    Exactly, let's hope that the Australian sloth does his job and releases an AlmaLinux 9 (EL9) version of Centminmod.:p:D:rolleyes: 1280px-Bicho-preguiça_3.jpg

    Looks like with Redhat Enterprise Linux 9, CentOS Stream 9, Alma Linux 9 or Rocky Linux 9, the default OpenSSL version 3.0 is installed instead of OpenSSL 1.0.2 for CentOS 7 and OpenSSL 1.1.1 for CentOS 8. This means to use EL9 distros out of the box, PHP web apps would need to use PHP 8.1 and higher as PHP 8.1 or higher are only versions that support EL9's OpenSSL 3.0.x PHP :: Doc Bug #81540 :: OpenSSL 3.0.0 is not supported prior to 8.1.0.

    With how slow newer PHP versions get adopted, you'd have to hope by EL9 mainstream release/usage, that all PHP applications are 100% working with PHP 8.1+ :)

    Luckily, for Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 and newer versions, I've fixed PHP-FPM's custom OpenSSL version support so we can build PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 with OpenSSL 1.1.1 instead of EL9 system's OpenSSL 3.0 https://community.centminmod.com/th...ssl-routine-in-130-00beta01.22812/#post-93085 :D

    Luckily there's still some time before AMD EPYC Milan-X cpus arrive as there seems to be RHEL 9 upstream regression issues with those cpus and RHEL/EL9 Linux Kernel A Fix Is On The Way For A Previously-Reported Linux 5.18 Performance Regression

    There is also absolutely no reason to use an OS in production which is only a few days out. EL8 is production ready. EL7 is production ready and mission critical ready.
    With Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS) you'll go a long way :)

    First time Centmin Mod Nginx build on Alma Linux 9.0 on local VirtualBox setup using system GCC 11 compiler but with own OpenSSL 1.1.1q crypt library instead of el9 system's default OpenSSL 3.0 series :D

    EL9 OSes uses OpenSSL 3.0 which isn't compatible with PHP versions <=8.0. Only PHP 8.1 work, so for PHP 7.4 to 8.0, Centmin Mod will use OpenSSL 1.1.1

    edit: spoke too soon, the workaround patches are fixes for compilation but leave a lot of operation/functionality fixes to be done, so revert back to my original workaround and use custom OpenSSL 1.1.1 for PHP 7.4 and 8.0 on EL9 systems that use OpenSSL 3.0 https://community.centminmod.com/th...-fixes-for-el9-support-in-130-00beta01.23181/

    Can not wait to get away from Centos 7, lol

    Please let me know if you need help testing it. I will be happy to set up local testing and run it through a live use case for WordPress.

    Definitely have you in mind ;) I will be slowly opening up AlmaLinux 8 testing to a select few Centmin Mod users sometime next month who have more system admin experience than average folks (even better if they have other/existing EL8+ experience already) :)

    AlmaLinux 9 development/testing still has a long way to go compared to AlmaLinux 8 progress. EL9 delay in starting was waiting on the official MariaDB YUM repo for EL9 which they now have from RHEL 9.

    If AlmaLinux 8 is at 75% ready, AlmaLinux 9 is probably around 35%. Though the extensive work on EL7 to EL8 already has made EL9 work way easier. The last 12 commits in 130.00beta01 for EL9 have gotten it from 0% to 35% ready :D

    Perfect.
    Means just 8 commits to EL8 and another 23 to release EL9 compatibility.
    So, until next week for EL8 and October for EL9? :-D

    We can also help with testing, if you like. We are in the process to update all our EL7 servers to EL8 right now.
