Hello, I have cPanel&WHM version 72.0.11. I have deleted accidentally everything under /tmp. We have another cPanel on other machine and I see that in that directory there are: drwxrwxrwt. 26 root root 4096 Sep 14 14:10 . dr-xr-xr-x. 20 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .. drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 09:46 5577.XML_API___GET_UPDATE_AVAILABILITY__.2d52f8a2.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 09:46 5579._API___GET_CURRENT_LTS_EXPIRATION_STATUS__.c47b025c.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 09:46 5736.XML_API___GET_UPDATE_AVAILABILITY__.1613af01.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 09:46 5797.XML_API___GET_UPDATE_AVAILABILITY__.0ee974e1.tmp drwxr-xr-x 2 abrt abrt 4096 Aug 16 18:31 abrt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 45056 Jun 14 09:47 Agent-RedHat_EL7-10.0.0-2856.x86_64 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .font-unix drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 20 13:24 .gxsetup drwxr-xr-x. 2 cpanelsolr cpanelsolr 4096 Aug 23 10:28 hsperfdata_cpanelsolr drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:27 hsperfdata_root drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .ICE-unix drwxr-xr-x 2 cpanelsolr cpanelsolr 4096 Aug 23 10:28 jetty-127.0.0.1-8984-webapp-_solr-any-5460422071335892376.dir drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jul 13 13:37 locks drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 21 15:46 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73 Aug 16 18:31 lua_5VN800 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Sep 14 14:10 mysql.sock -> ../../var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jun 11 14:01 spamd-5991-init -rw------- 1 cpanelsolr cpanelsolr 165 Aug 23 10:28 start_2363584886905542465.properties drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 systemd-private-498ec864aba84a1386677fd745b360c5-cups.service-H5niYL drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 systemd-private-498ec864aba84a1386677fd745b360c5-cups.service-QWTyvU drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 systemd-private-498ec864aba84a1386677fd745b360c5-named.service-bMuAya drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 systemd-private-498ec864aba84a1386677fd745b360c5-named.service-gJmHrn drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .Test-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .X11-unix drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 10:28 .XIM-unix Is there anything important for normal working of cPanel? In backup files I do not see that files under /tmp are backuped in system files? Best regards, Elizabeta

  Hello @Elizabeta, The only essential file you should recreate is the MySQL socket symbolic link. To do so, run the following file: ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
  The OS and/or cPanel & WHM should regenerate any other required files in /tmp as needed.

  I have cPanel&WHM version 72.0.11

  
  As a reminder, cPanel & WHM version 72 is now at end-of-life status: Thank you.

  Hello Michael, Thank you very much for your answer. I did not delete everything under /tmp I have a sym link [root@cptest tmp]# ls -la mysql.sock lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Ruj 17 12:20 mysql.sock -> ../../var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Also, I have a plan to upgrade cPanel to 74.0.6 stable version. Best regards, Elizabeta

  Hello @Elizabeta, If that symbolic link exists, then you should be all set. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.
