Information / Root Cause of Fourm Crash
« Last post by Andrew C on March 31, 2026, 07:14:45 AM »Hello,
I think everyone knows the forum keeps going down or becomes unresponsive.
I think I have determine the root cause.
On the right hand side of the forum under new posts you can see two links for a given post. The thread name and the user who submitted the thread. If you click on the username link by mistake the page does not work. Then forum website becomes unavailable for a time period and then recovers shortly after. If you click on the thread link the forum continues to work until you click a username link, Clicking the username link causes the problem, It seems to be 100% repeatable.
I hope the forum administrator can implement a solution to the problem soon.
Thanks.

MySQL / Re: Allow Remote Access to MariaDB Database
« Last post by Andrew C on March 31, 2026, 06:57:43 AM »Hello cyberspace,
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide a step by step guide. I appreciate your assistance.
However if you read my second post on this subject which I published a few days ago I had already implemented remote access to Mariadb on the CWP platform and it works rather well for my purposes. In fact remote access to mariadb in works well in general.
Yes I am expert with mariadb and firewalls running on a stand alone servers and the security features they provide etc. However as mariadb is a core feature of CWP I asked the question "how to" before making an attempt as a good engineer does. There might have been some extra complexity that I was unaware off. Anyway I resolved it my self a while ago.
Thank you for your help anyway its appreciated.

MySQL / Re: Allow Remote Access to MariaDB Database
« Last post by cyberspace on March 30, 2026, 10:22:42 PM »If you want to provide remote access to MariaDB/MySQL from some specific IP then:
1. Configure MySQL/MariaDB listening the public IP address of your server or local IP address if the connection come from the local users. Look at "bind-address" it mysql/mariadb config
2. Disable or comment "skip-networking" in mysql/mariadb config
3. Open the port 3306 in CSF/firewall for specific IP address only
tcp|in|d=3306|s=put_remote_ip_here
4. Restart CSF/Firewall
5. Make the user allowed to connect to the database from the remote IP.
I recommend you to look at the docs https://mariadb.com/docs/server/mariadb-quickstart-guides/mariadb-remote-connection-guide

Yes it is common place to remote access servers and web hosts by professionals who know what they are doing. And no matter how many times you try to dismiss that fact I will correct you.
You need to turnoff the gas light and stop gas lighting people !
Thanks.

« Last post by Starburst on March 30, 2026, 01:48:51 PM »I was just correcting your multiple assertions in your posts, that it was "common place" to open up the MariaDB port to outside attacks...
That was a false statement, as it is NOT "common place". If it was, it would be the default setting.
And ONLY stated that the DEFAULT security setting on CWP, CyberPanel, HestiaCP, cPanel, and ALL other panels on installation, is that it is set to localhost only automatically.

« Last post by Andrew C on March 30, 2026, 06:23:40 AM »Hello starburst,
Are you providing a CWP change log on the forum, that would be a huge benefit to the community ?
If you read my earlier post I did say allow access to specific IP addresses on the local network and not the internet.
If users wish to use CWP with its default security they can. However if users want to allow remote access to their CWP servers then they can also do that if they choose. You have no right to say which solution is right or wrong as you don't know the details of how its been implemented.
Thanks.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: EL9 recent update casusing boot issue
« Last post by Starburst on March 29, 2026, 07:56:37 AM »Thanks for all suggestion. But i found the solution.
after debugging i found that it is cased by memory. as its on VM. i update the start memory size to 2GB and the problem was resolved.
Thanks again. hope it might help someone.
Just curious how much RAM it had?
I've run AlmaLinux 8 on a server with 512MB before.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: EL9 recent update casusing boot issue
« Last post by overseer on March 28, 2026, 11:26:08 PM »I would say 4GB is a more realistic minimum for a functioning server. More is better, but that is a workable minimum for a lower traffic server.
