[Missing language key "cpanel-contactemailnotset"]

Search on the forums for this
[checkperlmodules]

There are threads here that explain how to fix.

[Jonno]

will have a look... but i did have a look before i posted.

seems my WHM has been upgraded to version 11, which must have something to do with it?

seems this is in most of the emails?

CPAN: Module::Signature security checks disabled because Module::Signature
not installed. Please consider installing the Module::Signature module.
You may also need to be able to connect over the Internet to the public
keyservers like pgp.mit.edu (port 11371).

So did I, and I believe I saw the answers you seek.

The basic answer to you is, update your perl distribution to at least 5.8.5 or better (5.8.8 is available). There are some new modules used which do not work with older versions. Updating of perl and modules can be started in WHM (Software, install RPM ... install perl modules)

yes i have installed perl 5.8.8, it was previously 5.8.5.

Now just 4 errors remain:

[checkperlmodules] The perl module Mail::SPF could not be installed.
[checkperlmodules] The perl module XML::LibXML could not be installed.
[checkperlmodules] The perl module Net:AV::Server could not be installed.
[checkperlmodules] The perl module Mail::SPF could not be installed.

i've tried running as per searching

/scripts/realperlinstaller --force XML::LibXML

however the errors are still present.

I'd rather use the WHM / Software / install a perl module
then type in e.g. XML::LibXML
it will display this one and a coule of submodules
click on the XML::LibXML only
wait for the install

repeat for the other modules

be happy.

(At least that worked perfect on my WHM/CPanel)

done the above, same 2 errors

[checkperlmodules] The perl module Net:AV::Server could not be installed.
[checkperlmodules] The perl module XML::LibXML could not be installed.

[zombo]

did you check your perl version ?
ssh to your account, type at the prompt:
perl -v
the result should be something like
This is perl, v5.8.8 ...............
if your version is lower than 5.8.6, some modules do not install.

What is your OS?

[Jonno]

Perl 5.8.8
OS is FC3.

The XML::LibXML problem likely stems from the older version of libxml installed on the system. What is the output from:

/scripts/perlinstaller XML::LibXML

Similarly, what is the output from doing that for Net:av::Server ?

Well that's odd. What does /scripts/checkperlmodules --full produce? Only the output specific to those modules is needed.
