Today I have been struggeling with cPanel. I did install an Centos 7 server with cPanel WHM on it. I followed the instructions from tecmint and it was pretty straight forward! I have to admit, that was my thought all the way until I rebooted the server with an software update.
At firdst I didn’t know what happened. I thought it was a firewall issue etc. But I couldn’t find any issues. When I finally started to check the server more closely I discovereed when running ifconfig that there where no network card configured with the correct IP. I then moved further and tried to restarting the network service with the command:
systemctl restart network.serviceWhen doing this I got an error message :
Job for network.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status network.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
Checking “systemctl status network.service” gave me the following error message:
Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking.
This led me out on a desperate google search that lasted for a couple of hours. I found alot of articles that could be helpful but none that helped me. Or I did, in the end but it still felt like forever. I had read something similear to the solution below on my google searches. But those articles only said I needed to touch the network file (just create an empty file). But according to the forum post below I needed to add the commands below to /etc/sysconfig/network file.
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXXXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX represent the IP of the gateway for the CentOS server. When the file is edited I did a reboot and it all worked again! 🙂 I tried to restart the network.service but for some reason I had to do a complete reboot for it to work.
