Migration from other control panels / Re: Migration to...
« Last post by Starburst on May 17, 2026, 09:56:54 AM »Looks like another HestiaCP (which is free, no matter the amount of domains) with a different theme.
Have to agree that CWP doesn't officially have PHP 8.4 & 8.5, but there are guides on alphagnu.com that show you how to add that support.
But the main problem of PHP is they dropped some modules in 8.4, and they now have to be loaded via PECL.
If you have the MariaDB.repo file setup, MariaDB updates simply with just dnf update.
Speaking of which, 10.11.17-1 just hit.
But if you like that panel, and like Debian, check out HestiaCP. https://hestiacp.com
There is also CyberPanel that supports AlmaLinux 10 and PHP 8.5.
The current CSF 15.10 also fully works with it.

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: BUG* backup_manager2 not connecting to ftp server
« Last post by apartamenti on May 17, 2026, 06:08:50 AM »? Jose just talked about releasing an update possibly this weekend that resolves the new backup issues.
I hope that's true, because I'm currently looking for an alternative panel.

Nginx / Re: New Nginx Vulnerability CVE-2026-42945
« Last post by overseer on May 17, 2026, 03:18:24 AM »Successfully updated to nginx 1.31.0 by following Sandeep's guide (choose the mainline version, not stable):
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/55-how-to-install-latest-stablemainline-nginx-in-cwp-centos-89-stream-almalinux-89-rockylinux-89/
but for the actual install line you have to ignore system excludes:

Nginx / Re: New Nginx Vulnerability CVE-2026-42945
« Last post by overseer on May 17, 2026, 01:24:39 AM »AlmaLinux's official instructions are close to that:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/587-brotli-and-nginx-1262-issues/
Code: [Select]
sudo dnf clean metadata && sudo dnf upgrade nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginxBut seemingly not that simple with the CWP-installed 1.24 version. And Sandeep's guide for updating to 1.26 on AlphaGNU is outdated:https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/587-brotli-and-nginx-1262-issues/

Migration from other control panels / Re: Migration to...
« Last post by overseer on May 16, 2026, 10:22:46 PM »Never heard of it before. It's only live this year and was in beta since 2024, so 2 years old. You would have to switch lineages to use it (Debian/Ubuntu), so a fresh install needed. I personally couldn't use it because its pricing is comparable to cPanel for the number of domains I host (a lot of my user accounts has multiple domain permutations so domains is a heavier count than users).

Migration from other control panels / Migration to...
« Last post by DragoCom on May 16, 2026, 06:47:25 PM »This is more of a migration to question then a migration from question. I have had it with CWP, lack of updates, no support for PHP 8.4/8.5, it's like pulling teeth to update mariabd and on and on and on.
I have found a GREAT panel and tried it on an old amd atlon cpu with 6gb ram and 100gb drive and it rocks. But I want to know if anyone has ever used it before I go switching, you know the whole 2 heads are better than one thing hehe.
If you HAVE used Panelica on your OWN vps/server I would like to hear from you and what you think/thought about it. It is like this, free forever but has higher levels. I tried it out, they gave me premium features for 14 days and I fell in love with it. Please, if you have tried or if you use it, let me know what you think vs cwp, vs cpanel, vs directadmin, vs aapanel and so on.
Thanks, much appreciate your input.

E-Mail / Re: Postfix mysql error
« Last post by Dangerousdave26 on May 16, 2026, 05:51:20 PM »OK that looks like everything is fixed.
This final problem was a missing line of code in the /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf file.
Those 2 lines missing are where this code was
#password=somepass
password=samesomepass
Once I deleted those 2 lines and added back in the missing code (found on one of my other CWP servers) it worked again.

CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: BUG* backup_manager2 not connecting to ftp server
« Last post by adrianofnatal on May 16, 2026, 01:29:27 PM »Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a solution to the problem; since the CWP codes are encrypted with IonCube, I can’t see how they work. Only CWP Support can help us with this, but as far as I can tell, they aren’t currently working on developing the CWP panel. I’ve been using CWP Pro for many years, and unfortunately, they’re going to lose a lot of users this way!
I feel same thing.
CWP is awesome but has a lot of bugs and we don't get this resolved.
We use PRO here too.
Thanks!
