I ran into one small problem updating to CloudLinux I thought I might post here in case someone else runs into the same issue and looks for a way past it.

From Easy Apache build Error Summary:

-------------

!! ensure() rc was '0', exit status was '256', perl '$?' was '0', exit sig '0', core dump: '0', shell '$?' was '1' !!

This is the command that failed:

Since EasyApache was unable to resolve it automatically you should:
1) Manually run the failed YUM command (shown above) via SSH
2) See if your particular error is addressed at EaError < AllDocumentation < TWiki
3) Resolve the YUM problem manually
4) Re-run EasyApache

Earlier in the build log I see this:

Code:

I couldn't find anything on openssl issues at that link mentioned in the error, but I did find this post from last year on the forums related to openssl issues on CentOS:

Re: OpenSSL (Yum) update error as seen in nightly cron email

Which suggested running these two commands to sort out the CentOS repository mixup:

rpm -e --justdb --nodeps openssl.i386
yum install openssl

This solved the issue I was having, Easy Apache was then able to finished as expected.
