Hello,
I work for a university that set up a CPanel box a while ago for professors and staff to use for various projects, but has largely left it alone. The result is a way out of date version of CPanel that I would like to upgrade.
It is currently running WHM 10.0.0 and CPanel 10.0.0 -r85 and Redhat 9.
My question is, what problems have people run into when clicking the upgrade button that we should be prepared for? We have a test box running RHEL 3 and the latest versions of whm/cpanel (installed from scratch a few weeks ago) and when I clicked update, by examinging the log I figure it does the following things:
1. Updates /scripts...
2. Checks various apps:
- PHP
- FTP
- Exim (maildir)
- MySQL
- bandmin
- courier-authlib
- courier-imap
- portsentry
3. runs Redhat up2date
4. Updates CPAN Perl Modules
5. Updates CPANEL
- Updates every installed "addon"
Other than general tips - I have a few specific questions. The Fedora legacy project keeps a much better repository of updates for Redhat 9, if I were to install yum and point it to the Fedora legacy project, would Cpanel know to use it?
My second question is about apache - in what phase of the update process is apache updated, if at all?
Thank you in advance for your help and expertise,
- Geddes
