Hello,

I'm suffering from all kinds of serious problems right now on the server, apparently stemming from nothing.

WHM will NOT WORK.
mySQL/Email will NOT WORK.

I cannot access my server via root (it's not that the password is wrong, it just won't connect).

In cPanel, I get the following error:

CP-Wrap Critcal Error (signal 11 from wrapped program)! This may indicate a corrupt admin binary in /usr/local/cpanel/bin/ / unlimited

Your server needs admin job < 'nuff said >

Thing is, I've managed my server for 2 years now with no problem. This is a sudden error.

Everything is secure and NO UNNECESSARY PROCESSES WERE RUN TODAY.

So, there's no reason why this should be happening!

Get someone with a proven track record. I could be like tech lollu and say I will fix it but in fact I don't have a clue and would have to go to my admins.

Seems some sort of corrupted binary issue and that needs to be checked in the server. Not sure what causes this error but I can find out if you give me shell access.

chmod 755 /usr/bin/perl should fix the error.

If that doesn't run;

chmod u+rws /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cpwrap
/scripts/upcp --force

I can't get in to SSH and do that; it won't let me do that via WinSCP.

Login to the WHM and restart SSH service and make a try to login to the server. If not your IP will be listed in the /etc/hosts.deny.

As I said, WHM isn't working either.

You can't get in through either SSH, or WHM? Try telnet. Once you get it fixed though immediately change your root password.

Not sure how to use telnet...

This is a huge problem. I'm now timed out from WinSCP and none of the sites are working.

Through winscp execute this command,

/scripts/restartsrv ssh

I just said I'm logged out of that now :(

Now the only way is to contact the DC and reboot your server.

I have several times. They insisted a reboot would "make things worse."

Ask them to get into the server in single user mode and do manual FSCK. I think your filesystem may be got corrupted or may be a disk issue.

I have herd that one to many times. Your server is never 100% secure. There is always the chance it could be compromised. And judging from the post i am kind of leery of beliving it was "secure"

Yes I too agree with thelinuxguy.

The issue was that I never did anything to make it "easier" to get in.

So, any problem would be how it was initially given to me, meaning, the fault of no one.

Simply put, I know I'm not to blame for anything that happened.


Ok good! They responded and put it back up.

However, the earlier problems are not gone.....now they are.

Server security is an essential thing for running a hosting business. Frequent security audits are necessary to get the 99.99% uptime. There should be an awareness about this to all the hosting community people. I am not blaming you :)

What sort of thing could cause this kind of problem?

A server is NOT secure unless you secure it so therefore if you did not secure it then you did make it easier to get in.

Well, obviously i installed the basic security tools (firewall, rootkit, etc). But, I did nothing to expose the server to intruders.

And, the same problem happened again. I really am at a loss of what to do.

Can the DC get a terminal and see if the screen is covreed in hardware failure messages? Can you download /var/log/messages with winscp?
