http://forums.cpanel.net – I'm thinking of getting an additional WHM/Cpanel license for a freshly installed CentOS 6.3 server but it isn't a minimal install base so looking to make sure I have all the requirements before install of WHM/Cpanel. I have a question regarding Perl support requirements for installing WHM/Cpanel. From WHM install docs it suggests to exclude following packages from yum update at /etc/yum.conf Code: Exclude= apache* bind-chroot courier* dovecot* exim* httpd* mod_ssl* mysql* nsd* perl* php* proftpd* pure-ftpd* spamassassin* squirrelmail* From that exclusion list only mysql-libs and p (HowTos)

Stories similar to WHM install Perl support ?

I am trying to setup my first cPanel install on a CentOS 6.3 Hyper-V virtual server, and trying to follow best practice during the install.

When installing CentOS 6.3, I selected the minimal install in the setup wizard (using the standard DVD ISO not the minimal ISO version).

Hello everyone!

I have one little problem and question about that (hope so that I'm not missed the topic).

I try to install Perl module Video::FFmpeg but I can't.

When I asked administrators of hosting why, they told me that is Perl module requires 5.10+, and unfortunately cPanel requires perl 5.8.8.

During my Nconf install I get

Requirements

PHP 5.0 (or higher) -> 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 OK MySQL 5.0.2 (or higher) -> 5.5.24 OK PHP-MySQL support OK Perl 5.6 (or higher) -> FAILED

But when I check perl -v This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 2 (v5.14.2) built for i686-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum, also I don't know much about the Cpanel Installation and configuration.

I'm installing cpanel on one of our client VPS server ( Cent OS 6 64 bit ), Earlier there was Plesk panel on the server. And there was some issue on the server configuration, we rebuilt the server and now we are installing the cpanel on our server.

Hey all,

I'm sure it's on here somewhere and my Google Skills must be lacking :( but I was just curious when cPanel will have at least 5.10 server perl and/or when cpanel's internal perl will be upgraded.

Thanks!

I have a CentOS 6.3 server with cPanel.

Perl Shel 45 weeks 23 hours ago

Hello there,

I have a security question.

All we disable some dangerous function in PHP ti avoid running of PHP shells. As cPanel uses perl for all its tasks and al of PHP's dangeros functions have equivalents in perl, so someone can easily port a pho shell to perl and simply run it on the server. Disabling any function in perl will result in cPanel's many parts to stop working.
