This is a tutorial for PHP 8.5 installation in CWP PHP Switcher I've switched to direct compiler environment variables that pass flags straight to gcc, g++, and ld - eliminating pkg-config dependency that was failing across servers. Old Method (Unstable): pkg-config → generates flags → gcc/g++/ld ↓ Breaks when pkg-config .pc files missing/corrupted/version mismatchNew Method (Stable): CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS → gcc/g++/ld directly ↓ No pkg-config intermediary = consistent builds everywhereInstall dependencies : # For el9 only : dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb # run these for el8 and el9 dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" dnf install glibc-devel elfutils-libelf-devel dnf install git make gcc gcc-c++ binutils glibc-devel autoconf libtool bison re2c automake libxml2-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel bzip2-devel libcurl-devel libpng-devel libavif-devel libwebp-devel libjpeg-devel libXpm-devel freetype-devel gmp-devel libicu-devel openldap-devel oniguruma-devel libargon2-devel libtidy-devel libxslt-devel Build PHP 8.5 switcher : rm -rf /usr/local/php-85 mkdir -p /usr/local/php-85 cd /usr/local/php-85 wget http://php.net/distributions/php-8.5.0.tar.gz tar zxvf php-8.5.0.tar.gz cd php-8.5.0 ./configure --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --enable-cgi --with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php/php.d --with-zlib=/usr --enable-mbstring --with-zip --enable-bcmath --enable-pcntl --enable-ftp --enable-exif --enable-calendar --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --with-tidy --with-curl --with-iconv --with-gmp --enable-gd --with-avif --with-jpeg --with-freetype --enable-gd-jis-conv --with-webp --with-xpm --with-openssl --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd --with-gettext=/usr --with-bz2=/usr --with-mysqli --enable-soap --enable-phar --with-xsl --enable-posix --enable-sockets --with-external-pcre --with-libdir=lib64 --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --enable-intl --with-password-argon2 --enable-litespeed --with-ldap=/usr --with-ldap-sasl=/usr export CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIE -DPIC" export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fPIE -DPIC" export LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,--as-needed" make -j$(nproc) make installAfter that, PHP 8.5 will be installed.

Hi if you send me a test VPS for Alma 9 I'll test and publish the post

will create the tutorial soon

Hi did you activated the disk quota for the cwp?

Are you talking about PHP 8.4?

This should be fixed via the update

some meial functions are not working only

Imunify AV is not fully compatible with CWP yet, You can ask immunity to check the compatibility

Probably you tried many things before which can cause the issues, check the logs or create seperate topic

Try rpm -e --nodeps mysql-common-8.0.41-1.module_el8.10.0+3965+b415b607.x86_64

this is not same command here the alpha case is sensitive

Hi, run the MySQL secure installation and remove the test db mysql_secure_instalaltionYou may need the root password for MySQL to proceed, located in /root/.my.cnf

You need to remove mariadb server rpm dnf module disable mariadb -y rpm -e --nodeps mariadb-server If you get any other conflicting package use the same rpm remove commands and replace the mariadb-server with the conflicting package name. After that use same procedure to update mariadb

hi try to run this api fix /scripts/cwp_api account mail_fix_permissions

this is an old tutorial and discontinued due to a maintenance issue we'll create a new tutorial for it soon

You can fix this by adding salt to your wp-config.php Redis is superior of all APCU, which will increase the performance but the database will not be optimized we always recommend opcache + redis https://blog.alphagnu.com/speedup-wordpress-decrease-server-load-redis-cache-cwp-centos-webpanel/

i need one test server pre built with cwp to test the latest version some one DM me

[mysqld] max_connections = 30000 max_user_connections=10000 innodb_lock_wait_timeout=120 max_heap_table_size = 1G tmp_table_size = 1024M thread_cache_size = 128 innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G innodb_log_file_size = 2G innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT innodb_file_per_table = 1 innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2 table_open_cache = 5000 wait_timeout = 28800 interactive_timeout = 28800 long_query_time = 25 max_allowed_packet = 512M performance_schema = OFF open_files_limit = 220000 key_buffer_size = 64M join_buffer_size = 5M sort_buffer_size = 5M read_buffer_size = 2048k read_rnd_buffer_size = 2048k max_connect_errors = 10 tmp_table_size = 550M max_heap_table_size = 500M innodb_file_per_table=1

you need to install 'libuv/ devel package and try again

alamlinux 8 is still stable with CWP probably this year CWP will be stabilized with el9

Yes i understand, the best option is to use in your cms like wp, magento etc this will give you more benefits

you can reinstall cwp services : yum remove cwpsrv cwpphp -y && yum install cwpsrv cwpphp -ythen update cwp sh /scripts/update_cwp

hi you can directly use in your script instead in webserver
