Fatal Error when trying to edit Contact

    I am migrating to a new server and succesfully copied all the accounts over. I was updating all of the contacts via the WHM List Accounts interface. All but two worked perfectly.

    Two of them had the following error when I clicked the Save Email button:

    [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]The contact email has been changed to address@domain.com.

    Any ideas? I did check the directory and the .contactemail file was 0 bytes and the contactinfo file in .cpanel folder was also 0 bytes. I copied files from an account that works and still have the same issue. I also checked the ownership and rights and they seem to be appropriate.

    Additionally, my List Accounts display has

    <div id

    where the email should be for the two problem accounts!

    Thanks in advance!
    Paul.

    I have it too for one account. I'm not logged in at the moment, I'll post some more specific details later.

    I've got exactly the same problem here.

    I guess this happened when I changed an email using the "auto suggest popup" (from Safari)

    Did someone found a solution to fix accounts having a bogus contact email ?

    Could you provide an example of a bogus contact email?

    Hi kenneth

    Thanks for your reply.

    After my post i just upgraded to WHM 11.24.2. and this fixed the issue:

    I tried to change the contact email that was showing "<div id", and got the
    "[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]The contact email has been changed to address@domain.com. " message.

    But this time, the contact email has been successfully updated. :cool:

    Thank you cPanel team! :p

    I am glad it is sorted for you. If anyone is still able to duplicate this behavior in 11.24 I would be most interested in sample data for testing purposes. Thank you.

    Already running cPanel 11.24.4-R32603 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9, the problem persist. Clicking on the error message (a fatal error...) gave me this

    Code:
    Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/x86_64-linux/YAML/Syck.pm line 72.
	YAML::Syck::Load(undef) called at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/DataStore.pm line 66

	main::dochangeemail() called at whostmgr/bin/whostmgr2.pl line 792
    (I changed the --username-- and xxx@xxx.com part)

    installing YAML::Loader:: Syck doesn't help

    Please advice
