/scripts/upcp and force produces an error

[HostUpon]

Hi,

I simply ran /scripts/upcp and got the following:

[email protected] [~]# /scripts/upcp
/scripts/upcp syntax OK
Running Futex Check/Fix......Done
Undefined subroutine &Cpanel::Update::automatic_updates_enabled called at /scripts/upcp line 273.

This is a new vps setup with nothing really done yet.

Anyone have an idea on what this could be related to?

thanks
Al

Hello,

Please try the following (from cPanel team)

wget -O /root/updatenow.static http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/RELEASE/scripts/updatenow.static && perl /root/updatenow.static --manual

I then ran /scripts/upcp --force, it should work now.

Thank you the above resolved the issue.

Hello,

Should I try this solution in a server with accounts? Is there any risk for a not new server?

Thank you,

There is no risk in doing this on a live server. The reason for the issue is that the location of certain cPanel Perl modules was changed, and /scripts/upcp is written to look for them in the old location. The commands listed download a new updatenow.static, which updates other scripts such as upcp, so the Perl modules are loaded from the correct locations.

Thank you Jared!! It works!

Thanks Jared!

I just had a new client purchase a dedicated server and it had an older version of cPanel running (11.21), which I guess is because the datacenter just images it using a script, but I ran into the same error as everyone else above.

Fixing the perl modules to load from the correct location fixed the issue and I was able to get it to run upcp --force wihtout a hitch -- it's updating as we speak. =0)

Thanks!
