Install Hang

[parkypoo22]

Hey,

Having an install issue i would appreciate some input on:

Fresh install of cPanel DNS only on centos 4.4

minimal install of centos
installed yum key
ran DNS only install script

All looks good, until this point:

sync complete

perlmods

....
....
....

Then im stuck in a never ending bombardment of ....'s!

Thanks

Matt

Just curious, would this happen to be a vps???

 

[parkypoo22]

Your right on the mark with that one.

I'm racking my head as to why it would have an effect mind you??

Switch to another console and list the running processes. That should/might tell you what it's stuck on.

seems to multiples of this:

root 25438 25427 0 20:28 pts/3 00:00:01 /usr/bin/perl /scripts/realperlinstaller version Archive::T


this

root 17503 17475 0 18:50 ? 00:00:00 sh perlmods


and this

root 17475 17469 0 18:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl


Tried to post the whole lot but think its too big for the forum.

To add to that this group is repeated three times:

root 17157 17114 0 18:34 ? 00:00:00 sh perlmods
root 17158 17157 0 18:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules
root 17168 17158 0 18:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/expect -- /scripts/expectperlinstaller version Arc
root 17169 17168 0 18:34 pts/1 00:00:03 /usr/bin/perl /scripts/realperlinstaller version Archive::T
root 17415 17169 0 18:37 pts/1 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /scripts/realperlinstaller version Archive::T

Ok, there is pretty much nothing you can do yourself. See if your provider could temporarily upscale your cpu units and beancounters to get cpanel installed. They can then scale you back down to your normal account size.

You are just limited in total cpu resources and processes so you do not hog the box. When you reach your ceiling, everything will be killed or timed out.

Better yet, see if your provider would be kind enough to run cpins for you. If you have a vz vps, then they could easily install a template configured for cPanel which helps.

Thanks for your comments.

Upped memory to 2Gb and given a second core too. Unfortunately to no avail

Starting to wonder if it has anything to do with this - http://www.pagetable.com/?cat=2

I may try the 32bit version of centos and see what happens.

Did you scale up beancounters as well? even if you upscale the memory, the amount of time cycles may not be enough. Try upscaling your cpu and beancounters to a multiple of 10 for the install.

Try unlimited ve class as well.

I use rh9 template with devel app.
