Can`t upcp because of ftp

[bin_asc]

I`m trying to an upgrade on one of the boxes, but upcp fails ( even with --force ) at ftup. Any one had similar problems ?

Adrian,
I assume you meant "ftpup" - is it failing at the rpm installation or at the fetching of the rpm?
Can you provide us with some logs to determine what is happening? Thanks!

 

[bin_asc]

Yes, that`s what I meant.
I checked /var/log/messages but there`s nothing in there to relate to this issue.

Check the contents of /var/cpanel/updatelogs

 

[bin_asc]

Just the last lines :

Checking /dev/sda....S.M.A.R.T does not appear to be enabled for this device.
...Done
Running Named Checks......Done
Updating FTP Server...Ftp Setup Script Version 6.1

Nothing more afterwards.

Another problem is, that I tried to disable FTP upgrade, and see if cPanel updates the rest, but then it stalls on the exim update ( which I believe is after ftp update ).

If you are on a RPM based system, your RPM database may be corrupted.

Well, it`s centos 5. I`ll try and see if I can repair the db.

I fixed it rebuilding the rpm db. Take a backup of /var/lib/rpm & run rpm --rebuilddb.
