Installation / Re: PHP is not installed

Thank you! I've restored the OS from a backup. Has your installation package fixed this issue? If so, we're ready to reinstall CWP7.

I switched my OS to AlmaLinux 8, and PHP isn't installed either.

Installation / PHP is not installed

« on: July 29, 2026, 01:37:14 AM »

I installed CWP7 on Almalinux 9. After logging into CWP7, I found that PHP Version Switcher, PHP Selector 2, and PHP-FPM Selector all couldn't select a PHP version. Clicking on the manage option gave a blank. I reinstalled it once and saw the following error, but the next step of the installation completed, and I didn't see the PHP installation process.

Mod_Security / 403 Error

« on: June 05, 2026, 04:36:50 AM »

I installed Mod Security with OWASP rules, but when I access the website, it shows a 403 error. I followed the official CWP7 guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pll0GUpSJ_Y, but I could not find my IP in the log. Why is this happening, and how can I fix the 403 error?

After installing Mod Security, Apache cannot start. In the log, I saw the following error. How should I fix it?

Apache / Re: Apache automatic shutdown

« on: November 26, 2025, 05:05:09 AM »

I checked, and I did not set up certificates for mail, webmail, ftp, or cPanel services. However, I still deleted the existing certificates and reapplied for my website (unselecting mail, webmail, FTP, or cPanel).

Let me see if this error occurs again.

Apache / Apache automatic shutdown

« on: November 26, 2025, 01:36:59 AM »

My VPS is running on CWP 0.9.8 and AlmaLinux 9.5. It has been running for several months, and everything was working fine before, but now Apache often stops automatically. When Apache stops automatically, I see the following entries in the error log

[Tue Nov 25 03:15:10.714565 2025] [ssl:warn] [pid 2664906:tid 2664906] AH01909: webmail.mydomain.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

But the subdomain webmail.mydomain.com does not exist, and I haven't applied for an SSL certificate for this domain either.

And
It will also automatically stop when someone scans.

Problems on other RedHat linux servers / Re: Logrotate did not generate the rotated log file

« on: September 21, 2025, 12:09:30 AM »

I checked the logrotate logs and found the following error:
error: error opening /usr/local/apache/domlogs/sample.com.log: Read-only file system

Then I checked the permissions and owner of this file. Its permissions are 644, and the owner is root. Both permissions and owner seem correct. Why is it still read-only?

Problems on other RedHat linux servers / Logrotate did not generate the rotated log file

« on: September 20, 2025, 01:07:45 AM »

Logrotate did not generate the rotated log file.

My config
AlmaLinux 9.6
CWP 0.9.8.1216

Contents of File: /etc/logrotate.d/sample.com.log
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/sample.com.log
{
    missingok
    daily
    copytruncate
    rotate 7
    notifempty
}

However, this feature does not trigger automatically.
Manual triggering can generate new log files.

Why is this? How to automatically generate a new log file?

Installation / Re: AlmaLinux 8 or AlmaLinux 9

Thank you. I have decided to install AlmaLinux 9. By the way, how do I upgrade MariaDB?

Installation / AlmaLinux 8 or AlmaLinux 9

« on: July 28, 2025, 11:54:06 PM »

I want to do a fresh install of CWP, but I haven't decided between AlmaLinux 8 and AlmaLinux 9 yet.

I want to know what the default MariaDB version is for AlmaLinux 8. I need a MariaDB version above 10.5.

Also, I noticed that CWP based on AlmaLinux 9 is missing some features. Which features are those?

Additionally, I noticed that the installation page indicates “EL9 is in beta stage.” Is it suitable for use in a production environment?
