Upgrade Cpanel to Latest Version

[blweb]

I am using Centos 3.4 and I set the update to CURRENT

When I click on that Link in the WHM, it sits at 0% for forever, it never does anything.


I am also having a problem with exim which I hope the upate fixes.
Exim processes seem to get stuck and use 100% cpu from time to time and I must restart Exim to get rid of them.


Someone please help

use

/scripts/upcp in ssh

if you think you may have a an update that did not complete
/scripts/upcp --force

and make sure you have no errors? Have you configured Yum?

if you have errors they will show when updating

 

[blweb]

I tried script in ssh and it hangs instantly, I left it for obver 30 mins and it didnt do a thing.

ctrl-c made it say this

Found hostname to be www.blwebsolutions.com, which resolves to 38.119.84.240

then it hangs again


then I had to hit ctrl-c like 4 more times, then the rest of the script finished fine

I would fix your hostname first



It is important to choose a hostname that you will not be using for any account. You should choose something that will be socially accpetable, as it will appear in all mail headers. Your hostname must be a FQDN. In english, A hostname should consist of a name and a domain name. All valid hostnames should have 2 dots in them. Hostnames should never begin with "www".

Fixed hostname and will try again. WIll keep you uodated.

Well, your problem has nothing to do with the previous thread posts. That said, it's apparent that domain names aren't resolving on the server.

You should check that whichever nameservers that you have listed in /etc/resolv.conf are actually up and running and answering queries.
