--------------------------------

what is the following inodes error?

installing package glibc-2.5-58.el5_6.4.i686 needs 1 inodes on the / filesystem
installing package gettext-0.17-1.el5.i386 needs 1 inodes on the / filesystem


any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

thank you

[cPanelTristan]

Is the server out of available inodes?

df -ki

If you are using a Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtual machine, the machine could be out of inodes. If that is the case, the VPS provider would need to increase the number of available inodes for the update to proceed.

[agnosticon]

here:
# df -ki
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 704134 704134 0 100% /



I also have access to the NODE using openvz where I created this vps, could you tell me how do I increase the nodes?

[cPanelTristan]

Here is a wiki that might be helpful to you for resource shortages such as these:

Resource shortage - OpenVZ Wiki

[agnosticon]

To increase the disk inodes quota, use vzctl set --diskinodes. For example, we want to increase it by a factor of 3:

vzctl set 123 --diskinodes $(( 200000*3 )):$(( 220000*3 )) --save



this should work?

[cPanelTristan]

The numbers they provide are based on 200000 and 220000 for soft and hard limits. Your system shows 704134 and 704134 for those. You would need to use the existing soft and hard limits instead.

Of note, cPanel forum isn't really intended for administering VPS nodes. This isn't our area of expertise. I'd highly suggest posting on an OpenVZ forum for administrative questions such as these.

[agnosticon]

I increased the Inodes:

# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 102398976 20881600 81517376 21% /


But still getting errors:

[agnosticon]

could you please respond?

thank you & sorry for being such a pain in the a**

[cPanelTristan]

Forum threads are handled differently than the ticket system. If this is an emergency issue, then I would highly suggest opening up a ticket in WHM > Support Center > Contact cPanel or using the link in my signature.

Otherwise, try running "yum update" to see the results of that command in root SSH. If yum cannot update, then EasyApache will fail to recompile.

[agnosticon]

yum is giving the same nodes problem still.. its very strange :/

[cPanelTristan]

Please submit a ticket at this point then or reboot the container to see if that corrects the issue.

[agnosticon]

I turned off the quotas in container's config file, and everything is working fine now! thank you for your help Tristan! =)

[agnosticon]

crap, after yum update finished. and I ran easyapache following error showed

Do you have two perl binaries on the machine?

yep
