CWP 1.16 BREAKS PHP ON ALMALINUX 9 SERVERS!

[Starburst-David]

If you are running CWP on AlmaLinux 9.x, this morning (2029-09-29) you would have noticed an update to CWP 1.16

I'm not sure what happened, and it's only AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 8 servers seem to be OK for now.

But if you reboot the server, you will get the Internal Server Error message.

Trying to fix the user permissions from the control panel don't work.

You have to rebuild PHP.

AND If you use IonCube 8.3, and get the message:

Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader - it was built with configuration API420220829,NTS, whereas running engine is API420230831,NTS
PHP 8.3.33 (cli) (built: Sep 29 2026 12:49:09) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.3.33, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

You have to fix your ioncube.ini:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/local/php/php.d/ioncube.ini

Change 8.2 to 8.3, save, exit and reboot

After all that PHP 8.3.x and the server should be OK.
