hi

CentosWP work in AlmaLinux 8?  Ubuntu? FreeBSD?

[Igor S.]

It will never work on deb-based distros or BSD
Read the panel name "CentOS web panel" and try to guess for which distro was it made.

[jlucho]

I understand that centos 8 will be discontinued in Dec-2021

and my understanding is that centos 7 will be discontinued in Dec-2024

what will be the future of CentosWebpanel?

A bright future

We finished migrating over a few weeks ago. All of our servers are running on AlmaLinux 8.4 now.

Only problem is, if you are using Stream you can not migrate. As Stream is a pre-release version now. :/
You can only migrate if you are running CentOS 8.3 or 8.4

upgrade current centos 8 core to stream :

Any way to update from Centos7 to Centos 8 stream?

I know it's still recommended to stay on Centos 7 but i mean for the future one day we will need to update, is this possible or is there anything in progress for getting this done?


A complete reinstall is not a good solution as there are still a lot of things not getting backed up and restored.

Would be cool to have a solution for this scenario, not now but after Centos7 EOL

thanks

Problem is once you upgrade to Stream, you are stuck there with no return possible.

The migrations scripts for AlmaLinux & Rocky Linux only work on CentOS 8.3 or 8.4, NOT Stream.

As far as I know there is not upgrade from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 or Stream.

But the built in CWP to CWP Migration tools works great.

But migration from CentOS 8.4 (not stream) to AlmaLinux & Rocky Linux is possible with a living environment?
Someone told me that only the CentoOS Stream and then Switch to CWP Delayed Repo, is a possible way to get it working.

Yes, you can migrate from CentOS 8.4 to AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux.

You also can install Stream and them use the delayed CWP repos.
But you will always be stuck on Stream with no way to migrate.

So under Almalinux 8 and CWP can you still install and run PHP5.6? Heard there are issues with openssl and the like....
Sorry for my late question, hope this is still alive...

[Starburst]

CWP has PHP 5.6.x by default

[overseer]

Maybe it needn't be said, but really consider migrating whatever site requires it from PHP 5.6 to at least something more current like 7.4 or best is to move to the 8.x code branch. I had one hold out customer still running an ancient Joomla install that still required PHP 5.6. Nag, nag, nag them to upgrade to WordPress! (Their site was as out of date at the underlying code, so a complete refresh was in order anyway!)
