E-Mail / Re: login on roundcube just using "user" instead user@domain.com

« on: April 30, 2023, 10:36:12 PM »

I do that on my one dedicated bare metal server, not running CWP -- login is via short user name, not the full e-mail address. I would have to check within CWP what is possible. Unless a dev can answer first...

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: Hide CWP Name From Hackers

« on: April 30, 2023, 10:34:35 PM »

Easier is to move the CWP admin port from 2030,2031 to some other port of your choosing. I am running an alternate port and don't use plain HTTP (2030), nor the cPanel port choices of 2086,2087 as with WHM. There are plenty of forum posts that detail this, as well as guides online.

Backup / Re: Deleted Backups but Disk Space not reclaimed

« on: April 30, 2023, 03:11:26 PM »

Tangentially related, you may want to periodically search for large files that customers create or backups that get hidden away. It's all the more important on a VPS setting where you have limited disk space and need to keep as much free space as possible. I have had customers running various WordPress backup solutions, creating tons of large backups, not realizing I already have daily/weekly/monthly backups going via CWP. So I have had to find those culprits and exorcise them with a vengeance!

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: Login CWP Cloudflare

« on: April 25, 2023, 05:16:16 PM »

Try turning off the redirect and manage it yourself on the CWP level (with the CSF firewall). I switched my CWP to run an alternate port and only have the HTTPS custom port exposed on the firewall. It will help you avoid getting profiled by someone doing a Shodan search for ports 2030 and 2031, indicators of running CWP and possibly identifying unpatched weaknesses. And since I do the management on my servers solo, I definitely turned off the cPanel wannabe ports 2086,2087. I have left 2083 enabled due to customer familiarity with that port for the customer panel.

DNS / Re: Issues with reverse DNS / PTR

« on: April 25, 2023, 05:12:07 PM »

Are you running your own DNS servers outside of CWP? I use Cloudflare for my DNS infrastructure. Is your IP block on a single subnet? For sure you wouldn't want to run your own DNS if you don't have a 2nd subnet to split up the DNS servers so as to avoid DDoS or other problems.

MySQL / Re: MySQL Database Server - Failed

Magic
Well, something akin to it -- the brittle nature of some aspects of MariaDB/MySQL. I have had many problems with InnoDB along the way, so make sure you are keeping regular DB dumps (nightly) or you could be bitten by DB corruption.

CentOS Configuration / Re: How to change a primary domain in Centos web panel

« on: April 25, 2023, 05:07:02 PM »

It can be done manually, but you would have to be meticulous in changing it all over the place. So it is easier to do as PakPos suggests -- create another account with the desired domain name and migrate your current one over.

CentOS 6 Problems / Re: /htdocs/resources/admin/include/cron.php has expired. in Unknown on line 0

Is it untenable for you to update to CentOS 7? CentOS 6 was EOL in Nov 2020.

You own & manage your own IP space? Of does your ISP or hosting provider manage the IP space?

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: Login CWP Cloudflare

« on: April 25, 2023, 12:14:57 AM »

I am using CWP and Cloudflare for my DNS infrastructure. Do you have Cloudflare configured as Flexible or Full for SSL? Do you have it set to always redirect plain HTTP connections to HTTPS?

Updates / Re: Yum Manager cant update

« on: April 24, 2023, 10:42:13 PM »

Run

Code: [Select]

sudo yum -y updatein a shell. I'm comfortable enough with that level of updates that I have it run daily via cron, right before I log in every morning. So my systems are kept up to date and I don't see the nag notification about updates. So far I haven't been bitten by it (over several years) and if anything did go wrong, I am ready to tend to things.

Information / Re: CentOS Configuration File Locations (CWP)

« on: April 18, 2023, 02:02:09 PM »

CWP mostly lives in /usr/local/cwpsrv
So you would want to look at the /usr/local/cwpsrv/conf and /usr/local/cwpsrv/conf.d directories

I too live in D-S-Hell. Same internet service since 2000 -- living on 18Mbps down, 1Mbps up. Only other viable option would be Starlink, but soon our electric co-operative is going to switch on fiber to the premises! Woo-hoo -- almost 25 years into the 21st century!

PHP / Re: I want to go with non Pro version of CWP? and make sure all processes are runnin

« on: April 18, 2023, 09:36:21 AM »

I'm sorry, I can't guide you in that because I don't have direct experience with regressing to the non-Pro, free version of CWP. I just pay the annual $$ fee and am {generally} happy. A stable place until the great 2024 upheaval when CentOS 7 goes EOL!

SSL / Re: How to Change SSL Port number in cwp?

« on: April 17, 2023, 06:11:34 PM »

Easiest would be an iptables redirect, so you don't have to re-configure all services/vhosts. And your new port would need to be opened in the CSF firewall (/etc/csf/csf.conf). Start by enabling port forwarding:

Code: [Select]

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwardThen you have to add the following rules to your iptables NAT table:

Code: [Select]

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to 8443`
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to 8443`
