waiting for cpanelsync to finish

[chirpy]

This appears to be a significant problem:

Installing...1......x1...2......mkdir: cannot create directory `/scripts': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/scripts': Permission denied

Is there also any particular reason that you're using RH9 since it is no longer supported and a security vulnerability unless you're going to upgrade all apps youself?

Either way, if you cannot fix the directory creation problem, then you should log a support ticket with cPanel if you purchase the license through them, or whoever you did purchase it through.

Make sure that you are running the installer as 'root'.

Do u know how i can allow the insatller to make the directories required? cause for some reason it keeps comming back saying permission denied? And Also when i go in the /home diretory andi am tryign to make a new folder i cant.... do u guys know of ne way i can disable this? please help me!!

 

[chirpy]

As Ben has said, are you logged in as root? If so, is the / root partition mounted writable (it obviously should be). If it is there's no reason (beyond a corrupt file system or the wrong permissions on /) that you shouldn't be able to create a simple directory.

Ok i have logged in as root and then started installation it creates the directories now and seems to work fine until it says

 installing...1...x1....2..................x2..............3................4...........x4...........5..........x5......

after x5 it just keeps showing dots and doesnt go anywhere from there..... How would i fix this issue? please help me.

Don't panic (in big friendly letters). That's normal. The dots indicate progress. During this stage Apache is being built, Perl modules downloaded and installed and various other things are happening. You can view what's happening by tailing (with the -f flag) /var/log/cpanel-installthread0.log and /var/log/cpanel-installthread1.log to actually see what's going on.

its been over an hour and all i still see is dots i have also checked the log files and nothign has been changed.. still the same.. should i keep waiting? or is there soemthing else wrong?

 

[movielad]

What's happening process wise (do a top, or alternatively ps -ef)? What's the load on the machine like? What spec is the machine?

[chirpy]

If it goes on for more than a couple of hours and things appear to be hanging, then you may have a slow mirror and would be better off restarting the process if you've confirmed that nothing is actually being processed (e.g. run strace against the processing PID).
