Hello. I am not sure if this is related, but we made a change in the Apache Configuration yesterday, specifically increasing the max request workers. After saving and restarting apache, a few minutes later, 2 of the domains start getting SSL Configuration errors. After a few forced Auto SSL and update and reverting back to the original max request workers, the sites were working again.

@cPRex sir clients are getting angry, every few days any client comes and says his website is not working redirecting to default web page. Some clients gets serious bcz they think their website's data has been deleted or something wrong happened. I will lose clients if it's not fixed soon. Please try to fix it as soon as possible.

Clients complaining.
Clients restoring backups because they think they lost data.
Client telling us how we haven't fixed this in almost 2 months.

Cpanel shouldn't be giving us more work to do, on the contrary...

It has nothing to do with the operating system, the problem is with cpanel.

Maybe if they give a new raise they will fix the problem. Greedy webpros love to price raise.

Has anyone experienced any issues since the .16 update?
Hi,

two days ago,i get the same issue on a server with RELEASE version,
so,had 102.0.15 or 102.0.16 fix it ?

i just think the issue should be fixed,
and wait some days without issue,
and then release it as stable,
it will be better.

0.16 has fixes for all the issues we're currently aware of, and that was released yesterday.
Hi,

but i check the stable version is 102.0.15 now,
do we need switch all servers to RELEASE ?
or will you set stable as 102.0.16 today,too ?

with around 20.000 sites, we see this 1-2 times every few days... sometimes 2 times on the same day. sometimes 1 time in 3-4 days, so is easy not to see (plus, client HAS to notice and report it)
Thanks for you reply Jose. I’m sure it’s a big headache and I hope the issue is fixed for you as well in .16
Kind Regards,
Spiro

Few Hours ago everything was working fine. I just checked now and I discovered an ssl error so Ignored it on my browser and proceeded only to find out that there's an error stating that the ip address has changed.
Below is the screenshot of the page.
This affected even addon domain



Operating SystemCloudLinux v6.10.0
ProductcPanel & WHM v102.0.16 (STANDARD)

Rebuilding fixed it, this is still happening.. What they refer to is that they are intercepted with a non-ssl saying intrusion, when its just defaulting to our wildcard certificate because their VHOST is missing. It's ongoing for 2 weeks now @cPRex and I can confirm that I am using the 102.0.16 (STANDARD)

To rule all doubt when the update occurred

So I am confirming that as of this morning at least when they sent us this, their vhost was missing in the file. I don't know if all those 3 just found this out about 12 hours too late or if it happened this morning but so far I'm skeptic.

EDIT:

Client confirms

Posted today at 10:43 Yes, the site was working fine yesterday. It went down at 9:50 UTC this morning. From Uptime Robot: The monitor Buildings & Cities xxx is currently DOWN (Connection Timeout) Event timestamp: 2022-05-19 09:50:13 UTC+0

According to this, the events took place 09:50 this morning server time,the patch took place 22:26 yesterday, about 12 hours ago, so this happened during .16 patch.
