CentOS 9 Problems / Re: EL9 recent update casusing boot issue

« Last post by Starburst on April 02, 2026, 06:18:17 PM »

Its on VM. Startup RAM was 1GB. But allocated RAM is 20GB+

Interesting...

I've installed CWP with AL9 on a single AMD vCPU with 1GB before.

Information / Re: Installing CWP on AlmaLinux 9

« Last post by overseer on April 02, 2026, 02:13:49 PM »

I've posted the basic setup steps here in the forums a couple times.
Here it is again, or you also have options of people that can get the basic installed for you.

You can't have any services installed before installing CWP.

So if Apache is working 'out of the box', you are installing AlmaLinux 9.4 LAMP.
That won't work.

Reimage with the bare AlmaLinux 9.5

Setup your networking, hostname, timzone.

Then:

Code: [Select]

dnf install dnf-plugins-core

Code: [Select]

dnf install elrepo-release epel-release -y

Code: [Select]

dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

Code: [Select]

dnf --refresh update

Code: [Select]

dnf install nano wget ipset ebtables iptables ipset-service uuid uuid-devel libuuid-devel m4 pcre pcre-devel zlib-devel perl-DBD-MySQL perl-IPC-Cmd perl-Pod-Html perl-Sys-Hostname perl-libwww-perl.noarch perl-LWP-Protocol-https.noarch perl-GDGraph libtool s-nail htop sysstat python3-perf ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel nmap make quota cockpit* -y

Code: [Select]

dnf --refresh update

Code: [Select]

dnf install clamav* clamd

Code: [Select]

dnf clean all

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/local/src

Code: [Select]

wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el9-latest

Code: [Select]

sh cwp-el9-latest

Code: [Select]

dnf install spamassassin amavis
Reboot

Configure & Start CSF

UPDATE DEPENDENCIES

Code: [Select]

dnf install php-cli libsodium libsodium-devel php-sodium php-pecl-zip  php-pecl-mailparse php-mbstring php-pear php-devel php-pecl-imagick

Code: [Select]

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
To updated MariaDB follow:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/

The one string to re-install MariaDB has been updated, or you'll get an error.
Run this instead:

Code: [Select]

dnf install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client net-snmp perl-DBD-MySQL --allowerasing
There are other steps, but everyone customizes their servers differently.

Information / Re: Modernizing CWP: Drop EOL, Support AL9, AL10 & Rocky

« Last post by ghoste on April 02, 2026, 12:47:59 PM »

We have the cwp panel 9 version - which on the official website is no longer BETA, it appears as the official recommended version.

If we install from 0 almalinux 9 - and then cwp panel the latest version, according to the procedure on the site, still a lot of bugs, for example:

Setup default Web Servers nginx+varnish+apache, but you will see that varnish does not work, if you install it manually at Varnish Conf this notification appears: Varnish NOT installed or conf file /etc/varnish/varnish.params does not exist
On CentOS 8 you can edit file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/varnish.service,

then at the clamd email services - it runs permanently, if I send myself an email from g-mail it enters the inbox at cwp test@mycompany.com after 10 minutes, (all zones configured correctly, dns, all impeccable, all perfect on mxtoolbox),

the spamassasin service has an error: razor2: razor2 check failed: No such file or directory razor2: Can't read: /var/lib/razor/ at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Razor2.pm line 331. ,

another situation, CSF LFD firewall, if you do not disable SELINUX MANUALLY, it does not work....

and we do not know in the end if the vulnerabilities have been resolved.
I saw that version 0.9.8.1224 appeared - but again we do not know any changelog.

Attention I am talking here about cwp PRO, and many servers, with which we are in standbay to see where we are heading, migrate to another solution or come with clear news about what is happening

Quick guide EL9/ Almalinux 9

hostnamectl set-hostname srv.example.com
dnf install epel-release -y
dnf -y install wget
dnf -y update
reboot
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el9-latest
sh cwp-el9-latest

if there is an advanced setup, which will work all the services as they should, why don't you post it? (I see that you have: Order Installation from Experts for $5.49) - for what?

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: CWPPRO License Message

« Last post by cHAp on March 31, 2026, 03:08:46 PM »

1. Check in the CWP customer area to see if the IP address is correctly assigned to the license.

2. Run the command: /scripts/update_cwp (Yes, this is the update command, but do it just to be safe, since version 1224 was released today.)

3. If that doesn't work, try /scripts/reload_cwp. This will restart CWP!

Then check if that worked. I had this problem with an earlier version.

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / CWPPRO License Message

« Last post by rustylh on March 31, 2026, 02:14:23 PM »

My server is running CWPpro version: 0.9.8.1224. Everything works on the admin panel. However, when I go into the user panel PHP Selector it shows "You need a CWPPRO license to use this module. Contact your server administrator"

Any ideas?

Information / Root Cause of Fourm Crash

« Last post by Andrew C on March 31, 2026, 07:14:45 AM »

Hello,

I think everyone knows the forum keeps going down or becomes unresponsive.

I think I have determine the root cause.

On the right hand side of the forum under new posts you can see two links for a given post. The thread name and the user who submitted the thread. If you click on the username link by mistake the page does not work. Then forum website becomes unavailable for a time period and then recovers shortly after. If you click on the thread link the forum continues to work until you click a username link, Clicking the username link causes the problem, It seems to be 100% repeatable.

I hope the forum administrator can implement a solution to the problem soon.

Thanks.

MySQL / Re: Allow Remote Access to MariaDB Database

« Last post by Andrew C on March 31, 2026, 06:57:43 AM »

Hello cyberspace,

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide a step by step guide. I appreciate your assistance.

However if you read my second post on this subject which I published a few days ago I had already implemented remote access to Mariadb on the CWP platform and it works rather well for my purposes. In fact remote access to mariadb in works well in general.

Yes I am expert with mariadb and firewalls running on a stand alone servers and the security features they provide etc. However as mariadb is a core feature of CWP I asked the question "how to" before making an attempt as a good engineer does. There might have been some extra complexity that I was unaware off. Anyway I resolved it my self a while ago.

Thank you for your help anyway its appreciated.

MySQL / Re: Allow Remote Access to MariaDB Database

« Last post by cyberspace on March 30, 2026, 10:22:42 PM »

If you want to provide remote access to MariaDB/MySQL from some specific IP then:

1. Configure MySQL/MariaDB listening the public IP address of your server or local IP address if the connection come from the local users. Look at "bind-address" it mysql/mariadb config

2. Disable or comment "skip-networking" in mysql/mariadb config

3. Open the port 3306 in CSF/firewall for specific IP address only
tcp|in|d=3306|s=put_remote_ip_here

4. Restart CSF/Firewall

5. Make the user allowed to connect to the database from the remote IP.

I recommend you to look at the docs https://mariadb.com/docs/server/mariadb-quickstart-guides/mariadb-remote-connection-guide

Hello Starburst,

Yes it is common place to remote access servers and web hosts by professionals who know what they are doing. And no matter how many times you try to dismiss that fact I will correct you.

You need to turnoff the gas light and stop gas lighting people !

Thanks.
