Error in control panel

[santo]

Hello,

We are getting below error message while accessing CWP control panel link:
========================
This server needs to be upgraded by using this instruction!

For assistance, you can contact our support at:

========================

Any idea why we are receiving this?
Can't we skip this upgrade?

It's the way cwp staff will force you to upgrade.

The problem is that the upgrade is not possible without having serious issues(search the forum and you will see).

To avoid the message and restore the login page, login to your ssh shell and do as it follows:

Code Select Expand

cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/

Code Select Expand

rm -rf admin

Code Select Expand

mv admin_disabled admin


now the login page is back, but soon it will be replaced again with the error message and you will be forced to follow the procedure each time you want the login page back, so to keep it alive, you have to issue the following command:

Code Select Expand

cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/

Code Select Expand

chattr +a admin

now the admin folder cannot be modified or deleted even by root user and the login page will stay on line.

to unprotect the admin folder, you'll have to issue the following command:

Code Select Expand

chattr -a admin

This is a temporary solution, also if you want to keep using cwp in the future, the only option is to contact support and pay cwp staff for the upgrade.

Also check on line exploit databases like

to be sure that your version is safe.
