Updatenow is unable to download.

[electric]

Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to upgrade from 11.42.0.22 to 11.42.0.23:

An error was detected which prevented updatenow from completing normally.
Please review the enclosed log for further details

I have no idea how to fix this. I tried pinging "httpupdate.cpanel.net" and it seems to be ok:

[email protected] [~]# ping httpupdate.cpanel.net

Thanks for any help!

Been happening to me all night...the downloads just hang.

Finally worked about 5 minutes ago.

It's just this one server that is not working. All my other servers are able to be updated with no problem.

The failure email I received says:

Running `/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenow --upcp --log=/var/cpanel/updatelogs/update.1395726002.log` failed, exited with code 12 (signal = 0)

??

 

[wswd]

No idea I'm afraid. I had this issue in the past where it would work on all our servers in one datacenter but not in another, but if all the other servers in the same datacenter are working except for the one, I haven't a clue.

I am having the same problem. There seems to be something wrong. Otherwise we wouldn't all be having the problem at the same time...

I also can not use phpmyadmin. After a long time of loading it shows a blank page. In MySQL I can not see any activity from phpmyadmin. Maybe this is related.

See if this reply by cPanelJared sorts things for you:

HTH!

To those of you that can not get a connection to Cpanel's download servers: Are you in the BurstNET datacenter?

They seem to be restricting traffic somehow since they are migrating datacenters. This is the second physical datacenter migration within 7 months. They must be in SERIOUS trouble.

To those of you that can not get a connection to Cpanel's download servers: Are you in the BurstNET datacenter?

Yes, this is a server in the Miami BurstNET datacenter.

 

[driverC]

Yes, this is a server in the Miami BurstNET datacenter.

Seems like they are in serious trouble. According to a thread on WHT they are in debt and have not paid several bills. They have had an eviction notice and are now shutting down their "flagship DC" in Dunmore:

The reason for the failing connections has to do with the tunneling (same IP address working in two different datacenters) because they are transporting servers. There is a command that would allow you to connect to Cpanel again but I guess we can just wait until the transfer is complete.

I for one am glad to be having a remote backup and will be starting to move stuff to another company immediately.

We're using them to host one of our nameservers, which has an IP that is used by about 100 of our resellers for their custom nameservers.

Switching to a different provider would be a nightmare, since all our resellers would need to re-register their custom nameserver with a new IP.

I was not aware the Miami datacenter was affected by their datacenter moves. I thought it was only their other datacenters?

yes! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

This command worked for me to fix the problem:

ip link set dev venet0 mtu 1400

(Replace "venet0" with your NIC interface. I am using a VPS, so it's virtual...)

In our case, the problem was with "/etc/redhat-release" file.
The file was empty.

Manually added the release info in the file which fixed the issue with cpanel update.
