UPCP acting weird.

[damainman]

Okay i just tried to update my cpanel to the latest release using /scripts/upcp. Everything seemed to good, but as a habbit i always run /scripts/upcp right after i update to make sure everything was updated properly.

Now i'm seeing something weird that i never seen happen before. When i run /scripts/upcp after the update i get messages saying CP is fetching files:

Sync Source: http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/RELEASE/scripts
Fetching http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/RELEASE/scripts/.cpanelsync.lock....Trying httpupdate.cpanel.net @ 69.72.164.151
100%......Done

Fetching http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/RELEASE/scripts/cPanelPerl.pm.bz2....100%......Done
Got file ./cPanelPerl.pm ok (md5 matches)

Now I found that strange so i ran /scripts/upcp again.. and instead of saying it was fetching those files.. it said:

receiving file list ... done
./
DIp.pm
bsdldconfig
cPanelBSDPKGS.pm
cPanelPerl.pm

upcp
wrote 1716 bytes read 24491 bytes 17471.33 bytes/sec
total size is 2251618 speedup is 85.92

Now if i run upcp again, i get the fetching file messages. If i run upcp again after that the i receive the fetching file list again, such as in the second quote. It's like a loop.

Is this normal, or is something not installing properly?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

What version of cpanel are you running?

 

[damainman]

Just updated to: WHM 9.9.9 cPanel 9.9.9-R70 , from the last Stable.

Yeah, something's weirding out.

Release now uses the httpupdate method you see, and STABLE still uses rsync - for whatever reason upcp (or something else) is removing the indicator file that says it should use httpupdate, and then when you next run is replacing it again.

I presume every time you run it it downloads something at present?

[damainman]

Can someone from cpanel advise on this?

 

[sv1]

What I did was switched back to CURRENT build and ran all updates via WHM and restarted cpsrvd from shell and everything works fine now.

Thank you for your suggestion sv1, but i think we are having diffferent issues. I read your post, and I'm not receiving all those errors you were receiving.

The only problems i'm encountering is what i posted above.

Thank you for the help though

Okay, just updated to the latest release. The issue i was having above went away, however I needed to run /scripts/upcp 3 times, because each time it grabbed new files. Then it stopped, so i guess it finally updated everything. However shouldn't it update everything the first time, instead of me having to run /scripts/upcp 3 times to get all the files?
