As per upstream centos8 bug https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17920

PowerTools is now powertools

Hey hey! We're on it, and have case CPANEL-35144 open to get the installer adjusted. It looks like this will actually be in production this week from what I'm seeing, so you can keep an eye on the change logs here to see when that goes live:

92 Change Log | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document lists the cases and bugs worked on during the version 92 release cycle.

docs.cpanel.net

I'll also post an update here once that fix has been applied.

Hi cPRex, are there any quick work around, or do we have to wait for the cPanel fix?

Thanks

As a workaround: edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-PowerTools.repo and copy the [powertools] section to [PowerTools]

 

[cPRex]

@aled2305 - The workaround provided by @chirpy would work to fix the repository, but it won't work during the cPanel installation process. For the actual install to be fixed you'll need to wait for that case to be resolved.

 

[splaquet]

not sure if it'd fix the issue, but i read that it was updated to powertools (from PowerTools)

 

[cPRex]

@splaquet - thanks for bringing this thread to my attention again. We have fixed the installer on our side for all 92 and 94 versions, I just didn't get around to updating this thread.

 

[splaquet]

i gave it a shot... and sure enough, it went through as expected. thank you kindly, sir

i realize this one's off topic. but how about removing the namespace limit on MySQL 8 tables & usernames? i installed MySQL8 (because why would I not?!) and now have the server up and ready to port over some of my personal sites, for testing and performance benchmarking.

BUT (note the BIG BUT?), due to DB/username character limitations (set by cPanel i'd assume?), there are a few hiccups with the export/import process.

i also had to run this in mysql:

SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;

and then this on my .sql import file:

sed -i 's/NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER//' mydump.sql

 

[cPRex]

@splaquet - could you start a new thread for that issue so we can keep this one focused on the installation case?
