cpsrvd fails after upcp

[MaraBlue]

This has happened twice during the last week. Anyone else seeing this?

Same, restart happened auto magically, and that was the end of that. Happened twice in a row, on the third night however, it didn't happen.

You still getting this error?

Tonight (12/08/07) it happened and automatically restarted. On 12/03/07 it failed to restart either automatically or when I restarted from the command line. I got this error:

cpsrvd dead but pid file exists

And found this (slightly older) forum thread: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=56976

which linked this bug: http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4564

where a suggested workaround was to:

In /etc/init.d/cpanel change

status cpsrvd

to

status cpsrvd-ssl

Soon there will be a total change to cpanel start up but this is a patch untill
then.

I did that and it seemed to work. I restarted cpanel several times, seemed to be fine:

root     32137  0.0  1.0 21224 10428 pts/0   S    23:09   0:00 cpsrvd - waiting for connections
root     32245  0.0  0.0  5968  628 pts/0    S+   23:13   0:00 grep cpsrvd

No problems until tonight, although this time it restarted itself successfully. Each time immediately after upcp runs. Hopefully it's just a random anomaly that will go away.

Based on that, my two errors may just have been cpsrvd taking it's time restarting or trying to restart before upcp wanted it to?

Again - I haven't seen it happen on my servers more than those two times but I've got this page bookmarked for the event it should happen.

Thanks MaraBlue
