Ignoring bad line in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config: ""

[jackie46]

My server was upgraded to R57 and since then we are seeing

Ignoring bad line in /var/cpanel/cpanel.config: ""

Our users are seeing this error at the top of the control panel, we see it during upcp etc etc.

I looked at the file and it looks fine.

[hostseeker]

same problem here, using Centos 4.3

[rpmws]

remove the blank line return at the bottoma nd save the file.

[jackie46]

Which blank line? There is no carrage return at the bottom of this file.

Thanks, that solved the problem. Somehow last night's update added a blank line to the bottom of my cpanel.config file.

This also occurrs with the wwwacct.conf file. An easy fix for that is to click "Basic cPanel/WHM Setup". Then scroll the bottom and save. This will re-validate and re-save the wwwacct.conf file properly.

Specific to my problem, our wwwacct.conf had "BINDVER 9" and the new cPanel didn't like that line.

Rgarding the OP, you also need to remove this line:

#config ---------------------------------------=

Basically, any line that isn't in the format:

name=value

causes problems in the latest releases.
