Installation / Re: How I upgrade the MariaDB 10.5 to 10.6?
« Last post by Starburst on Today at 12:57:19 AM »That link you posted doesn't work with CWP and will just corrupt the server.
It's for installation on a base EL9 system without a control panel.

Updates / Re: Is CWP dead? Looking for alternatives
« Last post by Starburst on Today at 12:52:04 AM »Here we go Again...
CWP is NOT 'dead'.
Last updated came out on 2025-12-29
The last Apache update from them was 2.4.65, and you can manually update to 2.4.66 easily.
You can also upgrade manually to PHP 8.4 and 8.5 using the info at AlphaGNU.
But ionCube doesn't work with PHP 8.5 as of yet, it's still in beta.

But by all means move to cPanel...

CSF Firewall / Re: Should we update CSF to V15??
« Last post by Starburst on Today at 12:47:04 AM »It's NOT a 'workaround', it's an upgrade path.
The original CSF made by Way to the Web Ltd. is dead.
Hence why you haven't been getting updates.
Not sure where you have been, but that was announced and posted all over the place last year.

Here it shows how to install, I know that, but how I remove the current version because it doesn't work to install any other mariadb versions.
I get this following your link:

Installation / How I upgrade the MariaDB 10.5 to 10.6?
« Last post by Insan3Us on January 11, 2026, 06:10:27 PM »Hi Guys,
I encountered a big problem...
I want to upgrade the mariadb from 10.5 to 10.6.
I tried the following tutorials:
https://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/mariadb-upgrade-to-new-version --- I think is an old tutorial because the repository is not valid anymore.
https://www.liquidweb.com/blog/upgrade-mariadb-on-linux-almalinux/ --- doesn't work also.
What is weird, is the following:
First of all when I try to remove the old mariadb 10.5 I get this:
After I stop the mariadb etc...:
When I put the repository from here: https://mirror.mariadb.org/yum/10.6/almalinux9-amd64/
And start the installation I get:
That means, I think, the mariadb 10.5 is not removed... but how to remove if the command above doesn't work?
And please tell me if I use the proper repository

Updates / Is CWP dead? Looking for alternatives
« Last post by kandalf on January 11, 2026, 11:58:23 AM »I have several production servers running CWP, but it feels completely abandoned. No relevant updates for years, security issues take forever to fix with zero communication, and the changelog is stagnant.
PHP is at 8.5 but we're stuck on 8.3. Roundcube, Nginx, Apache versions are all outdated and never updated.
What do you recommend? I'm seriously considering moving to cPanel despite the cost. I like CWP's features (PHP, Node.js, backups, mail server), but everything feels dated. Support is terrible, no blog or notifications about critical updates.
What alternatives exist? Is anyone else feeling this way? What other panels have similar tools but a more active community?

CSF Firewall / Should we update CSF to V15??
« Last post by kandalf on January 11, 2026, 11:48:59 AM »CSF updates stopped in August. What's the recommended approach: update to V15 or use the workaround from https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/csf-firewall-error-oops-unable-to-download-no-host-option-provided/ to keep v14.24?
I need some opinions, I have multiple servers and I want to go to a secure approach

CSF Firewall / Re: Continued CWP support with new CSF fork
« Last post by Purelaise on January 08, 2026, 09:50:30 AM »Yes, you should be able to go from the closed source (14.24) to the open source version (15+).
Starburst, have you at all dabbled with the other major CSF fork, Sentinel Firewall?
https://github.com/sentinelfirewall/sentinel
1. Yes, you can follow the upgrade guide on the KB to go from 14.24 to 15.08
2. Yea, Sentinel is being maintained by some cPanel admins, and is their primary focus.
As such, they aren't too worried about other panels or OS'es.
Where I asked Aetherinox to support AL10.
Also gave him a CWPpro license for testing.
Thanks that worked! Is there any thing we need to do to enable auto updating from the new source or just keep it manual?
Thanks
The new update re-enables auto update checks, as long as those config files where unlocked when CSF was updated.
Brilliant!
