cPanel 11.38 perl issues, 500 internals in WHM

[IronChroni]

Hello,

Just reporting an issue I haven't found a solution to.

perl -version

This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 3 (v5.14.3) built for x86_64-linux-64int
(with 4 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.9 (Final)

Going to Add IP to Firewall gets this:

Internal Server Error

cPanel Memory set to unlimited.
Ran upcp --force
Had to reinstall perl from yum just to get upcp to work.
Before was version 5.8.8, now 5.14
Any suggestions are appreciated as the 500 Internals with the exact same errors persist.

Not familiar with apfadd whatever that is, but it sounds like it needs to be updated to work the recent changes in cPanel & WHM.

You might also check with the developer of the plugin to inquire about an update to the script.

It's Advanced Policy Firewall.

OP: Remove and reinstall the plugin and everything will be good - worked every time for me on a number of different plugins.

Ah of course. Thanks for that.

Reinstalling the plug in did not work, but after further investigating errors, easiest method was to fix the path to perl;

rm -f /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
ln -s /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl

Resolved the issue.
