Issues accessing whm/cpanel web interface

I seem to have lost access to the web interface to whm/cpanel. I get a network connection error in the browser. I am able to ssh to the machine. One of the forum threads suggested trying to restart cpanel but I got the following error. # service cpanel restart Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart cpanel.service Job for cpanel.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status cpanel.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
And systemctl status returned the following # systemctl status cpanel.service ? cpanel.service - cPanel services Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/cpanel.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Sat 2019-11-16 08:34:55 GMT; 15s ago Process: 8326 ExecStop=/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd --no-verbose --stop --notconfigured-ok --systemd-service=cpanel (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 4664 ExecStart=/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd --no-verbose --notconfigured-ok --systemd-service=cpanel (code=killed, signal=TERM) Main PID: 2751 (code=exited, status=255) CGroup: /system.slice/cpanel.service ??11795 tail -f uplearn.co.uk-ssl_log ??18565 tail -f uplearn_co_uk.php.error.log ??25515 tail -f uplearn.co.uk-ssl_log Nov 16 08:34:49 v1-up-learn restartsrv_cpsrvd[4664]: /usr/local/cpanel/libexec/cpsrvd-dormant: Waiting to bind to.......

Netstat showed that the ports 2087 and 2083 are not open and being listened on, which aligns well with the network connection error I saw from the browser. I was hesitant trying much else as the websites from user accounts are all running okay right now. Any suggestions on what else I could try so as to understand what has happened and recover?
