running upcp or easyapache is taking ages

I know both /scripts/easyapache and /scripts/upcp are both time-consuming tasks. However, if you feel you have a slow mirror, feel welcome to let our technical analysts look into that for you: http://tickets.cPanel.net/submit

 

I'm having a similar issue with EasyApache

On Saturday I tried to use EasyApache and the page is just not loading the way it usually does, it just has this text:

Checking for updates...

Making sure we have the latest files...

Which usually goes away in a couple of seconds but isn't anymore. WHM also shows EasyApache as running after I go to the EasyApache page:
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/easyapache.pl

But the above process never finishes it just stays there (this is after checking a day later). Running /scripts/easyapache from the command line seems to work alright if EasyApache isn't already running, but this does seem to be a more recent issue (and I'm using the STABLE branch).

This never happened before and I hardly ever go into WHM to perform admin tasks, and the server is hardly stressed at all so I am a bit confused as to why it started (except for a cPanel/WHM update that may have changed things).

 

I noticed within the last week that on both of our servers, EasyApache takes going on 20 minutes to get past "Checking for updates... Making sure we have the latest files..." and is very, very slow throughout the rest of the process. This has generally always been fairly quick until lately.

 

Mine works fine so far, you should open a ticket just to make sure. Good luck.

 

How much RAM are you alotted on your server? With 256 megs I was struggling to run EasyApache through WHM, and was getting stuck at the same spot as you. I did manage to successfully run EasyApache through ssh though (/scripts/easyapache).

 

EasyApache appears to have started working again as per usual; after about a week of slowing to a crawl. To answer your question though, we have a cluster of dedicated servers; none of which have under 8GB of RAM.
