Information / Re: Future of CWP?
« on: July 24, 2023, 02:00:08 PM »
Thanks, that's a nice comprehensive list! I haven't surveyed the landscape in at least 5 years. Back when I migrated out of cPanel land, CWP was the obvious choice because it provided the clearest, most direct transition path from expen$$$ive cPanel servers over to my own dedicated servers with CWP Pro.
If starting up a new server fresh, I may give that list a more comprehensive look and test drive some of the other alternative panels. Certainly a dedicated server could do with one of the other panels vs. one that supports reselling. But a lot of it comes down to the knowledge base of the admin and how much down-n-dirty behind the panel work is required to configure & keep it running smoothly.

Ajenti has always been on my list of a panel to try, and it has experimental support for FreeBSD:

And of course, Webmin runs on FreeBSD:
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-webmin-on-freebsd/
And maybe you would count TrueNAS (née FreeNAS) as a web GUI for admin duties for FreeBSD, but of course, it's more LAN storage-focused, but I could imagine extending it to include other server duties.

Maybe for the basic tier, but Starburst was comparing aaPanel's Professional tier to CWP Pro.
https://www.aapanel.com/new/pricing.html
Prepaying for a full year nets savings to <$10/mo. But otherwise, aaPanel is close to cPanel for my use case tier, so why consider it?

My straw vote would be Debian proper for a major failover backup plan. Of course, targeting Debian should get you broad compatibility with other Debian-derived OSes such as Ubuntu.
But the whole RHEL kerfuffle has caused me to re-survey the landscape and I will now re-evaluate SUSE, which I last used back in the early 2000s. It would seemingly be the best direct alternative to the EL branch of distros, since it too qualifies as a conservative enterprise distro.

You will have to get a backup mail exchange -- one that does store & forward.

I don't have any particular recommendations, since it's been more than 12 years since I've needed one. Last one I used was:

E-Mail / Re: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied
« on: July 23, 2023, 01:45:01 PM »
How are you trying to open the log file? If you just tail it in a root shell, you should have no trouble accessing it, so permissions don't really matter in that respect. Even the File Manager will be reading the files with root permissions from the CWP Admin panel, so you can view the log file or download it from the File Manager.
You didn't need need to do anything with the dovecot user group -- it is already in dovecot, mail, wheel. Correct permissions:
(and that shows me I need to go add this log to logrotate, since it's 2.5GB!)

I'm totally fine with Alma & Rocky not being 1:1 bug compatible with RHEL. If they are slight laggards and just use EL as a reference platform, it seems totally workable and a better option than CentOS Stream. They are making a go of it and are working hard to bring updates in from disparate sources (UBI container images, cloud instances running RHEL, etc.)

Updates / Re: Yum manager packages update aren't updates although message "Package updated"
« on: July 22, 2023, 06:54:54 PM »
You may need to clean your yum cache:
Code: [Select]
sudo yum clean packages
sudo yum clean headers
sudo yum clean metadata
sudo yum clean allAlso be aware that you can't update major or minor versions of MariaDB through the CWP Yum Manager. You will need to manually update via a shell.

The ionCube Loader is a PHP extension that decodes and executes encoded files at run-time. It is not available when running PHP 8.0, but it is supported on PHP 8.1.

This is done at the CentOS system level, not within CWP.

Information / Re: CPU Usage Stats on Admin Panel
« on: July 15, 2023, 06:59:12 PM »
I've run a Magento store under CWP in a similar setup -- basically 1:1 using the whole VM with similar specs (10GB RAM, 2 CPU cores). You will need to do specific DB tuning for Magento, along with specific cron jobs they recommend. Don't forget to secure the installation as well. It looks by your process list MariaDB is consuming the bulk of the CPU, which shouldn't really be the case when your tuning is finished. Generally, Magento installs are heavy on the PHP processing side of things, so you may want to put Nginx in front of the site, or even Varnish. That way a cache handles most of the page displays until someone creates an e-commerce account at the storefront and then needs live interaction with the web app.

CentOS 7 Problems / Re: I cannot unsuspend users.
« on: July 15, 2023, 05:19:01 PM »
Can you increase the actual disk usage quota (not inode usage)? Then try unsuspending the user account. You can also make these types of changes in the CWP database via phpMyAdmin.

Information / Re: Website https://control-webpanel.com running very slow?
« on: July 15, 2023, 05:15:01 PM »
All of their infrastructure feels very slow -- including this Forum subdomain. I used to think it was my paltry DSL connection, but not that I am on fiber and have a general feel for how my service loads content -- CWP's sites are objectively much slower to load than other web content, including "pig" sites like Facebook.
