cpanel VPS license expired

[berbilfruit]

Help, it seems my cpanel license has expired! Ticket has gone into support....

[eUKhost.com]

did you try to run following script :-

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

?

This script should fix license error.

To update cpanel license please go
through below steps :1> Goto /usr/local/cpanel ->

cd /usr/local/cpanel

2> Execute the cpkeyclt file therein ->

./cpkeyclt

The cpanel license gets updated immediately and then you can try to login to your cpanel and the error gets disappeared.

Guys, seems this cpanel license issue is different than normal one. We have already stopped the firewall and executed the commands, but still it not working. cPanel engineers are checking this one.

Hope that the cPanel license problem was able to be solved!

[eUK-Scott]

Yeah. It is already solved by cPanel engineers.

It has come to our attention that /dev/urandom is created as a regular file on certain Operating Systems when using Virtuozzo / OpenVZ. This can cause any services that require random number generation (such as our [cPanel] licensing system) to fail.

To fix the issue, /dev/urandom should be regenerated by running the following commands as root:

rm -f /dev/urandom
mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

You can test for this condition by executing:

file /dev/urandom

The condition likely exists if you do not receive the following response:

/dev/urandom: character special (1/9)

We are currently seeing the CentOS 4.5 affected by this issue
