Question

How can I specify a custom cPanel update mirror?

Answer

cPanel update mirrors control how cPanel retrieves the managed files for updates. You can specify a custom mirror or define a mirror individually in a configuration file.

1. Identify a list of mirrors available with the command:

   # host httpupdate.cpanel.net

2. Edit or create file /etc/cpsources.conf with the following contents:

   CONFIG_TEXT: HTTPUPDATE=$IP

   Note: Replace $IP with a desired IP from the first command.

3. Run the update command to retrieve updates from the custom defined mirror:

   # /scripts/upcp
