Something changed in AlmaLinux 9.7. You will get an error trying to install install perl-DBD-MySQL, because it tried to load the dependency of mysql-common, which will give an error that it conflicts with mariadb-common Fix seems to be installing perl-DBD-MariaDB instead of perl-DBD-MySQL, so you can update MariaDB on a CURRENT AL9 server that upgraded to 9.7 or a NEW AL 9.7 install. BUT... Then CWP will give errors with the Anacron job 'cron.daily Daily MySQL Backup starting section: ############################################### Daily MySQL Backup starting ############################################### PHP Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/cron_backup.php on line 0 Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/cron_backup.php on line 0 Skipping database: information_schema.

@TheHolbi I'll give it a try. Thanks. @Sandeep B. Any update on a tutorial for 8.4 until it is launched in CWPpro? With ionCube, IMAP, LDAP and mailparse would be nice. 😉

Just as a note that is for the Forked version by Aetherinox who registered the .dev domain name. Which is fine if you want to stick wit them going forward. Just an FYI

CWP is now 4 versions behind with 8.3 Last version in CWP is 8.3.21, php.net just released 8.3.25 today which fixes additional bugs & CVE's. CWP has release several version, but hasn't updated the PHP versions 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3. Even though they contain critical bug & CVE's fixes. @Sandeep B. Why is CWP failing so behind??

It would make life allot easier if PHP was updated in CWP. :/

Either PHP 8.3 or 8.4 Another 8.3 (8.3.24) release just came out on 2025-07-31, along with 8.4.11 So now CWP is 3 version behind on 8.3, 2 versions behind on 8.2 and 8.1, and it doesn't even have 8.4.x If you could post the build string here, or update the guide for 8.3 to include ionCube, LDAP, and mailparse that would be great, and I could go modify all the servers. Is it just as simple as adding --enable-ldap --enable-mailparse ? Thanks

Just saw your post, sorry, guess I need to come on here more also. Am usually hanging out in the CWP Forums. That seems to still be a bug in CWP with it installs ModSecurity. But it is simple to fix. nano /usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.confAt the end of line 2 – Add – liblua-5.4.so Save & Exit systemctl restart httpd

@Sandeep B. Since CWP is now 2 versions behind the current versions, was wondering if you could post how to manually update PHP and PHP-FPM? Along with the options for ionCube, LDAP, and mailparse. Thanks

I would recommend installing CWP using AlmaLinux 9.6 (Current version of this post)

Works on AlmaLinux 9 & 10.

As mentioned by others, AlmaLinux 8.x is recommended, but that OS is in it' extended security phase. Which means 8.10 is the last version. All new servers we put online are AlmaLinux 9.x, which a couple days ago had some large updates. EL9 has some bugs like you can't go below PHP 7.4.x, so if you need some old PHP version, then EL8 would be the only choice. It also has some quirks like CWP->CWP Migration doesn't work. Otherwise, it is pretty stable already.

And all of the hacker's they have and allow on their network...

Just a FYI, JetBack seems to work with CWP unofficially. When you access the control panel for it, it shows all the CWP user accounts. Only draw back I see, if they would have to use a different control panel, UN & PW to access it.

Check your main config file for the OWASP rules. Sounds like a path wasn't set correctly.
