Issues with brand new fresh install with almalinux 9.4

I am having issues with Apache starting and Bind starting. I have a fresh install of almalinux 9.4 and cwp pro latest. Here is what the logs say for each:

EL9 support is still beta and there are still bugs. Best to use EL8 releases at present (AlmaLinux 8 being the most fit for production use).

I only have a few options with my host. I wanted CentOS7.9 but they will not allow EOL OS's. The screenshot is my only options. Will CWP Pro run on any of these options without issues like I am having now?

I installed Rocky Linux 9 to try and see if it works better. Out of ghe box the services are working the same as it did with almalinux 9 until I set nginx, apache and varnish and changed php to 8.2.21

Rocky did the same thing. Apache works right out of the box, you change to nginx anything apache fails, if you add your hostname and nameservers then bind fails.

Can you not do the Manual Linux Installer and provide an AlmaLinux 8 installation media/ISO?

No they won't allow any EOL distro's so I gave up and got Webuzo and I am actually loving it. So much more configuration options but I am getting used to it already hehe. Thanks for your help though

AlmaLinux 8 is NOT EOL -- it is supported almost to the end of the decade. CWP 9 is still in beta, and EL9 releases are still a bit young -- not what you want as a foundation for a server. (CentOS 8 Stream is EOL)

You can't have any services installed before installing CWP.

So if Apache is working 'out of the box', you are installing AlmaLinux 9.4 LAMP.
That won't work.

Reimage with the bare AlmaLinux 9.4

Setup your networking, hostname, timzone.

AlmaLinux 8 is NOT EOL -- it is supported almost to the end of the decade. CWP 9 is still in beta, and EL9 releases are still a bit young -- not what you want as a foundation for a server. (CentOS 8 Stream is EOL)

Contabo removed AlmaLinux 8 from their supported OS's.
There are a couple others that have done the same thing, not knowing AL8 & AL9 are running concurrent.

We are very excited about the progress we have seen so far and we would like to have support for AlmaLinux 9 very soon or by the end of the year. It would be fantastic to have this version in our community, as we know that many users are eagerly awaiting the improvements and features that AlmaLinux 9 will bring.

I hope the support team can read this.

CWP works 90% now on AlmaLinux 9.
Some features have to be manually installed, like ClamAV, SpamAssassin and Amavis. But are easy to do with dnf.

CWP -> CWP Migration doesn't fully work.
PHP only supports 7.4.33 or 8.2/8.3. But that isn't a deal breaker, since even 7.4.x is past EOL. And 8.4 is in alpha.

You can't have any services installed before installing CWP.

Thank you very much, I solved many problems thanks to you.

You're welcome.

We are always tweaking the AL9 install process, that's just a small fraction of the current AL9 internal guide we use that is 12 pages long. :/

Thank you for your instructions. Working well so far but I always get following error message:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'intl' (tried: /usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl (/usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl.so (/usr/local/cwp/php71/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20190902/intl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0

Can anyone help me with this?
