SOLVED Deleted files under /tmp

[Elizabeta]

Hello,

I have cPanel&WHM version 72.0.11. I have deleted accidentally everything under /tmp.

We have another cPanel on other machine and I see that in that directory there are:

Is there anything important for normal working of cPanel?
In backup files I do not see that files under /tmp are backuped in system files?

Best regards,

Hello @Elizabeta,

The only essential file you should recreate is the MySQL socket symbolic link. To do so, run the following file:

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

The OS and/or cPanel & WHM should regenerate any other required files in /tmp as needed.

I have cPanel&WHM version 72.0.11

As a reminder, cPanel & WHM version 72 is now at end-of-life status:

Reminder: cPanel & WHM Version 72 now EOL

Thank you.

Hello Michael,

Thank you very much for your answer.
I did not delete everything under /tmp
I have a sym link


[[email protected] tmp]# ls -la mysql.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Ruj 17 12:20 mysql.sock -> ../../var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Also, I have a plan to upgrade cPanel to 74.0.6 stable version.

Best regards,
Elizabeta

Hello @Elizabeta,

If that symbolic link exists, then you should be all set. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
