Many of you have been asking for it, and now you can try it for yourself – InterWorx can now by installed on CentOS 7!
Please bear in mind that this is a pre-beta, so we don’t recommend using for production purposes yet.
To install InterWorx on CentOS7:
[LIST=1]
sh <((curl -sL interworx.com/inst.sh)) -r beta
[/LIST]
Enjoy! If you run into any issues while testing InterWorx on CentOS7, let us know at support@interworx.com!
Hi Brett,
I tried to do a quick test on a DO droplet, but I can’t install IW. I always get the following message.
STATUS: Determining Linux distribution
ERROR: CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) not supported, override with -f
tail: cannot open ?iworx-install.log? for reading: No such file or directory
I created the iworx-install.log file manually, but the error occurs again, OS not supported. The installed OS is: CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)
I checked the iworx-cp-install.sh file and it does not contains anything about Centos 7. Is it the correct file?
Hey DSS – try it now!
Working for me at the moment.
Much better, installing 
Installed succesfull, but can’t activate:

Hey dss – can you email support@interworx.com about that? We’ll need to get access to the machine to see what’s going on there.
We didn’t have enough free memory. It was a small VPS with 512MB of RAM. I tried to activate with ~300MB of free RAM, but it wasn’t enough too. I’m going to install this version on a different (bigger) VPS in mid-Januray.
The older versions with CentOS 5/6 wokrs fine with 512MB of RAM.
Happy New Year!
going to try this on a centos7 server, anyone else had success getting it working ok
has any one had any other issues
I could install Interworx successfully on a Centos 7 test server. I noticed 3 things so far:
I can confirm the 2nd and 3rd! I noticed, that I can’t change SSH port, and can’t set up DNS synchronization.
It would be good to make a public or a private (with invited users) bug tracker to collect the possible bugs, it’s much easier then send support tickets 2-3 times about a problem.
glenkinchie: Did you discover any problem with the homepages? I had to modify the config files to be able to open the default SiteWorx page.
I had a quick look at the DNS synchronization, I get an error too: ? Error adding DNS host : xxx.xxx.xxx.xx => hostname.domain.tld. Test completes with success. I can’t tell you if changing SSH Port is working, I changed mine before running the Interworx script. I didn’t add a domain yet, so I can’t really say if the homepages are working. But I can imaginge that the problems results of the two acitvated mods php and suphp.

Hey guys! Great feedback so far! I’m working on the apache stuff now (so much changed from 2.2 to 2.4).
I believe #1 is unrelated to the CentOS 7 changes, but I’ve made a note of it.
With regards to #2, this is due to some web server configuration files being split out. Near as I can tell, the ‘security risk’ error is a false positive and can be suppressed by commenting out the contents of /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php.conf. This will prevent mod_php from attempting to load automatically and allow InterWorx to handle things. I should have a more appropriate fix for this one soon.
I’m also looking into #3 now. Thanks again!
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your feedback. My installation totally died tomorrow, I can’t login. What can I do?
This is what I can see when opening NodeWorx:

Hi dss
I think your error is on ip bindings, and I’ve seen this on centos 6…
I have posted in forum how to clear it, as something has not released ip/port, but if you can’t find the post, just restart server and it should clear it.
I could be wrong though, so apologies in advance, and sorry, I am very eager to try centos 7, but am not in a position to at the moment. I did try to install using USB stick, made via windows and hit the special folder which is not transferred correctly, so will have to wait, but I’m following this thread
Hope that helps
Many thanks
John
John, thank you for your reply! That was the first I tried but unfortunately not working.
Thanks for the reply, Matt.
Today I’ve got the same error as dss, the server died. When I login to Nodeworx I get following message:
System Error
A system error has occurred. Please try your request again in a few minutes.
If the problem persists, please contact Support.
After a reboot, the iworx service wasn’t running anymore. After a manual start I again get the same errors as dss (note that the timestamp of the log is also way off: server time is: 17.28h and log stamp is 11:28h)

Hi dss
Sorry, should have known you’d have tried restart sorry.
Have you both opened a support ticket so IW could have a look to see what’s going on.
Last thought, which I’m sure you’ve tried, if you completed matts suggestion over mod php, have you reversed it and restarted to see if it’s connected.
Many thanks
John

Unfortunately, not solved. Now I’m waiting for the support team. It’s only a test VPS so I have time Thank you for your help!
I’m sure there isn’t a good answer to this, but I’m going to ask anyway 
Is there any ETA on a production version of IW with COS7 support? I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade my server, but since I’ve waited “this long” I’m debating just waiting it out more so I can move right to CentOS7. It’s such a pain in the butt moving because I always just get a new server with a fresh install of CentOS and then move all my sites over.
If it’s likely to happen before June I’ll probably wait, if not I won’t.
Thanks!
