Installation - httpupdate failed

[sclayton]

Hi

during installation of cpanel 'sh latest' I get the following errors:

Fetching http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanels....bz2....Trying httpupdate.cpanel.net @ 69.72.164.152

wall: can't read cPanel Layer 2 Install Commencing.

I have tried the installation several tmes and it always fails at this point and always at 58% of the download. cpanel.tar.bz2 is being downloaded into /usr/local and its filesize after the error occurs is always:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10084352 Jun 27 16:16 cpanel.tar.bz2

I am trying to install on suSE 8.2, first thoughts were that it must be an OS filesize limit but
running 'ulimit -a' shows that filesize is unlimited.

I am also seeing the following types of errors, but they don't seem to be causing any
particular problems, but I might be wrong!

cpsrvd does not exist anywhere on the system, but I guess this is because the install
in bailing out.


Any help greatly appreciated.

Did you definitely do a minimal OS installation before installing cPanel? Often the cause of such problems can be from full server OS installations where there are conflicting apps installed.

If you did do a minimal install, I'd suggest logging a support ticket directly with cPanel since it is a new installation, at:

Hi

I did do a minimal install but found that I needed to also install the following packages before 'sh latest' would begin to run:

bind9
wget
binutils
python
gcc
utoconf
automake
make
g++
rpm –install rcd-2.2.0-0.ximian.7.5.i586.rpm
rpm –install rug-2.2.0-0.ximian.7.0.i586.rpm
