CentOS 7 officially reached EOL status this past Sunday (June 30th): [What to know about CentOS Linux EOL](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/centos-linux-eol#:~:text=CentOS%20Linux%207%20reached%20end%20of%20life%20(EOL)%20on%20June,can%20help%20ease%20your%20migration). When an OS goes EOL, it shuts down its repos and mirrors. Servers will start to report errors like the following: ```auto Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=genclo error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org; Unknown error" epel/x86_64/metalink | 33 kB 00:00:00 Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=extras&infra=genclo error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org; Unknown error" Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=updates&infra=genclo error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org; Unknown error" * base: download.cf.centos.org * epel: mirror.us.leaseweb.net * extras: download.cf.centos.org * remi-php81: mirror.team-cymru.com * remi-safe: mirror.team-cymru.com * updates: download.cf.centos.org base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 https://mirrors.wcupa.edu/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized." Trying other mirror. It was impossible to connect to the CentOS servers. This could mean a connectivity issue in your environment, such as the requirement to configure a proxy, or a transparent proxy that tampers with TLS security, or an incorrect system clock. You can try to solve this issue by using the instructions on https://wiki.centos.org/yum-errors If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please use https://bugs.centos.org/. ``` This means that your server will no longer receive any updates from non-InterWorx packages, including security updates. Regarding InterWorx, we released a hotfix yesterday that will allow InterWorx updates to continue for the time being on CentOS 7 servers. To check if you have the hotfix: 1. Log in to the server at the CLI as root, either via SSH or from the terminal 2. Check the InterWorx version: `rpm -q interworx` 1. Check the interworx-hotfix version: `rpm -q interworx-hotfix` The hotfixes for each currently supported InterWorx version are as follows: ```auto interworx-hotfix-7.13.44.2802-1.noarch.rpm interworx-hotfix-7.13.43.2799-2.noarch.rpm interworx-hotfix-7.13.42.2779-2.noarch.rpm interworx-hotfix-7.13.41.2760-3.noarch.rpm ``` If your server does not have the corresponding hotfix, please run: ```auto yum clean all yum --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo interworx-hotfix install interworx-hotfix ``` Again, though, that only will address InterWorx updates. You may continue to receive errors related to OS-level packages, including yum failure emails. It is strongly recommended to migrate to a server with a supported OS. **It is not possible to do an in-place upgrade from EL7 to EL8. InterWorx must be installed on a new, fresh, minimal EL8 install.** InterWorx 7 is currently supported on RHEL 8, Alma Linux 8, and Rocky Linux 8: [What are the system requirements of InterWorx Control Panel? — InterWorx documentation](https://appendix.interworx.com/current/getting_started/setup_information/requirements-interworx-control-panel.html) EL9 support is currently in public beta, however, it is not recommended, yet, for production servers: [https://forums.interworx.com/t/interworx-8-public-beta-and-el9-support/](https://forums.interworx.com/t/interworx-8-public-beta-and-el9-support/). Also, please note, InterWorx 6 severs 100% will need to migrate to a new server with a supported OS and IW version. It is now no longer possible, at all, to update to IW7. Our support for IW6 went EOL last Sept. If you would like a demo key to facilitate the migration, just submit a ticket to [support.interworx.com](http://support.interworx.com) and let us know. 🙂 Information on how to migrate SiteWorx accounts can be found here: [How to: Import Hosting Accounts to InterWorx — InterWorx documentation](https://appendix.interworx.com/current/nodeworx/account_management/siteworx/imports/import-interworx-hosting-accounts.html) If you have any questions or run into any issues, just submit a ticket to [https://support.interworx.com](https://support.interworx.com) and we will be happy to help you. We do not offer installation or migration services, but we assist as much as we can.🙂 Thanks, -Jenna Friendly Neighborhood InterWorx Support Manager
