SOLVED [SOLVED] WHM/cPanel unresponsive after reboot, SSH access

[mencargo]

It's a new server, Almalinux 8, installed cPanel, created a couple of accounts, disabled DNS, tried to set AutoSSL that worked for one domain and didn't work for another.
Tried AutoSSL several times, removed self-signed SSL, decided to reboot.

No access to WHM, cPanel nor websites.

I'm able to access with SSH.
# systemctl status cpanel
Active: active (running)

Whitelisted my IP.

I don't see any errors in journalctl -xe, besides PAM-hulk: Brute force detection active: 550 LOGIN DENIED -- TOO MANY FAILURES
Tried running named service, nothing changes...
Tried updating to 104 changing /etc/cpupdate.conf and running /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp
Still same issue [Up to date (11.103.9999.102)]

Do you have CSF installed? Almalimux comes with firewallcmd. Can you check the output of this?

firewallcmd --state

 

[mencargo]

Thanks! I tried iptables and csf...

systemctl stop firewalld

Should I disable it and install CSF? Is there something wrong with the install?
Seems weird that a fresh install could have something like this, should I move to another OS?

Yes, install the CSF and check.

Did this do the trick?

Did this do the trick?

Yes, checked with firewall-cmd --state and it was indeed active (very few rules, including ssh), so I stopped the service.

Disable it so it won't autostart in the next reboot.

# systemctl disable firewalld

Disable it so it won't autostart in the next reboot.

# systemctl disable firewalld

Yep, done that also, thks
