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.)

Run this to see what is occupying the httpd ports:

Code: [Select]

lsof -i :80
lsof -i :443

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: CWP to CWP Account Migration

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

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?

Mod_Security / Re: 19GB modsec_audit.log

« on: March 15, 2025, 06:59:38 PM »

cyberspace's Logrotate config will catch anything ending in .log or _log, including /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit.log
and /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_debug.log (which is the subject of this thread:

Code: [Select]

0 /usr/local/apache/logs/*bytes
129M /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
452K /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
4.0K /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid
4.0K /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit.log
0 /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_debug.log
0 /usr/local/apache/logs/phpmail.log
0 /usr/local/apache/logs/suphp_log
0 /usr/local/apache/logs/tmpIf you're thinking of logs in /usr/local/apache/domlogs/, that is a separate logrotate config for httpd, /etc/logrotate.d/httpd:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/apache/domlogs/*.log {
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    daily
    rotate 7
    postrotate
        /sbin/service httpd reload > /var/log/httpd-rotate.log 2>&1 || true
    endscript
    compress
}(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.)

MySQL / Re: Galera (mariaDB) configuration recommendations

« on: March 15, 2025, 02:53:20 PM »

Sorry, I'm still very much in the place of following a human written guide rather than asking an AI for advice. For starters, you need to update MariaDB to 10.11 LTS in order to get better performance, as a foundational step before adding software stacked on top of it (your 10.4 version is EOL).

Updates / Re: Server updates don't seem to be happening

« on: March 15, 2025, 02:45:44 PM »

Auto-updates cannot take place with your old MariaDB 10.4 version. Manually update MariaDB to 10.11 (an LTS version) .

CentOS Configuration / Re: CentOS 10 - support

« on: March 14, 2025, 10:15:22 PM »

AlmaLinux 8 or 9 will be the most stable, feature complete experience for you. Technically, CWP for EL9 is still in beta, but is stable enough for production use. CentOS Stream is a beta quality OS, so not fit for server duty. Rocky Linux is missing some libraries, so can make for a "rockier" experience. RHEL is available with "free" with a developer subscription, up to 16 licenses.
