Install on Rocky Linux 9.1 / 9.2

[cortecerto]

Hello.

Is there a command to install the CPanel (even on Edge version) on a PC with Rocky Linux 9.1 / 9.2? Because AWS only have those versions available to EC2.

I'm trying to use the following command on a 9.1 version, and it gives me the "cPanel, L.L.C. does not support rockylinux for new installations." error:

cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest --experimental-os=rockylinux-9.1

PS: Before exec the last command, I've already inserted the command to install the Edge version: echo "CPANEL=edge" > /etc/cpupdate.conf

Hey there! I would expect updating the tier to either Current or Edge would allow the installation to complete, so I really can't say why that isn't working. Can you try that command again with the "--experimental-os=rockylinux-9.1" portion removed?

Hey there!
I've tried without that and it's the same error.
I'll attach some pictures.

Thanks for the additional details - it seems the installer doesn't like the

ID="rocky"

portion of the OS data and is failing to properly detect that this is a supported operating system. I've created case CPANEL-42882 for our team to work on this, and I'll update this thread once I hear back from them with more details.

Thanks for the help. I'll wait for the update for this.

Could you run these two commands and let me know the results? At this point, I'm not able to reproduce on a test machine, so getting the results directly from your server would be helpful:

perl -e 'print "$^O\n";'
perl -e 'use POSIX; my @uname = POSIX::uname(); print "$uname[4]\n";'

Hello.

Here are the results.

perl -e 'print "$^O\n";'

linux

perl -e 'use POSIX; my @uname = POSIX::uname(); print "$uname[4]\n";'

x86_64

Thanks, I'll let the team know!

Could you send us the contents of /etc/redhat-release as well?

 cat /etc/redhat-release

 

[cortecerto]

Hello.

cat /etc/redhat-release

Rocky Linux release 9.1 (Blue Onyx)

Can you run this command and then try the installation again?

rm -rf /var/cpanel/caches

Can you run this command and then try the installation again?

rm -rf /var/cpanel/caches

It installed without a problem with the following command:
cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest

Now I'm configuring CPanel.

Thanks for your help.

I'm glad to hear that is working now! The "bug" in this case was the original run where you added the "--experimental-os=rockylinux-9.1" portion to the installation command, which created a specific cache file the installer was looking for. I believe the plan is to update the documentation to remove that portion of the command as it should not be necessary when using the cpupdate.conf file.
