Hello :)

Please use the following command to verify proper functionality of outbound DNS requests:

Code:
# host auth.cpanel.net
The output should be similar to this:

Code:
[~]# host auth.cpanel.net
auth.cpanel.net has address 208.74.121.86
auth.cpanel.net has address 208.74.123.34
auth.cpanel.net has address 208.74.125.19
auth.cpanel.net has address 208.74.121.85
Please ensure you are using valid resolvers in /etc/resolv.conf if you receive timeout warnings when using the above command.

If the issue persists, please submit a ticket with us so we can investigate this issue:

I'm getting a similar issue with

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

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

[20121117.004602] Checking license
[20121117.004606] E Blocker found: No license file found. Your cPanel software will not function properly. updates will be blocked until you fix this.
[20121117.004606] ***** FATAL: An attempt to up/downgrade to 11.32.5.13 was blocked. Please review blockers.
[20121117.004606] E Detected events which require user notification during updatenow. Will send iContact the log


However if I check I can't find any licence issues even if I run the licence check. I've done this for days with this email being sent to me with the above error but everything looks fine. Weird one

Remember that you have to ensure the IP addressed licensed for cPanel matches the IP address your server makes outgoing connections from. You can test this with a command such as:

Code:
lynx -dump http://www.cpanel.net/showip.cgi
Thank you.
