EasyApache4 provision

[onoff]

having a bit of a head scratch. Is this a CloudLinux issue of cPanel?

running CL7 with EA4 on a WHM 56.0 (build 24). packages install fine via yum, but when trying to install them via EA4 this is what I am getting:

Provision process started.
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 4787, in install
    mypkgs = self.pkgSack.returnPackages(patterns=pats,
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1079, in <lambda>
    pkgSack = property(fget=lambda self: self._getSacks(),
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 784, in _getSacks
    self.repos.populateSack(which=repos)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/repos.py", line 344, in populateSack
    self.doSetup()

    func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs))
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py", line 202, in postreposetup_hook
    all_urls = FastestMirror(all_urls).get_mirrorlist()
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py", line 369, in get_mirrorlist
    self._poll_mirrors()
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py", line 413, in _poll_mirrors
    pollThread.start()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 746, in start
    _start_new_thread(self.__bootstrap, ())
thread.error: can't start new thread

yum exited 256

Provision process finished.

any help appreciated...

Hi,

Can you throw in a support ticket on this? This is something I haven't seen before. It sounds like Yum can't get the memory it needs to start a new thread, but it's odd. There's a link in my signature to throw in a ticket.

Thanks!

It´s more likely a YUM plugin issue. For me it was the "fastestmirror" plugin that caused the provision error on a VM with 4 GB RAM.

Please try to reduce the "maxthreads" value from 15 to 5 and try again.

File to edit: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

To update, the issue was addressed by rebuilding the RPM database.

Thank you.
