Numerous nightly warnings and failures
Each night around the same time I receive 5-6 warning emails from my server. I am guessing that some of them are technically normal and are probably a part of the nightly maintenance tasks but want to check to make sure.
Each night I see that mysql and cphulkd fail at the same time then I get the recovered email a few minutes later. Just prior to these emails I get a Partial DNS resolver failure and The system detected an invalid hostname configuration. On the partial DNS one only the IPv6 addresses are failing with lines like this in the email:
2606:4700:4700::1111 | amazon.com |
timeout |
. The IPv4 lines are fine. We do not have any IPv6 addresses set up on this server.
In regard to the hostname configuration thing though I don't know what the deal is. The hostname is set correctly, and I have even gone in and used the Hostname widget in WHM to reset it yet I still get this error almost every night.
At the same time I receive the DNS error I also receive an update failure in upcp script email. The output of which is below:

You shouldn't receive 5-6 warning emails daily, that's not normal.Can you change the hostname from WHM to a different one then reboot the server? Once done change it back to the original one. I hope that will sort this out.
