Hey y'all.
Long-winded explanation here. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I decided today that I'd update cPanel. I've never had a problem doing that, but today, the thing locked up in the middle of the update. I'm running a dedicated server with CentOS 4.4, with 1GB RAM. I have ~650MB free, ~60KB used on the swap partition, so I highly doubt it's a memory issue, but the ISP sysadmin told me there was an "out of memory" error, caused by an HTTP process, on the screen when he rebooted. Strange.
Here's how I got to where I am:
So, any ideas on how I can get upcp working again? (It's never given me problems till now.) I read somewhere to just leave it running, but I don't see how that would solve anything considering the memory consumption effects.
I don't have any customizations except for exim.conf and antivirus.exim. Fairly standard install. I did manually upgrade PHP to 4.4.6 and MySQL to the latest 4.1.x version. I wish I could tell you what version of cPanel I was running. It was probably about 6 months old.
I did file a ticket with my ISP (since I got my license through them). Turns out they charge -- reasonably, but still... I'm wondering if there's a quick solution.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this...

Here's how I got to where I am:
- I ran "/scripts/upcp --force" via SSH
- It got to the part where it said
Code:cPanel Layer 2 Update Commencing ==> Running post install scripts....sync ........
- After several minutes, all my services, including SSH, stopped working, for over an hour.
- I had to get my ISP to reboot my server. All the daemons came up fine, except for cPanel's.
- cPanel now does not run at all, and it looks like a lot of files are missing.
- When I tried to start cpsrvd manually, it said there were things missing.
First it was "Lchown.so", fixed that by making a symbolic link.
Then it was "vxs.so", so I made a symbolic link to the "version" directory under the Perl installation.
Now the error message I get is: "BSD::Resource object version 1.25 does not match $BSD::Resource::VERSION 1.28." which I can't figure out how to solve. - Extreme frustration ensued.
So, any ideas on how I can get upcp working again? (It's never given me problems till now.) I read somewhere to just leave it running, but I don't see how that would solve anything considering the memory consumption effects.
