[1.2.0] - 2026-07-01
adminbolt 1.2.0 brings two major platforms into the panel as first-class integrations: CloudLinux and LiteSpeed. The headline is full CloudLinux support (guided installer, runtime provisioning, LVE Manager, Alt-PHP, and per-account resource limits driven from hosting plans) and full LiteSpeed support (switch between Apache and LiteSpeed, LSPHP versions, LSCache, settings profiles, and logs), all sitting on top of a completely rebuilt PHP version manager that lets regular (REMI), CloudLinux Alt-PHP, and LiteSpeed LSPHP engines run side by side. The release also adds durable execution logs, a reseller account detail view, and a batch of improvements and fixes.
New Features
- CloudLinux installation: A guided CloudLinux installation page walks you through activation. Enter your license key, run a pre-check that validates the key and system, then convert the OS with a live deploy log. The page tracks the full lifecycle (converting, installed, reboot, converted) and surfaces a Reboot now action when the server is waiting to switch kernels.
- CloudLinux runtimes: After conversion you choose which CloudLinux runtimes to enable (PHP and mod_lsapi), each with its own version picker and a live progress log.
- LVE Manager: Integrated LVE Manager with single sign-on, installed on demand directly from the panel, for managing per-account resource limits.
- CloudLinux Alt-PHP: Install, remove, and configure CloudLinux Alt-PHP versions (5.2 through 8.x) from the PHP manager, including per-version PHP extension selection and default configuration profiles.
- Resource limits from hosting plans: Hosting plans gain a Resource Limits tab (CPU speed, memory, IO, IOPS, processes, entry processes). Limits are pushed to the matching CloudLinux package automatically on plan create, update, and account provisioning, with a backfill for existing plans so servers upgraded from an earlier version are brought in line too.
- LiteSpeed web server switching: Switch between Apache and LiteSpeed from the panel. The license is validated before switching, the incoming server's saved settings profile is applied first, and both servers are safely stopped and started so no request is dropped during the change.
- LiteSpeed PHP (LSPHP): LSPHP versions 7.4 through 8.5 can be installed, configured, and assigned to domains, with matching versions provisioned automatically when LiteSpeed is installed.
- LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache): Per-domain LiteSpeed Cache management from a dedicated page: enable or disable caching, tune default and max TTL, set max object size and excluded paths, and clear a domain's cache.
- LiteSpeed settings, logs, and admin: A LiteSpeed settings page with server, security, performance, and module tabs backed by default profiles, plus built-in access and error log viewers, a service restart action, and one-click access to the LiteSpeed WebAdmin console.
- PHP engine migration: A dedicated migration page moves your domains and plans between matching REMI and LSPHP versions when you switch web servers, with a dry-run preview beforehand. Switching back to Apache is blocked (with a direct link to the migration page) while any domain still uses LSPHP, so sites cannot break.
- Rebuilt PHP version manager: A single page to install, remove, configure, and set default profiles for every PHP engine (REMI, Alt-PHP, LSPHP), with vendor logos and clear per-version labels. Domains and plans now reference a specific PHP version, so regular, CloudLinux, and LiteSpeed builds of the same version no longer collide. A PHP version that is still assigned to any plan or domain can no longer be uninstalled by accident.
- Automatic PHP sync: Installing or removing a PHP package over SSH now updates the panel automatically and connects a matching default profile, with no manual refresh needed.
- Execution logs: Background operations are saved to a durable execution log with a title, status, timing, and the operator and IP that started them, plus a richer, level-colored log viewer.
- Reseller account view: Resellers can now open the full account detail view for their own accounts.
Improvements
- Hardened shared-hosting defaults: The default disabled-functions list for PHP profiles has been tightened for safer shared-hosting environments.
- Performance: CloudLinux and LVE Manager interactions are noticeably faster in this release.
- Stability: The CloudLinux installer detects and recovers from a stalled conversion, and update checks are skipped cleanly on servers where the update repository is not configured.
- Convenience: Added copy actions on hosting plans and feature lists, and a new Resolver Configuration page.
Bug Fixes
- Apache modules: Apache is now fully restarted after enabling modules (such as mod_lsapi) that require it.
- PHP-FPM toggle: Corrected PHP-FPM toggle visibility.
- WordPress installer: Fixed the WordPress one-click installer.
- Notifications: Corrected system notification email fallbacks so alerts are delivered reliably.
