I see an error when I want to set the cpupdate.conf file to edge and install centos 8.

Code: 
2020-10-13 04:15:01 1413 [6679] (DEBUG):   Retrieving http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/11.91.9999.79/cpanel/scripts/fix-cpanel-perl.xz to the fix-cpanel-perl.xz file...

Go on, have a guess
Looks like it is not working as yet. There are a couple of pre-requisites on a CentOS v8 minimal installation. You must install the following rpms before running the installer:

Code: 
dnf install tar epel-release
However, it then fails on the signature keys on all mirrors, so you won't get much further for now:

Code: 
[2020-10-13 04:04:47 -0400] ***** DIE: Signature verification failed for URL 'http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/11.91.9999.79/binaries/linux-c8-x86_64/.cpanelsync.bz2'. Could not find public key in keychain. (/usr/local/cpanel/.cpanelsync_binaries__forward_slash__linux-c8-x86_64-cpanelsync_HMRZutJu) Please see https://go.cpanel.net/sigerrors for further information about this error.

Got it working with a workaround. After breaking out of the failed install, I edited /var/cpanel/cpanel.config that had been created and changed:

Code: 
signature_validation=Release Keyring Only
to:
Code: 
signature_validation=Release and Development Keyrings
then redo the install and it worked.

There's probably a much nicer way to do all this.

Note: This is to get it working, remember this is experimental from cPanel and should not be used in a production environment.

@vacancy this error appears to be a warning and not a fatal error, am I correct in assuming the installation proceeded?


@chirpy I see your response to the edge-users list too on this (as did all of us here) I'll touch base with that team and see what we can find out about the EPEL issue

@chirpy

Not sure if you've seen this yet but the following was just sent out:

Thank you for the heads up. There was a slight problem with our publication logic which caused the CentOS 8 files to be signed with the incorrect key. We have since published 91.9999.81 to correct this. We also are looking into solutions for the packages required from EPEL.

Can't setup for centos 8 even though i followed all the suggested steps.

I'm trying to install on centos 8.2 minimal. I installed the epel-release package, changed the key setting.

I solved the problem.

The installation path in the cpupdate.conf file was incorrect.

"STAGING_DIR=/data" to "STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel" changed it and started the install.

That's incredibly odd, though I am glad you found the issue
