    I am trying out WHM/cPanel on a clean install of RedHat Linux 6, and been following the installation guide at Step 6: Install cPanel & WHM (or cPanel DNSONLY).


    This is is the error message:
    Code:
    [20130214.110433]   --force passed on command line. Upgrade will disgregard update config settings.
[20130214.110433] E $new_version is not defined! The tier 'edge' appears invalid!

    I am able to connect to httpupdate.cpanel.net via the host or wget commands. Also, the tier 'edge' doesn't seem to matter: I replaced that with release, stable, current in /etc/cpupdate.conf as a troubleshooting measure.

    Hello :)

    Could you paste the full contents of your /etc/cpupdate.conf file?

    Thank you.

    I have same exact problem. New cPanel install failed on same step, but httpupdate.cpanel.net is reachable. Month ago I have installed cPanel on same exact server running CentOS 6.4 without any issue.

    Any clue?

    Thanks

    It looks like you opened a support ticket for this issue. Per the ticket, it was determine this was caused by a faulty NAT configuration. There were custom resolvers configured which may have also attributed to the problem.

    Thank you.
