Cpanel Installation Problems

Yaza · Jun 16, 2005

Machine Information (to help troubleshooting):

Dual Opteron
cAos-2 X86_64 base install + wget/GCC/sshd

I just completed an install of Cpanel. I had several warning during the install and mysql appears to have had fatal errors and was not installed at all... Under WHM, service status only shows local resources (load, mem, swap, partitions (not services)). I suspect that is another installation error as a cursory inspection reveals that apache and a variety of other services are running.

I updated to the latest 'release' build of cpanel in the hope that the problems would automagically fix itself during an upgrade, it did not, I encountered several errors, including the following excerpt:

It continues on like that for awhile, the mysql portion is the only portion that has so many errors, all of them include the 'Can't find distro version at /scripts/fileversion.pl line 19." message.

I have looked through the /var/log/cpanel-install-thread*.log files and see many warnings and errors, but, I have been unable to determine which parts are relevant and/or would prove useful and posting them all would quickly reach the post size limit.

If anyone has any advice, I am all ears.

Hello,

Try /scripts/upcp --force
Also there may be problem of language which is missing (arabic language)

With regards,
:D :p

Did not seem to work, it ran and downloaded / tried to set things up but ran into the same errors. It also appears that the ftp service and exim mail service were not installed properly.

Update: switching to pureftpd resulted in ftp becoming functional, exim started working when I tried upgrading to current. Unfortunately I still need to figure out how to make mysql install...

chirpy · Jun 17, 2005

You could try:

/scripts/mysqlup --force

Yaza · Jun 17, 2005

unfortunately that does not work either. :/

Every package it attempts to install ends with a 'no such xyz' error.

chirpy · Jun 17, 2005

In this instance, I'd suggest that you log a support ticket with cPanel:
https://tickets.cpanel.net/submit/index.cgi?support=1

Yaza · Jun 17, 2005

Can I log a ticket with cpanel when I am using a third party externel license?

I contacted my third party licensing company, but, this appears to be a problem with the cpanel install script and cAos-2...

chirpy · Jun 17, 2005

Indeed, you ought to go through the external license company. However, cPanel may be willing to help since it's a new install on an OS which is probably quite rarely used. You can always ask cPanel if they're willing to help in this instance directly.

unixsoft.org and MySQL

I have the same issue, and the reason is that the unixsoft.org domain has expired, and the registrar is sending all requests off to fast-web-search.com

This was reported in the cpanel bugzilla under bug #1602 in December 2004, but still hasn't been assigned to anyone, and is listed as "unconfirmed.

I logged a request with Cpanel over 18 hours ago, and still haven't had the confirmation email back to say it's been received. Hopefully this will be resolved soon, so I can get my server live sometime in the next 2 weeks.

stevewalsh · Jul 14, 2005

I got a reply on my support ticket and it appears the solution is to edit the /root/.cpmysqlrpm/mirrors.lst and mirrors.speed files and remove all reference to the unixsoft.org domain.

After I did this, I ran the /scripts/mysqlup and it updated the MySQL in no time and gave me a happy little Mysql process screen when I asked for it.

And how did you do that? Is there a quick way to remove that lines from files?

Solved already. I will tell here for newbies how to do that. Use any SSH client to connect to your server.

Enter command

vi /root/.cpmysqlrpm/mirrors.lst
Navigate using cursor keys to the line containing "unixsoft.org" and hit "d" key twice. Line will be removed. Now type ":w" and enter, then ":q" and enter. File will be saved and you will quit vi.

Enter command
vi /root/.cpmysqlrpm/mirrors.speed

and repeat the same operations
