Moved from General Forum to VPS General Discussion as requested.
@fChk This is right on the mark for me. This weekend I was knee deep in CyberPanel trying to make it work. I had a user account from @fikoh that is fantastic, but probably due to @fitkoh's technical abilities to sort out the shortcomings of cyberpanel. When I tried to load the server this weekend I found it much too bulky. I found it intimidating too, as when I logged into root, first message that shows is a welcome from CyberPanel. I find CyberPanel very heavy and it's taking up too much RAM. The 1GB suggested by CyberPanel won't work for people like me.
Anyway, I then gave up on CyberPanel and then went to manual installaton. MariaDB was the toughest learning curve. There is plenty of literature on Google for installing the server, but very few on how to create databases and work with them. I've got it sorted out now by taking bits and pieces from a few tutorials. Exit is quit. Ctrl C is abort. Etc etc.
You're right @fChk. One doesn't need a panel. I started to learn at a very high curve when you explained how to disable SELinux and also open ports. That was good background for creating a Web Server on CentOS 7. There were plenty of tutorials to help with creating the Web Server, MariaDB Server (not many tutorials for creating the databases though), creating php 7.3 and Ioncube, and phpmyadmin. With your help with SELinux, I had the hang of how to open Ports. My problems came with WordPress. Which thinking about it afterwards WordPress is getting to be a real pain in the neck. Maybe I should go back to html only. But still. If the panels can make WordPress permissions work, then I should be able to do it too.
Anyway, solving my WP permissions challenge is meant for a support discussion. I've just proved to myself that it isn't necessary to use a panel.
