Hey there! It looks like you may be running an operating system that is too old to support updates or a 32 bit version of the operating system. Can you run the following two commands and send us the results?

uname -a
cat /etc/redhat-release

Thank you so much for checking .

Sure , Please find the results below:

# uname -a
Linux server.example.com 4.9.20-11.31.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 13 01:53:57 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64GNU/Linux

[root@server /]# cat /etc/redhat-release

[root@server ~]# cat /etc/system-release
Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.03

Thanks for those details. That is an older AMI build from nearly two years ago, so it is likely no longer compatible. It would be best to get your sites moved over to a more modern build with this base installation here:

Thank you for checking .
So If I upgrade the AMI using this sudo yum update command , Will it be okay ? Because I dont want to move all my sites again . Can I upgrade the current AMI using the update command?

You can try using the "yum update" command, but you may need to perform a migration to a newer platform as I don't think Yum will update the actual base installation of the AMI itself.
