 7.0. If I run the update it says it was successful and reloads with version 7.1 showing as availble. I run 7.1 then 7.2 shows up. Run it and go back to the Yum Manager page and it is back to needing 7.1

If I run the YUM command from the command line I see it is actually failing to install.

[root@server1 ~]# yum update

If I go to the mirror link manually I can see in the yum folder there is no 10.4 folder.

How can I fix this mistake?

And again I have not seen any other updates for the server in a month.

CWPpro version: 0.9.8.1200
MySQL version: 10.4.34-MariaDB

E-Mail / Box Trapper feature

In our old cPanel servers there was a function called "Box Trapper" does that function exist for CWP? I can't find it anywhere.

DNS / Permission problem when restarting BIND DNS Server

« on: July 25, 2024, 11:39:40 PM »

I have a server that is running with 5 accounts that were manually added. Today I had to add the last 2 accounts to it. For those accounts I used the cpanel to CWP migration method. The account imported fine but the dns records in one of them were botched. They referenced the old nameservers.

I used the rebuild zone button and that looked like it should have fixed the issue but the one zone still would not get an IP Address.

So I did the dumb thing and restarted BIND DNS Server from the Dashboard. It stopped it fine but when it tries to start it there is a permission issue.

I am not sure what I broke or how to fix it.

CSF Firewall / Suspicious File Alert

« on: April 18, 2024, 03:32:40 PM »

I setup a new server last week and since I got the DNS to resolve correct (allowing it to send emails) I keep getting these 2 messages.

Note that I do not have this issue with my other install of CWP.

I scanned that directory with CalmAV and it found nothing.

Here is the file structure of the .root_0f8430_salt directory.
