Perl installation problems.

[anton_latvia]

For some time we are not able to update PERL or run checkperlmodules. Everything hangs on Comress-Zlib module. Here are few last lines. Any ideas how/when to fix?

sorry, no solution for you but i thought i'd mention that i am receiving the same error during a fresh dnsonly install. the log files suggest the install is hanging at exactly the same spot as does a netstat. if i can't find a solution here, i'm probably going to open a support ticket. i'll post my results back here.

I found the following patch in another thread. It seems to work around the issue. I'm still waiting for the install to complete, but it has gone far beyond the point it used to without the patch. To install it,

Save the patch to a file (e.g. cPCPAN.patch) and patch it against the cPCPAN.pm on your system. For example:

patch /path/to/your/cPCPAN.pm cPCPAN.patch

--------- patch is everything below this line ------------

That patch was applied however it still doesn't resolve the issue where 'upcp' goes looking for a file on a invalid IP range.

We need a proper urgent fix, or at least some attention from CPanel Support regarding this issue.

I have downloaded perl installation from http://layer1.cpanel.net and run it. When I get to this crappy message, I hit Ctrl+C and installation continues. Then I run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules and sometimes (???) this problem is fixed.

Hi,

Try
/scripts/sysup
/scripts/rpmup

and then check updating perl modules, you shouldn't get any problem.

With regards,
Narendra.

Make sure your server resolves properly. SSH to the server and run these commands (in that order):
mv /scripts /scripts.OLD
mkdir /scripts
rsync -av rsync://rsync.cpanel.net/scripts /scripts
/scripts/sysup
/scripts/rpmup

It installed all perl modules but I can't use dnsonly installer. There is the same problem as earlier. It is some bug in installer i think. Resolving works properly.

[marcinTM]

Same problem beguile - how solve?

[jacknv]

I got by it by installing it through cpan

cpan install Compress::Zlib

Once it was done all was good

I get this too, going to open a support ticket.

[anton_latvia]

Any luck with opened ticket? Few of our server has this problem and few - don't...
