Nginx / Re: Apache does not start after "dnf install httpd httpd-devel -y"
« Last post by overseer on January 26, 2026, 06:28:43 PM »You may need to reinstall CWP or hire a sysadmin to save your server.
Note: httpd httpd-devel packages are incompatible with CWP and will overwrite CWP's installed version of Apache, so you should avoid them in the future.
You could see if updating your apache version gets you more on the right track:

Nginx / Apache does not start after "dnf install httpd httpd-devel -y"
« Last post by jlout on January 26, 2026, 02:04:28 PM »Hello,
Because i am in a panic, please excuse my short explanation and haste behavior.
I run this command "dnf install httpd httpd-devel -y" so i can install Maxmind in order to use redirects based on the country of the visitor to my website.
After that command the apache could not start because it was trying to use port 80 which was already being used by nginx.
Long story short, after trying many changes in /usr/local/apache i realized that the httpd.conf that was used was inside /etc/httpd probably from the new installation.
I tried recompiling Apache, nothing.
I tried dnf history undo/rollback, nothing.
I tried reinstall cwp-httpd, nothing.
After changed port to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, Apache started but was looking inside its own folders which were blank obvioysly!
Do you have any ideas how can i make it work as it used to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

DNS / Re: Reverse DNS pointer record
« Last post by Dangerousdave26 on January 25, 2026, 06:58:43 PM »Thank you both for your help. I opened a ticket to get the rDNS PTR changed and they have already done it. Now i just need to wait for the change to make its way through the dns system.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: Almalinux fresh install - php-fpm using service instead of systemctl
« Last post by cgauthey on January 23, 2026, 07:52:21 PM »Regarding the migration from CWP to CWP with the module, a fix has been implemented, at least as far as I'm concerned.

DNS / Re: Reverse DNS pointer record
« Last post by 6Sense on January 23, 2026, 01:51:40 AM »Hostname should have a DNS A record eg: A - bob - your IP
You should also update your RDNS on the server host to bob.thisdomain.org if its currently pointed to mail.thisdomain.org

DNS / Re: Reverse DNS pointer record

DNS / Reverse DNS pointer record
« Last post by Dangerousdave26 on January 22, 2026, 06:49:26 PM »First I know the rDNS/PTR record has to be set by the server host. My question is in my environment what name should that DNS setting have.
Server hostname = Bob.ThisDomain.org
Accounts on this Server
ThisDomain.org
ThatDomain.org
MyBestFriendSite.net
TheGuyIreallyDontlike.net
The rDNS/PTR right now is set to mail.thatdomain.org
I seem to be having issues sending email from some thatdomain.org to yahoo/AT&T. I have followed their guides to be more compliant but I question my rDNS setting.

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: Almalinux fresh install - php-fpm using service instead of systemctl
« Last post by overseer on January 22, 2026, 06:26:18 PM »This qualifies as a bug with EL9 support. CWP's EL9 support is only in beta, not complete so expect some things to be broken (also CWP Migration is the other notable casualty). AlmaLinux 8 currently provides the best support and full compatibility. The php-fpm management page is fully working on my EL8 (AlmaLinux

More concerning is the SSL content warning when you try to post a message -- you have to click through the SSL warning in order to post.
