Updating WHM/cPanel to latest version from the command line

Posted:  May 14th, 2016

 

Occasionally, WHM or cPanel might experience errors that can only be resolved by updating the software. To update the software from the command line, start by logging into your server by SSH as root.

 

Once connected, run the following command:

 

    /scripts/upcp

 

This will only update your WHM installation. Your data will not be affected. If your WHM installation is already up-to-date, you can still force an update; this will essentially cause WHM to be re-installed while keeping all your configurations. Simply run the following command:

 

    /scripts/upcp --force

 

Again, your data will not be modified by the update.

 

If your problem still has not been resolved, KEKhost/KEKhosting recommends that you contact technical support. To contact technical support, visit our Opening a Technical Ticket page.
