Recently, I started getting an email every single day from cPanel telling me the following:
The cPanel & WHM update process failed for the following reason:
Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). The following events were logged: “scripts/rpmup”. Review the update logs to determine why the update failed.
I’d been ignoring the emails for a little while, but they started getting on my nerves & so today, I finally decided to take a look into it.
To begin with, I attempted to run the /scripts/upcp function manually via SSH to see what was happening.
It appeared that the function was having an issue with the RPMs, so I ran the/scripts/rpmup command next.
That command outlined that it seemed to be getting stuck on ffmpeg… But, what now?
Well… I ran the following 3 commands:
yum-complete-transaction
yum clean all
yum update
Then once again ran /scripts/upcp
And touch wood, the problem seems to have gone. The process ran error free right to the end… So I’ll see how it goes from here 🙂
Fingers crossed that’s the pesky email gone.
