Unable to login to WHM 500 Internal Error

Kieko89
Hi, Their was an update that happened a few weeks ago and since then, I'm unable to login to WHM whatsoever. It just happened out of the blue. The error message I get is below:
Internal Server Error 500 The cPanel Server operation timed out at cpsrvd.pl line 531.
I have searched this issue for over a week now and none of the posted information on this forum nor elsewhere had helped. I have attempted to run the update command via terminal and it just hangs
# /scripts/upcp --force
The update hangs with the following output:
=> Log opened from /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenow (4269) at Sun May 14 17:49:06 2017 [2017-05-14 17:49:06 -0400] Detected version '11.62.0.17' from version file.

It can keep going for several days without any luck. I had checked the error log at # nano /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log and this is what I have:

The above sample is just some of the error log for today and if needed I can provide more. I'm just not sure as what is the problem at this point and really need some guidance as I've checked everything without finding a solution. This is what I got in my /etc/resolv.conf file:
; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script search website.tld nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4
Please do let me know if anything else is needed. Thank you

    Hello, When I use the cPanel app for iOS. I'm able to add the website and when attempting to login to whm via app I get a message stating the following Invalid License File To access the interface, you must install the license and ensure that the license is active.
    Thing is when I run the command to update the license via ssh and it just hangs. I'm still not able to ping Also this is what I get when attempting to login via cPanel app to cPanel: License is not for this host To access the interface, you must install the license and ensure that the license is active.

    Hi, There could be number of reasons for this and hard to just verbally discuss. Can you check if the disk space and inodes are free? Regarding the update error, " httpupdate.cpanel.net could not be resolved to an IP adddress. Please check your /etc/resolv.conf file. " --> Execute the below command and verify it is reachable: # ping httpupdate.cpanel.net

    I have attempted to ping httpupdate.cpanel.net and got the below message: ping: httpupdate.cpanel.net: Name or service not known
    Can the firewall be causing an issue? Also is their a way to refresh an install without loosing data?

    Hello, When you see errors like this from WHM, it can be caused by myriad reasons. Can you create a ticket so that the server can be investigated directly at tickets.cpanel.net. After that, you can report the ticket number back here for reference.

    Did you try to Flush firewall and check or even try to stop iptable to check you are able to ping cpanel.

    Hello, Thank you for the update, I have created a support ticket and here is the ref number: 8489003. At @webhostuk, I have followed a tutorial in regards to doing that and even then I was not able to ping. I even disabled the firewall as well and flushed the iptable. Now even the dns servers do not load, this had happened before, it was due to a license and the hostname changing as well as the resolv ips default to ns1 and ns2 every update and reboot but this time I've not gotten successful.

    Hello guys, I would like to update this thread. I was able to resolve the issue when I had spoken with the support specialists and the issue was resolved by going over the ports that were needed to be opened so that WHM/Cpanel can communicate and after doing that. The system was able to communicate right away!.
