/scripts/upcp

[airoid]

Each night during the nightly cron, cPanel Update (upcp) gets stuck and the process never completes. The next night during the nightly cron, I receive the following error:

cPanel Update (upcp) is already running. Please wait for the previous upcp to complete, or kill off all upcp processes and try again. You may wish to use '--force' at /scripts/upcp line 47.

I do a ps aux, find the cPanel update process and then kill it. At this time I can run /scripts/upcp, but it stops and does nothing after the following:

root@host [~]# /scripts/upcp
Updating /scripts ...

Done updating /scripts
rdate: rdate: could not set system time: Operation not permitted
Found hostname to be {HOST NAME}, which resolves to {IP ADDRESS}
Hostname Virtual Host is already setup

That's all it does, and then I have to kill the process and start again with the same result. Any ideas?

Hey,

I always use

/scripts/upcp --force

and never had any problems. But not sure if --force makes a difference.

I gave that a try, but --force still gives the same error.

does yum work ok on your system, as I think that is the next step after the bit you pasted, try: yum update

if that doesnt work, theres your problem

Any chance this happened right after you upgraded to R76 (the most current RELEASE version of cPanel)? I just upgraded today, and now upcp is "stuck" for me too.
