cPanel & WHM update failure in upcp script

[monkey64]

I'm running WHM v100.0.5 on AlmaLinux v8.5.0. For the past 2 days, I have received an email indicating me of a 'cPanel & WHM update failure in upcp script'.

Running the 'find_outdated_services' command works as expected:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/find_outdated_services
Looking for outdated services …
The system did not find any outdated services.

Running this command however:

awk '$4=="E"' /var/cpanel/updatelogs/update.372707.1091440708.1630597035.log

Outputs the following:

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[andrew.n]

Could you paste the full log here? thanks

I’m pretty much in an identical scenario.

The cPanel & WHM update process failed for the following reason:

Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). The following events were logged: “scripts/find_outdated_services”. Review the update logs to determine why the update failed.

[andrew.n]

full log please

 

[eLIANT]

mine's a little simpler, I think.
Running 100.0.5
Cron output email Subject contains: (/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fix-cpanel-perl; /etc/upcp_control)
and email body is:

updates
Updating target version in cpupdate.conf to 11.86
cannot find /var/cpanel/sysinfo.config

 

[andrew.n]

Interesting that file doesn't exist on a few of my systems either. If you execute these commands manually do you get the same?

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fix-cpanel-perl

if yes then can you try to create that file and see how it works?

touch /var/cpanel/sysinfo.config

 

[cPRex]

@eLIANT - if you're already on version 100, it seems odd the updater would mention version 86. I'm wondering if there is an issue with the /etc/cpupdate.conf file on your machine. I pulled this from a system running the Current tier:

# cat /etc/cpupdate.conf
CPANEL=current
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/usr/local/cpanel
UPDATES=daily

so can you see if your file is similar to that?

 

[eLIANT]

was CPANEL=11.86
I changed it to CURRENT

Waiting to see if updates work correctly.

 

[cPRex]

I would expect things to work better after that value is changed to Current. Let me know if you still run into any issues!

 

[eLIANT]

Hmmm.... Got another email: says the same thing. CPANEL=11.86

visited /etc/cpupdate.conf and sure enough, it was set for 11.86.

Either I failed miserably, or ... what? There is no "or". I failed. I've re-enter "CURRENT" and saved the file, double-checked. Now I wait. Again.

 

[cPRex]

Just for fun, could you try lower-case letters?

There's no reason to wait - you can run "/scripts/upcp --force" to start the update now. It'll still follow the settings in that file.
