• How to update from 123.09beta01 to 130.00beta01

And you can post your Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 install time stats

 

Nope that's an assigned variable when Centmin Mod detects a supported EL8 operating system and that variable is used throughout to differentiate being a supported EL7 vs EL8 system. As is CENTOS_NINE='9', for EL9 systems

 

@rdan are you setting any persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc variables? if so what are they?

Looks like maybe you enabled nginx systemd service file on CentOS 7 as it's disabled by default on CentOS 7 and only enabled by default on EL8 due to different systemd versions in EL7 vs EL8 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/464098/26581

 

Ah in latest 130.00beta01 I switch to SWITCH_NGINX_SYSTEMD='y' by default so CentOS 7 also got Nginx systemd service file but SWITCH_NGINX_SYSTEMD='y' has a bug which I need to fix for above mentioned systemd version differences in EL7 vs EL8+

 

related to https://community.centminmod.com/th...00beta01-release-discussion.22676/#post-93259 should be fixed in latest 130.00beta01

existing users would need to run cmupdate and then centmin.sh menu once and exit. Edit bug in that routine, needs another update

 

How you testing? In 130.00beta01 there is now 2 auto restart routines

1. regular auto restart of nginx and php-fpm on server reboot which is enabled via either command

Code (Text):

chkconfig nginx on

or

Code (Text):

systemctl enable nginx

That is the one you seem to be experiencing as status shows disable

I updated 130.00beta01 initial install routine to make sure nginx service is enabled for such

2. the other is new in 130.00beta01 for /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d/failure-restart.conf which will only auto restart nginx if service crashes but will not restart nginx if you manually did a service stop as it's a action you intended to do

 

Good to know. FYI, MariaDB 10.4+ are still one way upgrades with differences outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/mariadb-10-1-upgrades-to-mariadb-10-2-10-3-and-10-4.17793/ and https://community.centminmod.com/threads/interesting-look-at-whats-new-in-mariadb-10-4.17676/ so be aware of that.

Also I haven't tested MariaDB 10.5 & 10.6 yet - so auto optimizations specific for them are not in place etc nor has any compatibility with web app's using MySQL etc.

 

Ok should be fixed now anyway

Just another idea I have been thinking about are additional ways to be able to create a Centmin Mod Nginx vhost site besides centmin.sh menu option 2, 22 (for Wordpress) and nv command line. I was thinking of supporting a Centmin Mod Nginx Site JSON config file for creating new Nginx sites. So the idea is allow folks to create a custom JSON config file and allow Centmin Mod to auto create the Nginx vhost site based on the JSON config parameters - including setting up Cloudflare settings and MySQL database/dbuser/dbpass and robots and cronjob files relevant to the Nginx vhost site.

A rough example below is below of the JSON config file. What additional parameters would you like to see be supported via JSON config file based Nginx vhost creation?

Code (Text):

    "data": [
        {
            "domain": "domain.com",
            "domain-preferred": "www.domain.com",
            "domain-parked1": "sub1.domain.com",
            "domain-parked2": "sub2.domain.com",

            "index": "/home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/index.html",
            "robotsfile": "/path/to/robots.txt",
            "cronjobfile": "/path/to/cronjobfile.txt"
        }
    ]
}

 

Added a new feature that can come in handy for folks trying to custom their Centmin Mod installations. Add a new function that can optionally be triggered after initial Centmin Mod install's Nginx/PHP install or after Nginx/PHP upgrade/recompiles via centmin.sh menu option 5. The purpose is so end users can script or add addition configuration/installation parameters to their Nginx/PHP installations i.e. install additional PHP extensions which Centmin Mod doesn't install or provide routines for out of the box or modify Nginx configuration parameters

Details and discussion came be made at https://community.centminmod.com/th...custom-runtime-scripts-in-130-00beta01.22912/

 

No new update - focusing on getting Nginx 1.23.x compatibility working with some of the Nginx modules etc.
