checksum file '/home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DC/DCONWAY/CHECKSUMS' broken

What is this? This is on a new cPanel install.

Not sure if it is the cause of all my issues but this cPanel install is worthless as it will not do anything.

I have a support ticket open about it.

cPanel ID# 163301

Plus I get this:

for further processing, but got garbage instead.

Opened a ticket about this with cPanel 2 days ago. I was told to install Compress::Zlib, which did nothing.

To fix:

1. rm -f /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DC/DCONWAY/CHECKSUMS
2. /scripts/realperlinstaller File::Tail
3. /scripts/realperlinstaller Class::Std
4. Is cppop running? If not (and it wasn't on 2 new installs I did):
/scripts/restartsrv_cppop

* Note: this will not start cppop at all. It will start the other pop daemon, however.

I tried telling them their installer was screwed up, but after waiting 3 hours for a response I closed the ticket. I reopened it for a short time then re closed it again after just deciding to clean up their broken installer myself because I had customers waiting.

I'm still not sure they realize their installer is broken.

[thehostinghut]

Well that did not help.

That is what I just got after doing what you suggested.

Why is there a bind-libs issue still? This should have been fixed a long time ago.

Oh well

Now I'm hearing that modsec installs are failing (using cPanel's Addon Modules modsec installer) due to Tie::IxHash missing.

I'd be curious to know what cPanel has said about this issue in the ticket you have opened with them if you wouldn't mind updating us.

[thehostinghut]

Well here is one response:

I installed the Tie::IxHash Perl module which should fix that issue. Please let me know how things are working.

Then I ran upcp again and I still got the error.

I told them this and this is what they replied with:

Greetings,

I just ran /scripts/upcp --force and monitored the entire output. No further errors were printed while running this.

Well so I went and done it myself in WHM and in shell and I still get the error. Heck I can't even use the transfer account function.

I am just glad that this is not a production box or needed it for one. I would be screwed.

So really I have not gotten a resolve to the problem.

[thehostinghut]

Here was their last reply:

Hello,

There was a problem with the CHECKSUMS file which was causing a Perl module not
to get installed. I downloaded the CHECKSUMS file from a different CPAN mirror and was able to get all the Perl modules installed
successfully as called by /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules. Please let
me know how things are working. I have brought this problem to the attention of the developer's.


Thank you.


I have not tested this as of yet but will let you know if this truly fixed the problem.

[randomuser]

Thanks for the update. As I mentioned in my ticket with cPanel, I realize they don't control CPAN, but I fail to understand why, if their installer tries to install $module, it doesn't check to see if $module was actually installed, and perhaps keep a log of what failed for the user to see. I guess /var/cpanel/updatelogs/* is pretty much it, which is fine if you're up for hunting around. Better than nothing for sure.

I'm still curious to know how the cppop thing went - did the service ever even start? If so, was it even cppop (telnet 0 110 and note the banner).

1 bad checksum file on CPAN shouldn't cause issues of this multitude in my opinion. That's what the numerous mirrors are for in the first place.

[thehostinghut]

Well everything seems to be working on that server now.

I was having issues using the move Copy multiple accounts from another server function so I will try that now and see if it is now fixed.

[thehostinghut]

That seems to be working now too.

[burstcorey]

I downloaded the CHECKSUMS file from a different CPAN mirror and was able to get all the Perl modules installed

Do you possibly have any idea what mirror that was that they downloaded the CHECKSUMS file from? Or did they leave that detail out?

[thehostinghut]

They left that out.

I may ask them where and psot back.

Hey people,
Well, if this is any concellation, my CPanel took a crap.
It was so bad, it took my entire server out.
Hey Cpanel technicians?
Where are you?

As I write this CPanel is being reinstalled, hopefully it installs correctly this time, piece of crap.
just thought I'd toss in my two sense worth.

This is really too vague to even comment on, and could have been related to a number of hardware and/or software related issues.

As I write this CPanel is being reinstalled, hopefully it installs correctly this time, piece of crap.
just thought I'd toss in my two cents worth.

If you run into any issues with the installer, please post them here.
