Hello

Per the support ticket, the issue was addressed by using a default instance of the /etc/sysconfig/named file.

Thank you.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for reply but no it didn't solved my problem. Cpanel install still freezes at same point. No idea whats going on.

 

[venomdog]

My VPS provider suggested for migrating to new node, migration has started lets see if it solves the issue.

Thanks again.

 

[venomdog]

And it works on new node .
