rsync://rsync.cpanel.net broken?

[Sinewy]

hey,

apparently on all my servers when it does the rsync sections in upcp and /scripts/updatenow, rsync times out.

rsync server is dead?

[nickn]

root@cara [~/test/blah]# /scripts/updatenow
Updating /scripts...Done
root@cara [~/test/blah]#

Seems fine.

Try :

dig rsync.cpanel.net

and

traceroute rsync.cpanel.net

ping/traceroutes are fine. http is fine. *only* rsync doesnt work.

the dns resolves fine.

Check your firewall. You probably blocked it.

Well I had this problem too. I have APF firewall installed. I did this:

/usr/local/sbin/apf -a rsync.cpanel.net

And it worked. Do that from SSH. If it doesn't work and if you don't have APF firewall installed, reply and I will look into some other solutions.

thanks for reminding me i had apf installed LOL i'll have a try later, im almost certain it is because i introduced egress filtering recently.

whats the port for rsync? i rather enable that port all together.
