SOLVED [CPANEL-21254] cPanel version change from “11.72.0.3” to “” failed during updatenow

[Nirjonadda]

I am getting email about cPanel version change from “11.72.0.3” to “” failed during updatenow

Also why CURRENT Tier are not marked by dot?



The system detected an error during the cPanel & WHM version change from “11.72.0.3” to “”, which prevented the updatenow process from completing normally.

Review the attached log for further details.

I should imagine the update failed because it thinks you want to downgrade to the LTS tier.

It clearly shows that the Installed Version you have is 72.0.3 but the Current Tier is lts

How your system ended up with the current tier as lts is a mystery. I would have thought that the system would not have allowed the selection of something that represented a downgrade, so maybe your update preferences file has become corrupted somehow.

You might like to review The cPanel Update Configuration File - cpupdate.conf - Version 70 Documentation - cPanel Documentation to see if there is anything there that might help you.

You could try and manually select the CURRENT (and save) and run upcp again and see what happens - or wait till Monday for an answer from cPanel staff.

Hello,


As described by @rpvw this is occurring because you're running 72.0.3 and it appears you may be trying to downgrade. In the update logs at /var/cpanel/updatelogs/ it should let you know the specific error that was causing the update to fail as well.


I do want to point out that there is no supported way to downgrade cPanel.

Thanks!

I haven't doing downgrading. This e-mail from cron update cpanel.

HI @Nirjonadda

Can you please check /var/cpanel/updatelogs/ for the last update which should detail in the log why the update failed.


Thanks!

Hi @Nirjonadda

An internal case was just filed that I believe matches the description of your issue. CPANEL-21254 - Saving CURRENT in Update Preferences is placing an invalid tier in /etc/cpupdate.conf

Can you run the following so I can see if it matches the case?

cat /etc/cpupdate.conf

Thanks!

Output is

[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/cpupdate.conf
CPANEL=11.current
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily
[[email protected] ~]#

Hi @Nirjonadda

Based on that output, specifically the line:

CPANEL=11.current

This is definitely related to the internal case. The workaround for this until its resolved (which should be really soon) is to manually edit /etc/cpupdate.conf and change the line to:

CPANEL=current

I'll also update here when the issue is resolved.

Thanks!

Hello,

To update, this was fixed in cPanel & WHM version 72:

Fixed case CPANEL-21254: Ensure saving named tiers in update preferences doesn't misconfigure update settings.

The case was also published to cPanel & WHM version 70.

Thanks!
