Apache / Re: How to stop malicious scans
« on: March 27, 2025, 05:24:16 PM »
Also consider installing Wordfence on the affected WP installs. It will block bad actors like this.
But Netino's solution is a good general purpose block for bots without user agent strings.

Problems on other RedHat linux servers / Re: error_log: binary file matches
« on: March 26, 2025, 09:24:50 PM »
Built-in CWP terminal, or SSH session? Generally, you should not be hard-coding the TERM value. Linux tries very hard to set it to a sane value depending on things like which terminal you are actually using.
You can always remove the log file:

Nginx / Re: Restrict access to a cwp_service

Would the CSF firewall work for you, or are you trying to be very selective about individual services?

CSF Firewall / Re: Firewall CFS not enable alma8 - al8 (fixed)
« on: March 24, 2025, 09:31:43 PM »
Sometimes the CWP web GUI gets out of sync if you do things behind its back in the CLI. Either reboot the whole server and start CSF from the web GUI, or try stopping in the CLI and then starting it up in the web GUI.

CentOS 8 Problems / Re: Problems installing packages and updates with Almalinux8
« on: March 20, 2025, 06:44:41 PM »But maybe some plugin need the older PHP.Yes, that's the root of the problem! Some legacy customer sites are running older versions of plugins and WP themes, all interdependent, so I have seen this on a shared server. 8.1 wasn't possible for full compatibility, so I had to run with php 7.4.
php 7.4 on AlmaLinux 9:

If WordPress is your lifeblood, you should stick with AL8 and PHP 7.4 for full WP compatibility. Hopefully 8.1 will be a truly viable option soon.

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: Job for httpd.service failed
« on: March 20, 2025, 12:08:52 AM »
Starburst was making a point that on your system, Apache (httpd) is only running on IPv6, not on IPv4. Is your server set up for IPv4 & IPv6 co-existing, or did you configure it to only handle IPv6? Mine is actually configured to disable IPv6. (Probably on the next major OS EOL cycle I will re-enable IPv6 and have co-existing protocols.)

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: CWP to CWP Account Migration
« on: March 19, 2025, 01:08:55 PM »
Let's put those rumors to rest -- once and for all. CWP is active & alive. EL9 support is a long beta process, but it will emerge with better QoS as a result of the longer testing cycle. Since we're in Enterprise Linux land, that should tell you what we prefer -- long & stable.

E-Mail / Re: I send email but the email is not coming
« on: March 16, 2025, 07:11:08 PM »
Do you have a resolvable FQDN A record and working reverse DNS (PTR) provided by your hosting company? These are critical to ensure mail delivery. What is the IP address of the server so we can test its DNS setup?

}(which is why I would name cyberspace's config "modsec" or something like that, since your purpose is to rotate the Mod Security audit & error logs. The server-wide access & error_log files in that directory shouldn't be growing much in size unless you have something misconfigured.)225

Try it and see if Softaculous works for you.
