Error when trying to register cPanel plugin

[brainyron]

Registering this same plugin works on another box, so obviously something is amiss here. I've tried running /scripts/checkperlmodules --force and even reinstalling Perl but to no avail.

Server is running CentOS 6.0 on Xen with cPanel 11.30.2

For the other box where this is working, is it running CentOS 5 instead? I am just trying to rule out whether this is related to using CentOS 6 or not.

[brainyron]

Yes, actually, it is CentOS 5. I suspected it might be related which is why I specifically mentioned that. Both boxes are 64 bit.

[MattDees]

Please try renerating the file. What image format did you use when creating the cpanelplugin file?

[brainyron]

I actually did try regenerating the file. I don't remember what it was on the original plugin file but I know this time it was a PNG. Shall I try a JPG? I would also be willing to send you the plugin file if that would be helpful.

[MattDees]

That would be really helpful. Also having the source image you used would be handy.

If you want you can open a ticket w/ "ATTN: Matt Dees" in the subject line at tickets.cpanel.net/submit

If you do it after business hours today, I probably won't get to it until tuesday.

Putting the Relevant files here.

brainyron, it sounds like you're missing the "file" rpm.

open3: exec of file - failed at

Is the "file" rpm installed?

rpm -q file

This rpm/binary is required by /usr/local/cpanel/bin/register_cpanelplugin. Installing that rpm should then take care of this for you.

yum install file

This rpm should have been installed by default on a minimal CentOS install; although I have seen some CentOS 6 installations lack this RPM for yet to be determined reasons. A case had since been filed on this matter (Case 51199) to have cPanel ensure this RPM is installed for you just in case your CentOS install lacked it. That's planned for 11.32. But, as mentioned, it's just a matter of installing the missing RPM manually in the interim.
