Hi all,
Here's my configuration basics:
I had been content to let cpanel automatically upgrade from Courier to Dovecot but this has turned out to be a serious mistake. I got the following email (in the codeblock below), and ever since then, there's been trouble; much of WHM's internal pages are stuck mid-upgrade (eg, I can't access Mailserver Configuration because it just goes to the
cPanel & WHM Update in Progress
This functionality is not available until the cPanel update is complete.
page. I only noticed when I discovered that this server's ListMessenger newsletter mailer is super broken. Not a terribly surprising outcome, but one I'd like to resolve quickly, and settling out this apparently half-finished upgrade seems like the first step.)
If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Liz
