    I'm running CENTOS 5.7 and tried to manually install an rpm package using:

    Code:
    rpm -ivh dragondisk-0.9.6-1.i686.rpm
    The install appeared to hang.
    Logging into WHM and viewing the "Install a RPM" list showed dragondisk on the list with (re-install) written next to it. So I therefore thought it had installed correctly.

    However, running this command:

    Code:
    rpm -q dragondisk-0.9.6-1.i686.rpm
    gives me "package dragondisk-0.9.6-1.i686.rpm is not installed"

    Which one is correct?
    I either want to successfully install this package or completely remove it but I seem to be stuck in the middle.

    I have since found out that installing rpm packages from Jared at CPanel is not a good idea because it can cause all sorts of problems when running Easy Apache. What should I do?

    How about trying this command:

    Code:
    rpm -qa | grep -i dragondisk
    Maybe you have an older version of dragondisk installed and that's why it isn't picking it up on the prior search you performed.

    As for the installation, how about checking if you still have the rpm install trying to run and that's why it is hanging:

    Code:
    ps aux | grep rpm

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have gone down a slightly different route...
    Managed an erase the rpm by using the following:

    Code:
    rpm -e dragondisk-0.9.6-1.i686

    Hi monkey64,

    So you have correctly installed the package again or still facing the same problem as above? I hope you have also checked the architecture of your server using uname -a & the release installed with cat /etc/redhat-release before downloading the accurate package.

    I usually look in WHM > Server Status > Server Information.
    Running CentOS which I believe is a community based OS based on the Red Hat flavour of Linux.
    I definitely got the right package...

    I'm glad that worked, but you would have been better off running the commands I indicated before doing so in order for us to find out which dragondisk version you were already running. Now, we won't know what was happening. It's obvious a different version was installed or else you couldn't have erased it using rpm -e
