Installation / Re: Is there away for the built-in DNS and Mail features not to be installed?

« on: February 20, 2023, 03:47:46 PM »

if you want to disable this and that...
it will make error for the CWP panel.. because: (the simple example)

CWP will tell ERROR found, cannot load email
why cwp tell error?
when cwp root or user loaded, it will check link integrity...

even you have already fix that,everytime cwp update (i think) u will need to re-do what u do before.
simple way
goto startup services and disable it.

but it will broke something
about dns, you can edit the template, or just ignore it.. from CF  u use IN A ? correct  ? i use CF for some my personal domain... and i set IN A and Route CF MX to gmail ...
if i have client, i just ask them to add domain DNS to my free CF DNS (savvy.xxxx or something)

and just simple like that. if i want spam score (email 10/10) i just copy my SPF/DMARC/DKIP from cwp to CF (actually there is some script to do that automatically, but for me is dificult. im n00b and too lazy RTFM )

Ok, where can I find "startup services" and where can I disable it?
Yes, I am completely using Cloudflare. So, I manually enter the DNS configuration.
I use MXRoute for my email service or MX something.
The CWP is just simply and mainly for web hosting.

Installation / New installation of CWP on Alma Linux 9. Will it work?

« on: February 20, 2023, 02:56:24 PM »

I am planning to install CWP in another VPS. I have tried using Alma Linux 8, and it works. How about Alma Linux 9? Is it already compatible with it? Thanks.

We do ours on a regular basis, no problems.

Make sure your nginx is enabled using systemctl.

Currently we had upgraded MariaDB to 10.10.3, and use the postfix repo.
The cwp.repo has been disabled.

CWP Repo disabled? Huh? What happened?

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: nginx does not start automatically

« on: February 20, 2023, 11:25:36 AM »

actually if you read the tail -f (the log) you can see that some-domain.tld having error, all you need is remove the dns/zone
or.... maybe just like your case.... BIND

That's weird. I use Cloudflare DNS so I think BIND would be completely bypassed. Right?

Thanks for replying, even though I do not know what BIND is and how to configure it and even how it works.

What I did is the following:

So you need to tell your linux to allow processes to bind to the non-local address. Just add the following line into /etc/sysctl.conf file:

# allow processes to bind to the non-local address
# (necessary for apache/nginx in Amazon EC2)
net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind = 1
and then reload your sysctl.conf by:

$ sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

which will be fine on reboots.

It is from this site.

After I did that, I can restart the server and nginx will automatically start.

Apache / I am thinking of using mod pagespeed in Apache. Do you think it's a good idea?

« on: February 17, 2023, 08:32:56 AM »

Hi there,

I plan to install mod PageSpeed since I use Apache mainly to process PHP and display web pages before going through Varnish and nginx.

Will it be compatible with CWP? I hope it won't have conflicts, though.

Here is my CWP configuration:





Thanks.

Installation / Is there away for the built-in DNS and Mail features not to be installed?

« on: February 17, 2023, 07:59:33 AM »

I am a CWP Pro user, and I love it! I am about to celebrate my first year next month!

I wonder if there is a way to prevent the installation of the built-in DNS feature of CWP because I am using Cloudflare for it. And also, the main features, too, because I use another service (website) to handle the emails of my domain.

It is because I see many errors. Regardless of how often I start my VPS, I still see the same errors. And some of them, when I start the mail services manually, they eat up a lot of memory and processes.



Let me know your thoughts, and hopefully, we'll devise a solution.

More info about my VPS and CWP installation:





Thanks!

It works by starting it manually by pressing the green start button.

Other / Re: I am not sure if Varnish is working or not.

« on: February 16, 2023, 05:02:43 AM »

Hello,

I would like to ask for help, regarding Varnish.

Whenever I use this method:

Code: [Select]

HTTP: Nginx (80) --> Varnish (82) --> Apache (8181)
HTTPS: Nginx (443) --> Varnish (82) --> Apache (8181)
And follow and use this article; I see randomly generated numbers every time I refresh it.

So, what I did is use this instead,

Code: [Select]

HTTP: Nginx (80) --> Varnish (82)
HTTPS: Nginx (443) --> Varnish (82)
However, it seems that I always receive an error saying:

Code: [Select]

Error 503 Backend fetch failed
I don't understand why. I tried using a Custom Configuration per domain, yet it still does not work.

May you please help me out?

Thanks.

This is the article that I am talking about: https://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/varnish-cache-test

Updates / Is it safe to update/upgrade server?

« on: February 16, 2023, 01:00:23 AM »

Hello,

I would like to know how I can safely update or upgrade the apps or packages on my server.
Is there a place inside the control panel to update/upgrade the apps, or should I use dnf upgrade -y?

I remembered last year, when I tried to use dnf upgrade -y, it broke the control panel.
Like, whenever I restart the server, nginx does not work. I have to start it manually.
But, I think updating the system would be beneficial, such as protecting it from security vulnerabilities.

Thanks.

I hope you can help me.

CSF Firewall / Re: How to make WireGuard work?

« on: April 05, 2022, 11:25:51 PM »

that line is in the script /etc/csf/csfpost.sh .  It's going to throw an error because the variable $port is not set.  But it should work

Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your efforts! However, to make things a little less complicated, I just purchased a VPN subscription from PureVPN since they have a partnership with LowEndBox, so I got a good deal and discount for five years. I figured I would mainly use this VPS for hosting sites, which CWP is designed to do.

CSF Firewall / Re: How to make WireGuard work?

« on: March 18, 2022, 02:16:04 AM »

he's saying the line should be

/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 51820 -j ACCEPT

however, putting
port='51820'
at the beginning of the script should have the same effect.

Oh sorry. I guess $port=51820; would not work because I thought bash scripts are similar to PHP.
Unfortunately, it still does not work.
Did I do the right thing by removing and installing firewalld first?
Would you be interested to actually access the server itself?
