MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?

« on: September 10, 2025, 09:08:36 AM »

The output from mariadb --version is
mariadb from 11.4.8-MariaDB, client 15.2 for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

Therefore the CWP dashboard, bottom left is reporting the client version 15.2 and not the mariadb version 11.4.8

Is that a bug or is it by design ?

Thanks.

MySQL / Re: Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?

« on: September 10, 2025, 06:43:59 AM »

The web apps I'm running recommended mariadb 11.4 over 10.11 so I decided to go with 11.4.

I followed the instructions step by step and it installed fine - no observable errors so far.

All websites appear to be running normally but noticeably faster on the same hardware which is a bonus.

The only thing I have observed is that on the CWP dashboard the database is now reporting 15.2 and not 11.4. Whereas it was reporting 10.5.x before the upgrade. Do you observe the same thing on your servers ?

However the web apps correctly identify mariadb 11.4 and they appear to be working normally.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Thanks for the mariadb upgrade instructions.

The first step is to remove the old version of the mariadb.

Before doing that surely the running websites on the cwp server need shutting down somehow etc... ? How can that be done easily ?

Or do you just follow the instructions step by step and remove mariadb with the website running ? That does not seem to be a safe way to proceed ?

Thanks.

I'm running AlmaLinux 9.5.x

Are mariadb 10.11.x LTS and 11.4.x LTS both suitable for CWP in production ?

And do the above upgrade instructions work for both versions of mariadb ?

If I installed a fresh copy of CWP which version of MariaDB would be installed by default today?

Thanks.

MySQL / Mariadb 10.5.x Support has Expired - How to Upgrade Manually ?

« on: August 08, 2025, 09:16:19 AM »

Hello,

My current CWP install has mariadb 10.5.27.

And I correct in thinking mariadb 10.5.x support has expired recently ?

Do the developers have any plans to update mariadb to 10.11 or possibly 11.x any time soon in an update preserving database contents ?

Or do the developers and or anyone in the community have a set of working instruction on how to update mariadb to 10.11 or possibly 11.x for Almalinux 9.5 that does not break the CWP install ?

Thanks.

Suggestions / Re: Long Account Names / Rename Account Names

« on: July 21, 2025, 02:50:27 PM »

Hello,

Yes I totally agree with you that the account name should not be easy to guess.

Yes appending alpha numeric characters to the end of account names to make them secure is a wonderful idea.

Am I correct in thinking that short passwords are easier to brute force that longer passwords. Therefore having the ability to enter longer account names makes them much harder to brute force as well as being more readable at the same time.

I think longer account names would be a great benefit to CWP.

However more importantly for me would be the ability to change the domain name on an account so that you can changing a staging site to a live very quickly and effortless.

For example.

Account name: account_a
Domain name: live.domain.com

Account name: account_b
Domain name: staging1.domain.com

Rename/swap domains

Account name: account_a
Domain name: staging1.domain.com

Account name: account_b
Domain name: live.domain.com

Thanks.

Suggestions / Long Account Names / Rename Account Names

« on: July 15, 2025, 11:42:46 AM »

Hello,

I have a couple of ideas to make CWP accounts easier to manage.

Long Account Names

Account names are currently limited to eight characters. Would the developers please increase the account name length so that account names can be the same as domain names which are generally much longer. I'm sure there will be a lot of users like me that dislike the eight character limit.


Rename Account /Domain Names

Account and domain names once created are effectively permanent. The only way to rename them is to create a new account then backup and restore from the old to the new which is very time consuming.

A more elegant solution would be to have the ability to rename an account and domain name for the following reasons. If CWP is hosting a production website and also has other development staging sites. A rename feature would allow the domain to be set against a staging site by running a script. No messing about creating new accounts, backing up restoring just to make a staging site the production live site.

The code or scripts must exist to create an account and domain name then it must be a trivial task to duplicate the code and instead of creating the necessary resources, just rename the existing resources. If the developers don’t wish to add that feature to CWP then please identify the code/script and I will do the modifications myself. And then I can run the script/code from the command line.

Thanks.

SSL / Unable to create AutoSSL for sub domains

« on: March 27, 2025, 08:34:57 AM »

Hello,

I currently have two CWP servers one for the master domain and one for the sub domain. I wish to keep them on separate servers.

On the first server I have an account/domain example.com

On the second server I have an account/domain sub.example.com

On the second server when I logon in the user panel and go to AutoSSL and try and pull down the domain list its empty and I cant create an AutoSSL certificate for sub.example.com

On the second server when i logon in the admin panel and go webserver ssl and try and create an AutoSSL and select the account name and then under domain pull down the list I cannot choose the subdomain which means I cant create a certificate that way either.

How do I create an AutoSSL for an account which is only a sub domain ?

Thanks.

Installation / Apache, php-fpm, php.ini and public_html

« on: January 27, 2025, 02:10:04 PM »

Hello,

I'm using the latest copy of cwp pro, apache and PHP-FPM.

Question 1
When you create a new account by default the website  root path is public_html.

I wish to change the website root path for a given account / domain. I don’t want to make a global change for all accounts / domains just for specific ones only.

I seem to recall that you can create a custom PHP-FPM  vhost file however I'm not sure which file to modify or its file path.  Can anyone help ?

Question 2
After changing the website root path will the cwp user logon portal php settings reflect the website root path change as well ?

Question 3
When using PHP-FPM where do you put the php.ini for a given account / domain so that the website inherits the php.ini setting ?  I don’t wish to set php.ini globally for a particular php version.

Thanks.

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Monthly website statistics not working

« on: March 01, 2023, 02:52:07 PM »

Hello,

Daily and weekly website statistic reports work Ok however monthly reports don’t work.

The data field never gets populated with any options when frequency is set to monthly.

There is twelve months of data on the server.

I have found one other reference to this problem in the forum from 2021 but there is no solution:
https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/index.php?topic=11161.msg38181#msg38181

Monthly reports would be really useful.

Please fix this bug.

Thanks.

PHP / Re: How to change the shell ssh php version without affecting php-fpm selector

« on: August 18, 2022, 07:22:20 AM »

'/usr/local/cwp/' only contains php71 which is dated when the cwp server was built.

How do you change or add more php versions to this directory ?

Or should I be using a different php directory ?

PHP / How to change the shell ssh php version without affecting php-fpm selector

« on: August 17, 2022, 04:48:28 PM »

I'm using php-fpm selector to specify the version of php to use for a website and that works well.

However when I use an ssh terminal as either root or as the user account the php version in the shell is only 5.6.37.

I need to run some scripts in a shell on a website that needs a later version of php.

How do you change the php version for the "root shell" and a "user account" shell without affecting php-fpm selector operation ?

Thanks.

Cluster CWP (Multi-Server Manager) has been listed on the change log page as coming soon for sometime.

Is there a planned release date for this new feature ?

Will this allow for longer account usernames as the current limit is restrictive by today's standards ?

The SuiteCRM addon script installer currently only installs SuiteCRM version 8.0.1

The latest version of SuiteCRM is 8.1.2 and will soon change again to 8.2.x.

Can we edit these scripts or do you have to fix and rollout new scripts ?

Where are these scripts located ?
