    Logs you provided is no clear. Can you provide me little bit information about your server. Like which version of apache, Mysql and PHP you are using. Also, if cpanel/WHM update is failing then login to WHM and at top right side you will get cpanel update failure error message. It will guide you to the exact error why it is not updating.

    Your cPanel & WHM installation is pinned to version 11.36. We haven't supported 11.36 in more than a year. I recommend you: 1. You log into WHM as root 2. Click Update Preferences 3. Click the RELEASE tier 4. Save Once that is done run upcp to upgrade. Update: doing the above will upgrade your install to 11.48. Prepare for a lot of new features :)

    My Update Preferences were already set to Release. How do I connect to SSH? I have been trying to do this for awhile and still don't know how. I have Putty. Is there an alternate way? I tried the "Update Server Software" and it is still at WHM 11.34.2 (build 8)

    Hello, The following document should help you get started with SSH/Shell access:

    Thank you! I am already stuck at step 7 when I login as root. It is saying "Access Denied." If this helps, it is saying "Using keyboard-interactive authentication". Any ideas?

    ok, so I tried following the second set of instructions to login with a public key also and still no luck. It is saying this: Server refused public-key signature despite accepting key!

    Hello, Is the "WHM Home "Security Center " SSH Password Authorization Tweak" option enabled in WHM? If so, you may want to temporarily disable it so you can try to authenticate with the root password. Also, have you made changes to your SSH configuration in the past? If not, I suggest contacting your hosting provider or data center for assistance with accessing your server over SSH. Thank you.

    Yes, it was enabled. I tried disabling it also and still having problems. As far as SSH configuration changes, I have been importing and deleting keys to try many different variations of tests to connect. This is a dedicated server and the provider says they only provide support for hardware. Is there any way the cpanel folks can see if they can connect via SSH if I give them the WHM login? I am really running out of options here.

    You can try resetting your SSH configuration from Web Host Manager with the following URL:
    https://IP:2087/cpsess12345678/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart
    You would replace "IP" with the server's IP address and the session number with what's displayed in your address bar. Note that this is simply a temporary instance of SSH. You will have to login and modify the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file when you have temporary SSH access to ensure it's running properly from that point on. Thank you.

    You rock! That did it. For some reason, it said that port 22 was already in use and configuring sshd to run on port 23. Got right in after that. Then I removed the rogue file by typing: rpm -e mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386 Ran the upgrade and it finally worked! Thank you so much

    You should be concerned about this. Figure out what's listening on port 22

    It's actually normal for this to happen when running the SSH autofixer. It detects that SSH is already running on port 22, so it starts the new temporary instance on port 23. Restarting the SSH service after making the changes will stop the temporary instance. Thank you.
