Are you receiving any other error when you run "yum update" than you've provided? Also, is there any error in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log (if the installation is going far enough to create that log file).

I do see a recent ticket around the time of your forum post (2410458) that shows these errors when running "yum update" and with the same failure message for cPanel installation:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/addons/i386/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/addons/i386/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2 from addons: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

You might need to check your firewall is shut off and that /etc/resolv.conf file contains public resolvers (such as 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 or 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8) so that the CentOS mirrors are functioning to connect to them from your machine if the above is indeed your ticket and/or the issue you are having.

There is no log file in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/

When i run yum update this is what i get

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin, security

Here is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf

Please change to the following:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Comment out the other entries. Also, was the ticket I referenced your ticket or was it not your ticket?

 

[aiden_g_1234]

OK changed them

But it still doesnt work still the same error


Nah it wasnt my ticket.

 

[cPanelTristan]

Please submit a ticket then for us to investigate. You can either use WHM > Support Center > Contact cPanel or you can use the link in my signature.

Thanks!

I cant do a support ticket i need the Support access ID but cannot get it

 

[cPanelTristan]

The support access ID should show up when you go to WHM > Support Center though? I see it there in my machine.

 

[aiden_g_1234]

Where?

Im not seeing WHM

 

[cPanelTristan]

Ah, sorry, you aren't able to install cPanel so no WHM is available. Try to open the ticket without the support access ID by using the link. At the worst, it will end up in the wrong queue. You should still be able to create a ticket. Otherwise, send it to [email protected] and ask if they can forward it to the right department (and ensure to ensure the server's IP and password login credentials).
