Other / Re: Paid Support Sabotaged My Production Server – Urgent Escalation Request 487931

« on: April 28, 2025, 12:06:19 AM »

Always here to help...

But, I do not like these kinds of threads. Kind of like digging a hole in the ground and yelling into it -- about the same benefit. I concede that CWP support could use some increased customer service and politeness, but there are certain personalities in play and also an eastern European culture that differs from my own. But I can work with them. And thus far my couple of support tickets have been handled professionally and promptly -- despite the time zone differences. But as I've said before, I lean hard into the DIY mode and challenge myself with self-reliance for managing servers. And this forum is also a very valuable resource to glean from, with many helpful and knowledgeable folks around.

More info would be helpful. What are the full circumstances? What do you have to work with?
Do you have a copy of /var/vmail? Do you include mail in your daily/monthly/weekly backups?
What have you tried to do to restore mail?

There is already an "authoritative" thread regarding that on this forum. Follow these directions, but amend them to version 1.5.9, a secure LTS version. (Change anything in the instructions from 1.5.8 to 1.5.9):

If it's disabled in the kernel, there shouldn't be anything left to do (after rebooting). Can you show the results of

If unused, consider disabling IPv6 to simplify your network stack (I have):

Starburst has good guides here on how to bring up a new AlmaLinux 8 or 9 server. Use Alma 8 if you plan on doing the CWP -> CWP Migration. Here is his updated installer script that installs with MariaDB 10.6 (which you should then upgrade to 10.11 LTS).
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-install-tutorials/updated-cwp-installer-script-for-almalinux-8-with-mariadb-10-6/

Your other idea of doing the new backup and bringing those over would work for a new Alma 9 server. But there is a little bit of configuring you should do on your fresh system before installing CWP and bringing over accounts. Check his posts for more info.

Can you determine where the error occurred? Do you have the home directory created, DB user, etc?

CentOS 7 is EOL. You will have to update your repositories from "mirror" to "vault" -- but as an EOL operating system, updates are dried up and some software support is ending. Best to migrate to AlmaLinux 8 ASAP.

Abu_Haron, RHEL proper would be free for you:

Then you wouldn't have to worry about stability on your server.

What OS are you running? What is your basic server configuration? CWP Pro?

As a matter of course on a new server, run

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/mariadb-secure-installationMake sure the default test DB is removed to close up these types of potential security holes.

Sorry, without access to a CentOS 9 Stream system, I can't fully test the procedure. I can only look up a possible solution, the route that I would pursue if I were in your position. Can you confirm that you added the Raven repository according to this linked guide?

Add the 3rd party repository (community version of EPEL) per these instructions:
https://www.simplified.guide/redhat-centos-fedora/repo-raven-install
Then install the PHP 5.6 package (with dependencies):

Code: [Select]

dnf --enablerepo=raven-modular install --assumeyes php56-php-cli(untested by me)

AlmaLinux 9 is more recommended for server use than a beta-quality OS such as CentOS Stream. That said, you can install 5.6 via a 3rd party repository (Raven Modular):
