SOLVED Perl problems with 78.0.13?

Nicola Urbinati · Mar 5, 2019

Hi,

I find many lfd warnings with (I think) perl problems, like:

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log:
Use of uninitialized value $peername in unpack at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Server/Connection.pm line 289.
Use of uninitialized value $ip in pack at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Server/Connection.pm line 290.

/var/log/cxswatch.log:
Mar  5 09:05:42 srvcp01 cxswatch[4835]: Child 1: (Scan Error [Undefined path for Socket::pack_sockaddr_un at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/528/lib/perl5/5.28.0/x86_64-linux-64int/Socket.pm line 873, <$C31KS8Q68F62ZR2VBYER72WR2B3PQYZ2Z8K30YRJ1SU44MIAEL4> line 18159.

I also contacted csf for cxswatch problems, but aving also problems elsewhere (WHM/cPanel specific) I also see the need to post here.

Thank you.

I can't speak to the cPanel log, but the first thing I would do for the CXS issue was to make sure its running the latest version. Have you tried updating it?

Nicola Urbinati · Mar 5, 2019

Already last version, previously checked.

For cxswatch, it just seems to be tripping on a perl problem.

GOT · Mar 5, 2019

Never seen that. Can you ensure these RPMs are installed:

perl-IO-Socket-IP-0.21-5.el7.noarch
perl-Socket-2.010-4.el7.x86_64
perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.94-7.el7.noarch

Nicola Urbinati · Mar 5, 2019

All three already installed.

I must say that the problem begun with cPanel update it seems to me, and everything worked fine before, so the system should be properly updated and configured.

I'm still eager to try and answer other debugs/solutions if you have other insights, thank you very much.

cPanelLauren · Mar 5, 2019

Hi @Nicola Urbinati

I run CSF and haven't run into any issues so it must be something specific to CXS - Unfortunately as it's a 3rd party software I can't guarantee compatibility that portion is ConfigServer to manage. I can though address perl issues that may be specific to cPanel. Can you show me an example of these which aren't related to CSF?

Thanks!

Nicola Urbinati · Mar 5, 2019

Hi @cPanelLauren

Are these examples from cpanel's logs, or not?

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log:
Use of uninitialized value $peername in unpack at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Server/Connection.pm line 289.
Use of uninitialized value $ip in pack at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Server/Connection.pm line 290.

As of cxs, it begun throwing those errors from upgrading to 78.0.13.

Let's see if 78.0.15 could have someway solved, I'll get back with some more examples or with a "solved" comment.

I was under the impression from your initial response that this was being presented as a result of something in CXS - I'm not seeing any of this and I run my primary server on EDGE is there more to those two errors than what you added? Specifically anything above or below?

Thanks!

Hi @cPanelLauren

Back here to say that, after a night and some lfd hourly runs after 78.0.15 update, I can fairly state the problem has solved, both cpsrvd and cxs do not throw those lines in the logs, and lfd does not warn me anymore about that.

For reference, the last lines with those errors are (still 78.0.13):

Code:

Then, from that moment on, no more of those errors (even if the log line is tagged [info], lfd saw that as problematic), I only see one more problematic moment in the logs (already 78.0.15):

I'm really glad to hear that updating resolved the error.

Based on the errors you're receiving they all seem to be CloudLinux related:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    with open(path, 'r') as f:

Both of those are specific to CloudLinux's LVE Manager accessing the cpanel.config.

What are the permissions of this file?

Code:

stat /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

HI @Nicola Urbinati

The permissions of that file are incorrect. They should be 644 this is an example from my server:

Code:

# stat /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
  File: ‘/var/cpanel/cpanel.config’
  Size: 7320          Blocks: 16         IO Block: 4096   regular file

Can you run the following and then let us know if the issues persist?

Code:

Nicola Urbinati · Mar 8, 2019

Hi,

Issue resolved.

I have other issues (like systematic problems with exim/smtp/cpsrvd failing around 09.10PM almost every day), but I'll probably open a different post to keep issues clearer between them.

Thank you very much.

cPanelLauren · Mar 8, 2019

Hi @Nicola Urbinati

I'm glad to hear that resolved the issue! Please do open a different thread for the other issues and we'll do our best to help with those as well!

Thanks!

@jmginer

This looks to be an issue with the 3rd party software CXS Scanner not the same issue as presented in this thread.
