« Last post by Starburst on June 02, 2025, 07:16:56 PM »That is because AlmaLinux is NOT Ubuntu. 
If you look at the packages it installed, you overwrote some key packages, like Apache when you where trying to install Webalizer.
Running a server you need some experience, so you don't follow guides not for your OS.
Your best bet now is to do the 1 time support from CWP, and see if they can restore the server.
If not, hope you made a snapshot (which is always recommended, before making major changes) you can restore to.
Otherwise, you'll be rebuilding the server from scratch.

MySQL / upgraded MariaDB, and to 10.11and does not recognize the database....
« Last post by venty on June 02, 2025, 06:18:25 PM »Hi,
I used the instructions here:
https://kb.starburstservices.com/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/upgrade-mariadb-10-x-to-10-11-with-cwp-on-almalinux-9/
and upgraded MariaDB to 10.11....
Today, I had to create a new database with a user through the user panel. Everything went normally, but when I tried to use the database during WordPress installation, I encountered an error stating that it could not access the database.
I tested it several times, but it didn't work.. Then again, through the user panel, I "changed" the password of the database user (I copied and pasted the same one that I had set when creating the database), and everything worked - the WordPress installation accessed the database???
I haven't made any changes to the server, except that on 25.05 MariaDB was updated to 10.11.13 and I changed the root password.
When checking the status of the MySQL Database Server, I found the following entries:
Jun 02 20:59:19 hosting.mydomain.com mariadbd[1123]: 2025-06-02 20:59:19 682 [Warning] Aborted connection 682 to db: 'postfix' user: 'postfix' host: 'localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets)

Installation / Re: AL10 Install Problem
« Last post by Starburst on June 02, 2025, 12:35:50 AM »TBE -- to be expected. Some more transparency and communication from the devs would be very desirable and would assure other current & future customers. A roadmap, changelogs, a dev blog... anything would be good.
Agreed.
OpenSSL 3.x is already in AL8 & AL9.
Trying to Keep it backwards compatible to an EOL OS (CentOS 7) at this point isn't worth it, and is doing more harm.
And really EL8/AL8 is out of it development phase, and in it's security updates only phase.
There is a reason beta's are released, so programmers have time for updates, and not fall behind the 8.

When this option is checked, there should be a positive return running the following command:
Code: [Select]
postconf | grep reject_unknown_client_hostname
We should see this returned:
Code: [Select]
smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_unknown_client_hostname
Upon inspection, after selecting the option and rebuilding the mail server, it failed to change the one line in the main.cf file:
Code: [Select]
smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_unknown_client
Manually edited the file and injected the "_hostname" to resolve.
