CentOS-WebPanel Bugs / Re: BUG* backup_manager2 not connecting to ftp server
« Last post by apartamenti on May 16, 2026, 08:31:24 AM »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!

None of options worked. FTP, S3, nothing.

This need attention quickly!

E-Mail / Re: Postfix mysql error
« Last post by Dangerousdave26 on May 15, 2026, 03:46:47 PM »From there I had to fix the root user, fix the control panel, set the roundcube user password, removed a bad entry in Dovecot-mysql.conf (seems when you try to set the password in mysql in the MySQL Manager it writes the password to this file and a few others but in the wrong place.) same issue in the dovecot-token.conf file. I simply commented out the line.
following should all be on one line.
password=somepass
With those fixed I was now faced with a could not log on issue in roundcube.
Looking at the dovecot.log file there was a sieve error message that I fixed by data at the end of this thread.
http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/dovecot/dovecot-sieve-error/msg51022/#msg51022
Now the next thing on the list is this issue.
Most of these issues I have no idea how they happened.

« Last post by Dangerousdave26 on May 15, 2026, 03:42:08 PM »My reply is too long I will have to break it up.
What started all of this was I wanted to install Apache mod_limitipconn. I need some way to stop members from downloading multiple files from our server.
I followed the instructions from here as I couldn't find any helpful information about the mod in this forum. Yes that ended up being a bad idea. I had less trouble setting up the server when we moved from cPanel to CWP. This has been one of those things to put on the list of things to not do again.
https://installati.one/install-mod_limitipconn-almalinux-8/
I installed mod_limitipconn and it broke apache so I removed mod_limitipconn and it removed the mod and it also removed apache. Aftter I figured out the service was actually gone I opened a ticket with CWP.
After they worked on it for awhile they let me know I should probably just reload the server and restore our sites from back as there was also issues with MySQl etc. I am not sure how that happened.
Not knowing if it was possible I asked them did they mean complete reformat the drive and reinstall?
Their next response was
I rebooted and the control panel didn't work, The control panel was throwing the mysql couldn't connect error. I could still get in with SSH and I found MariaDB would not start because of an error message "invalid something open_files_limit=65535"
In the /etc/my.cnf file there was a value "open_files_limit=65535". I put a comment in front of the line and then MariaDB started. THat didn't fix the Control Panel because the root user password had been changed. I knew the password it was in my lists. I found the same link to digital Ocean to reset the root user password that was provided in my MYSQL thread I started. The issue is I reset the password wrong so it forced the password at the console. But I still fixed the control panel.
Once I was in apache sevice would not start. I eventually traced this to the ssl certificates and DNS entries. Some sites were missing a bunch of dns entries. I first figured out I could get apache to run if I removed the SSL certs from anything that had to do with email. Then I found the dns entries missing once those were put back in the ssl certs updated correctly again and those items ran.
Every time the control panel webpage changed I would see an error message just briefly. In addition the postfix and Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server service would not run.
Warning: mysqli_connect():Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost'(using password: YES) in /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/rerources/admin/include/functions.php
I tried to reset the postfix mysql password hoping it would fix the issue but it did not.
At that point I went back to the ticket I had open and asked for help. They let me know the issue had been fixed and it was. Postfix service now ran but Dovecot did not. The error logs kept complaining about a certificate on one of the sites. I removed that domain as it was not being used anyway. That fixed the issue and dovecot ran.
I thought I was almost home free and discovered that round cube could not connect to the database. I chose to ask in the ticket again and their testing broke the control panel (they changed the root password) and they advised me the issue was I had secured the root user with a password on the terminal which is not necessary.
That prompted me to open this post as I didn't know how to set it up how it should be.

We have adjusted the configuration settings, kindly reboot the server and check again.

Have you created a ticket or notification about this? We might be releasing a new version this weekend, and I'd like to resolve this for you as well.

MySQL / Re: Remove MariaDB root user password
« Last post by overseer on May 15, 2026, 02:27:59 PM »Just to leave a "for the record" note: if it says "connection to storage server failed" -- that pertains to dovecot/IMAP.

« Last post by overseer on May 15, 2026, 02:24:18 PM »Correct -- there is no "users" table in the "postfix" DB. But the roundcube DB more pertains to the end user settings -- last login, various options in the Roundcube settings (theme, identities, etc.) -- it doesn't really pertain to auth. Have you been adjusting things in the postfix, dovecot, and/or roundcube configs?
