CentOS 7 Problems / Re: problem with migration from cpanel to cwp
« on: December 13, 2023, 06:57:24 PM »
Is this a VPS running cPanel you are connecting to? You have root access on both servers? Is your CWP server IP address allowed on the firewall? Temporarily try an 8 character root password -- I had an issue back in 2020 when I was doing cPanel migrations and that was one key factor back then...

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: Nginx & Varnish & Apache
« on: December 13, 2023, 06:54:41 PM »
When evaluating whether to use Varnish, I have to consider whether the added complexity layer is worth the ~20% performance gain over just Nginx -- is it worth it? Also, whether I have RAM or fast storage to burn for cache purposes. The answer to those questions is rarely yes. Only on one server for one site has it proved profitable, where the VM is a 1:1 user of the server and needs to milk all the performance it can get (high traffic, Drupal core). Generally, application-level caching and Nginx tuning have proven to be the best mix of results.

Installation / Re: CWP and cloudflare zerotrust
« on: December 12, 2023, 10:30:03 PM »
I used to try to self-host but it turned into a fool's errand as it was far better to pay the ~$50-80/mo for colo space vs. trying to beef up a residential or small biz connection, get a static IP, get rDNS, fight against port blockages (80, 443, 25), pay for a queuing mail server, pay for a decent UPS battery backup, buy a decent router, etc. I mean, it was a great learning experience, but I will never go back to that!

DNS / Re: rDNS is required to match the hostname of CWP
« on: December 12, 2023, 10:23:43 PM »
On my mail servers, I check for valid FQDN. Also checking to make sure rDNS matches a forward DNS on the server. But NOT checking to make sure rDNS = hostname. I think that would be an unduly restrictive requirement. My servers are named sequentially srv1.hostname.net, srv2.hostname.net and each has that rDNS in place from the data center/network provider. Forward DNS for my hostname.net domain agrees with the rDNS, so mail goes through just fine.

Information / Re: Connection refused from ffmpeg.pro/cwp2|bash
« on: December 07, 2023, 02:26:27 PM »
Is ffmpeg pro something you intentionally installed? The IP address wget is attempting to reach is in Frankfurt, Germany (Digital Ocean).

Installation / Re: Logrotate configuration not working
« on: December 07, 2023, 02:23:43 PM »
Did you create the file manually via a shell or did you use the CWP built-in facility?

Updates / Re: How can update PHP for cwpsrv
« on: December 04, 2023, 03:28:24 PM »
No word yet on that. I have offered to be an CWP EL9 beta tester, but no confirmation on that either.

DNS / Re: Reverse dns setup
« on: December 03, 2023, 09:57:20 PM »
CWP is added-on to CentOS and uses industry-standard BIND (named) so you can just set up a reverse DNS conf file for your zone. A lot of this tutorial would apply (minus the private network aspect):

A true masochist indeed! Wish I had enough spare time to attempt such, but I wear quite a few hats, constantly switching roles throughout the day. I will have to begin dabbling in Alma-land before next spring, so I will have to do some ELevate simulations and might run a vanilla test VM just to get acclimated. Have you explored that route (clean install)?

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: Change List Accounts "Open Panel" link to hostname instead IP address
« on: December 01, 2023, 02:28:35 AM »
Good call. I use Cloudflare for DNS and other features but NOT for SSL, as I have had problems with their implementation. I still use AutoSSL on my CWP-hosted sites, so the SSL certs are indeed on the server.

Nginx / Re: Issues With Nginx
« on: December 01, 2023, 02:26:18 AM »
Glad you got it sorted. You need a properly licensed CWP Pro (activated) in order to run Nginx (as I do).

Installation / Re: ubuntu with arm64
« on: December 01, 2023, 02:24:58 AM »
I run CentOS 7.9 on my CWP servers, but am looking to ELevate to AlmaLinux next year (2024) when CentOS goes EOL. If I were building a fresh server today, it would AlmaLinux 8.8 to ensure a smooth transition to EL9 when CWP supports it and is stable.
