SOLVED My GoDaddy WHM / cPanel prompts for upgrade

[Leonidas Savvides]

My Godaddy WHM / cPanel prompts for an update
see
attached image
==
Normally I have to press the "Click to Upgrade" button and wait to complete???
==
VPS Server needed restart after?
Web Sites are Not affected by this upgrade, during the upgrade, correct?
In other words, I Do Not have to apply Upgrade off-peak hours????

 

[Leonidas Savvides]

This VPS is a Linux Server cPanel/WHM

 

[kodeslogic]

It is a minor version upgrade (small upgrade) shouldn't take a long time to finish. However, it is always recommended to carry out such activities in off-peak hours.

It looks like your RPM database is corrupted hence the upgrade failed. You can try to re-create the RPM db or hire a cPanel certified sys admin from System Administration Services for professional help.

mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /tmp/
rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean all

 

[kodeslogic]

Yes, it is due to the RPM database is corrupt. Steps to re-create the RPM db is already shared by andrew.n

 

[Leonidas Savvides]

It looks like your RPM database is corrupted hence the upgrade failed. You can try to re-create the RPM db or hire a cPanel certified sys admin from System Administration Services for professional help.

mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /tmp/
rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean all

By saying RPM database
Is the RedHat package manager database?
Is serious problem, or any danger permanently do the VPS Server useless?
Or danger impact my web sites or MySQL databases?

This command is correct? Mv is move - after are two parameters? Where is the space between?
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /tmp/

Can give these commands in CLI from web Terminal in WHM?

 

[andrew.n]

Yes that's correct. You should always make backup beforehand.
If you copy paste the command you can see there is a space between the parameters.
You can run these from web terminal in WHM

 

[Leonidas Savvides]

you say "You should always make a backup beforehand."

What to backup?
Do the instructions 3:00 in the morning on off-peak, correct?

 

[andrew.n]

Leonidas, if you are that unsure I suggest you to hire somebody to do this for you. We can guide you how to fix it but you need to have a certain level of expertise to decide whether it's a right way or not and ensure that you have all the "safety" measures if something go south.... just my 2cents.

 

[cPRex]

The "mv" command that @andrew.n provided creates the RPM backup on the system for you.

Can you try that and let us know the results?

 

[Leonidas Savvides]

I read many Linux books
And feel confident in Linux Terminal

I will try 3:00 tomorrow
The cmd mv can be copy: cp, or must be mv...?

 

[cPRex]

The "mv" command is correct. You could also try and perform this work through WHM directly using the details in our guide here:

[andrew.n]

Everything looks good nice job Leonidas!

 

[Nomioo]

You should upgrade it.
