Installation / Re: Problems installing CWP 8 with MariaDB
« Last post by Wonder on October 25, 2025, 11:57:05 AM »What is failing is cwp-http and cwp-suphp, not only MariaDB.
The tow cwp- files are what's causing the installer to crash, which means for some reason that server isn't talking to the cwp server.
Is this server behind a NAT?
Any firewalls that may be blocking?
Nothing, no NAT, no firewall, nothing, it's a clean install of AlmaLinux 8.
The "official" CWP installer works, but your updater is failing. I don't know why... but it's very, very strange.....
I'll try again later. Maybe I didn't let AlmaLinux update enough time after installing it, and it happened when I was doing something... that's the only thing I can think of, but even so... it's very strange to me...

I see a conflict wit the CWP repo, where it's trying to load from.Exactly, that's what I think happens... (I'm referring to updating MariaDB using the CWP installer from the "official" CWP repo).
Quote
You add this to cwp.repo below enabled=1For me, that's not possible. As I mentioned, I do a clean install of AlmaLinux, and the next step is to install CWP using your updated installer. I can't modify any repo because it's not installed; it doesn't install CWP.Code: [Select]exclude=mariadb*
The error you posted, shows the httpd installation failed.
Our updated script only updated MariaDB to install 10.6.
Updated: But I've tried what you say below, just before restarting after installing CWP, and the result is the same error: it doesn't allow it.
For me, the only solution is to disable the CWP repo at the MariaDB update point, and then re-enable it.

Do you mean using the instructions above to update MariaDB (https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/23-upgrade-mariadb-1011-in-cwp-centos-7-centos-8-stream-almalinux-78-rockylinux-78/#comment-25)?QuoteLast metadata expiration check: 0:01:52 ago on Fri 24 Oct 2025 09:58:48 PM CEST.

PHP / Re: When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?
« Last post by overseer on October 24, 2025, 09:35:47 PM »Your point then is: is OK, they are working to continue support CentOS 7 (that is EOL), and CentOS 8 (that is also EOL)... and now working to CentOS 9. At this point, we can expect support to CentOS Stream 9 when he reaches the EOL date in 2027...I think the crux of the issue is that you are likely not a native English speaker and are missing some of the nuances of what we are writing. I chose my words very carefully. CentOS Stream 8 was the initial direction CWP was going in as the CentOS 7 EOL was approaching and so they created the delayed repositories. Then AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux 8 released and proved to be viable (and indeed BETTER than CentOS Stream) and so CWP pivoted to supporting and recommending those true EL8 distributions. Indeed, AlmaLinux 8 is now their recommended current stable base OS. I never said anything about CentOS Stream 9 because to me it is a no-trick pony -- a beta quality OS that has no business being the foundation for a server -- so it is irrelevant. True Enterprise Linux 9 releases (especially AlmaLinux 9) is what CWP is targeting and is currently in beta for. All of that do-si-do was caused by Red Hat and ate up quite a bit of time & developer resources (both for the binary compatible EL releases and CWP) until the landscape settled out to what it is today.

Installation / Re: Problems installing CWP 8 with MariaDB
« Last post by Wonder on October 24, 2025, 08:45:33 PM »As they say around here, a promise is a promise.
I performed a clean install of AlmaLinux 8 on a server and tried the @Starburst installer:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-install-tutorials/updated-cwp-installer-script-for-almalinux-8-with-mariadb-10-6/
It didn't work.
The server had Almalinux 8 installed and updated; nothing else was installed.
I started the CWP installation and was already seeing some errors. At one point, it stopped. I'll paste the last few lines:
So, for now, a clean install, from what I can see or from my experience, should be done through the CWP installer. We followed the instructions to update MariaDB, but right when we installed MariaDB 10.11 (or 10.6, whichever version you prefer), we deactivated the CWP repo, installed MariaDB, and after it was installed, we reactivated the CWP repo.
By the way, thanks @Starburst for your work here...

Yes, it is indeed a genuine EL8 distribution, AlmaLinux8 in question.
I've installed a server, installed AlmaLinux 8 from scratch, and installed CWP from the official CWP repo (I'll do it later from the one mentioned by Startburst, but I wanted to note that we're using the official CWP repo and instructions).
After installing CWP and running a yum update, we have this:
