Information / Re: CWP centos7 to CWP Almalinux 9 Migration Planned
« Last post by Starburst on November 27, 2025, 10:34:19 AM »Doing the ELevate process on a production server scares me a bit, i have never done it (in the past i always have setup a new server with a newer OS every 6-8 years and migrated the sites/emails from one server to the other)
Right now i have been stagnating on Centos7, paying for the extended support, because i'm not sure if i should wait for AL9 or go to AL8 and again in 3-4 years do an other migration...
It's better to setup a new server.
ELevate could leave some ghosts in the system.
AL8 is good with security updates until 2029-05-31
AL9 is active until 2027-05-31, with security updates until 2032-05-31
And AL10, IF CWP version ever gets that version going, is active until 2030-05-31, and security updates until 2035-05-31

Seems like CWP main problem is they are still trying to support the older obsolete OS'es like CentOS 7 and PHP versions.
That seems to be holding back the needed development for the new OS'es that is needed.
They need to kill CentOS 7 support, it's been long enough past EOL and work on AL9 and AL10.
Other control panels have done this, and some have AL10 versions out or coming out soon.
While CWP is stuck on CentOS 7 and AL8.
[End of rant, I apologize]

Installation / Re: Install issues
« Last post by Starburst on November 27, 2025, 10:08:09 AM »Try to use the CWP install script.
That fix is old, and apparently things have changed in their repo for installation.

Have you run into any issues with WordPress blocking these? eval() and assert()

Apache / Re: Apache automatic shutdown
« Last post by overseer on November 27, 2025, 03:00:31 AM »If that log you posted has accurate time stamps, the SAN notice comes in just after 3 am, which is expected because that's when the daily cron run happens, which includes AutoSSL renewal attempts (and subsequent graceful restarts).

Apache / Re: Apache automatic shutdown
« Last post by 6Sense on November 27, 2025, 01:47:03 AM »CWP seems to produce that [ssl-warn] for any SAN you haven't enabled but it is just a warning & wouldn't be causing the restart. I also don't think your access attempts to /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ would do that either. Something is sending a SIGWINCH command to apache which is gracefully restarting as per its design.
I'd check your cron logs and/all other logs to see if you can find what is requesting it.

« Last post by Jack_C on November 26, 2025, 03:32:51 PM »Starburst has a guide for installing CWP with MariaDB 10.6, after which you can update to 10.11 or 11.x (LTS versions):

Backup / Re: Backuply compatible (Coming soon) with CWP. Jetbakcup development
« Last post by overseer on November 26, 2025, 01:45:54 PM »At least it's from Softaculous, so it fits with the current Softaculous support (which I don't use). I just hope CWP never becomes so cluttered with feature-itis as cPanel has become. Too many proprietary backup solutions and antivirus/firewall solutions would become cluttered in a hurry.
At least with Backuply, it would offer people a means to restore back WP sites after a PHP injection attack. Point-in-time snapshots would be a good thing, but never a replacement for server hardening. The fight is ongoing!

Backup / Backuply compatible (Coming soon) with CWP. Jetbakcup development
« Last post by cgauthey on November 26, 2025, 12:51:11 PM »Hello, I learned that Backuply (Softaculous) is actively working on making it compatible with CWP servers very soon.
This feature should be available in the next update, making Backuply the first software to offload CWP backups.
Backuply is already compatible with WordPress, but will be compatible for server backups in the next update.
Regarding JetBackup, I've been told that cooperation from José remains difficult, which is delaying its development process.

« Last post by gailclark80 on November 26, 2025, 05:05:09 AM »I checked, and I did not set up certificates for mail, webmail, ftp, or cPanel services. However, I still deleted the existing certificates and reapplied for my website (unselecting mail, webmail, FTP, or cPanel).
Let me see if this error occurs again.
