Information / Re: Modernizing CWP: Drop EOL, Support AL9, AL10 & Rocky

« on: August 02, 2026, 04:24:33 PM »

My intention in posting this request to the developers was to gather community support by encouraging everyone affected to respond and post here. I hoped that, if the number of replies increased to a significant level, it might give the developers more incentive to implement it sooner—similar to a petition. I did not intend to undermine your efforts which I acknowledge and support.

Your post may seem new, but I have seen it posted by someone else 10 years ago.  Nothing has changed, nothing will change.

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

« on: August 02, 2026, 04:22:04 PM »

I ditched cwp last year for virtualmin and never looked back.  I had used cwp probably for 5 years with no significant developer advancements.  cwp has more bugs than windows.  No one cares, no one replies except members of the forum. In the first years, there were many big contributors, but they have all jumped ship or just lost interest. Life goes on.  The new generation has no patience or interest in fixing the absolute worst choice for open source webpanel.

Virtualmin is stable and after a year i have never encountered a single bug.  GUI is excellent but takes a while to adjust after using cwp for many years.  I am running on ubuntu.  and you should too.  Centos days are done.  When I hear centos I think Netscape, netmeeting, and Napster. 

Centoscwp doesnt even advertise this forum on their website.  And there is a good reason why they are not doing so.  They dont want potential new users to learn the truth.  On the positive side, this forum is now operating on https after 12 years of no ssl certs.

Stop wasting your time and switch to virtualmin or aapanel.  Signing up for centoscwp means daily visits to this fixit forum for the next 5 years.   Over the past year I have never needed to visit any support forum for virtualmin.

PHP / Re: Problem PHP Mail Function Alma Linux 8

« on: April 18, 2025, 06:22:36 PM »

Test done: AlmaLinux 8 + CWP Pro
Installation of s-nail in console then reboot of the server.

The problem remains the same no mail from the php scripts and the logs
are normal without errors.

Do I need to make a special configuration or adjustment to php.ini?

You have to use an email address thats on the server or it will balk.  IOW no gmail

PHP / Re: php compiling for 1 hour

Yea, go from 5.6 to 7.4, then from 7.4 to 8.x

If the sites down' need anything below 7.4, then you might want to look at using AlmaLinux 9.5 instead of 8.10.

I tried the 2 step doxy do and it worked. mpita

So I got up today and both servers had not been updated to the 8.1 php.  More disasters.  I will try the incremental method.

I am updating php from default 5.6 to 8.1.  On one server its been an hour so far, and the other server 30 minutes.  Both servers have no websites.

speaking of php...

during the cwp install I saw error messages about pear.php.net.   It was scrolling fast but I gather it wanted me to do something later on after the install finished.

Information / Bad day for alma

« on: April 17, 2025, 10:19:25 PM »

So I installed alma8 3 times today.  Each time when I went to login to the contol panel I entered the password that I used to install cwp....you know the same old password that I have been using for years.  And it wouldnt work.  Now mind you that it did work perfectly when logging into putty to install cwp.  And it still works if I login in to putty.  So I figured out I can change the root password and both putty and cwp will work.    No cap locks wasnt on.

And each time, CSF was not installed.  uggg

And each time, php 5.6 was installed as default.  I even tried the -r yes --phpfpm 8.1 option, and that didnt work either.

What a disaster.

CSF Firewall / Re: Firewall CFS not enable alma8 - al8 (fixed)

« on: April 17, 2025, 04:46:06 PM »

Now, as you did run normal installation script, run 'uninstall.sh' (the normal uninstallation script), and install again, now running 'install.cwp.sh'.

Did that and CWP install. CWP is showing the firewall is off but when I run the enable from the panel it says the firewall is already running. Will it still handle the tables?

confirmed.  CWP icon says disabled but when I enable it, it says its already running................................
