Cpanel Update crashed box

[cyexx]

I have a FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0 Thu Aug 11 20:53 box running had an uptime of about 3 months and everything was going fine until cpanel ran the new update for stable, for some reason upcp removed the shared linux lib files in /usr/lib that are required for cpanel.whm.cppop and other things to run and because of such core dumped the machine into a reboot, i have re-linked the lib files and tried restarting but the same problem happens where apache, exim, cppop, whm, ftp, mysql will not come back up, the only way to get them to come back online is to manual restart the services, and the only way to get whm back online is to force a /scripts/upcp --force command

the cpanel mainlog is empty, everytime i try to start cpanel from the cli i get command not found for "service start cpanel" and restartsrc_cpanel does not exist on the system

any idea's

i get command not found for "service start cpanel" and restartsrc_cpanel does not exist on the system

try "service cpanel restart"

my cpanel box wont go into cpanel after last nights update, i still have whm working though.. just trying a "/scripts/upcp --force" now and it seems to hang after it updates the scripts

same problem here.

10.8.2-STABLE_120

cppop stopped working last night unexpectedly. That was resolved by restarting cPanel I believe.

Now I have users saying a few of their joomla/wordpress installs are throwing 500 internal server errors. Ran /scripts/upcp, and MySQL stops working completely. Restarting cPanel resolved the issue.

And people wonder why some are nervous when it comes to running upcp - even on "STABLE" releases.

edit: restarting cPanel did in fact not resolve this. what the hell cPanel

You're using FreeBSD which is a little different than other Linux distributions.

The problem here is that locale is not set correctly. To fix it, run the following command:

setenv LC_ALL "C"
setenv LANG "en_US"

When done, run the following commands:
/scripts/rpmup
/scripts/sysup
/scripts/upcp --force

finally got it fixed it was a layer of problem for some reason upcp thought my freebsd box was a linux box and had changed all the linkers and had removed perl and cpan
