I didn't see *anything* that made it better than RH 7.2, but then again I haven't been in one of the machines yet. Hopefully we proceed with caution .... remember the RH superstars are notorious for pushing things out without thoroughly testing *everything*
(but who isn't?)
:p

Remember the RH 7.0 hellspawned compilers?

Fun.

rh 7.3 seems to actually be a winner .... of course its going to prove me wrong later. However its been the easiest redhat to port cpanel to in a long time.

(7.3 installer now on layer1)

Is it safe to install 7.3 over 7.1? Will it change anything apart from the OS itself? Can you guarantee that it will work without trouble once installed? ....... ;-)

In general it should.. I've already upgraded a few 7.x systems with little or no problems. The worst I've had to do is just run upcp after the upgrade to clean up everything. Upgrades 6.x might not be as easy, but I really don't forsee much of a problem there.

not working.

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.3 from the ISO's found at http://diff.cpanel.net/rh7.3/

The server was running 7.2, and now, since I clean installed 7.3, even though durring setup, I have it install KDE and GNOME, it wont load them when i use startx at the shell. It says

(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal Error:
no screens found

i tried 'switchdesk gnome' then startx.. still no luck.

did the iso's you upload not have a gui in them or something?

Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Problems ??

I installed RH 7.3 and cpanel. The WHM works fine. But when I go to view the control panel for an account I get:

Not Found

The server was not able to find the document (./frontend/default/index.html) you requested
Please check the url and try again. You might also want to report
this error to your webhost.


Any idea why this is? I checked and the files ARE there and the perms look exactly as they do on my other server.

Are you starting apache with startssl?

Edit: never mind, it happens to me too, I thought it was that, but it isn't...

Apache Failures in 7.3

The random apache files are caused by a bug in the psmisc package. The signal names in the killall binary in incorrect. Updating cPanel will install a new psmisc package that corrects the problem. The RedHat bugzilla id is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64683

Notes: This is not a bug in RedHat or cPanel, the package psmisc (psmisc.sourceforge.net) contains the incorrect signals in the current release version (20.2 as of this post). The psmisc author has been informed of the problem.

This problem should be non-existant after the next cpanel update or after running /scripts/sysup. This problem will also be fixed at install time on all new 7.3 installs. Don't let this information discourge you from using 7.3 as it has shown to be more stable all around.

What about the control panel failing to load? Any news on that? This is still not working. Also, the Apache web server keeps failing anyways... even after the system update.

I'll happily look at the server if you email me the root/ip ([email protected])

Thanks for the offer Nick! Actually, I got apache to run but not cpanel.

Here is what I did. I reinstalled cpanel on it. Now the apache server is not failing. That was easy (maybe harder than usual, but easy to fix).

My cpanel themes do not load though. Thing is that the way I do themes is to upload them to a user's directory (so it's easier to FTP) and then go to:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend and sym link to the admin's directory path to my theme.

ln -s /home/adminuser/mytheme mytheme

This works on all our servers except the RH 7.3 one. For some reason it doesn't like the fact that the theme is a sym link. I checked the perms and everything is cool. Exactly like other servers.

What should I look for?

Upgrade to 7.3

Hi,

I've got a plain install of 7.2. Cpanle not installed yet.

Are there any Howtos' on upgrading to 7.3?.

Is there an RPM of 7.3 that could be run, or does it have to be done another way (redhat network?.).

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

John
