This is a common bug on cPanel 11 systems, where you do an account listing through Webhost manager or try to set a user’s quota and everyone is showing as using 0mb out of unlimited. The most common fix for this is to run:
/scripts/fixquotas
This will re-initialize the quota system and usually fix the error.
On VPS servers running Virtuozzo, a kernel bug in earlier versions of CentOS and Redhat have been attributed to this error (and similar errors) as well.
When trying to change their password in cPanel, users get the following error:
There was an error manipulating the password file.
This generally means you entered your old password incorrectly.
This has been seen on CentOS and Redhat servers running cPanel 11. The known fix is to run:
chmod +s /usr/bin/passwd
When running a cPanel update on a branded server you may see a [[Missing language key]] error under the custom icons. Just run this script:
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cachelangfiles
It’s common that when moving a cPanel account between servers with differing software versions, the version numbers (specifically MySQL) on the side of cPanel still reflect those of the old server. This can be changed by editing the version files for the account that was moved:
The files holding the version numbers are located in:
cpanel 10: /home/username/.cpanel-datastore/
cpanel 11: /home/username/.cpanel/datastore/
The following files control the version display in user cPanels:
Apache Version:
_usr_local_apache_bin_httpd_-v
Perl Version:
_usr_bin_perl_-v
MySQL Version:
_usr_sbin_mysqld_–version
You know you’re using the right password, so why can’t you log into Webmail? One common issue users see on courier-IMAP systems when trying to log into Horde is:
Notice: (null)(): Retrying LOGIN authentication after AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failed (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0 Notice: (null)(): Retrying LOGIN authentication after AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failed (errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0 Notice: (null)(): Can not authenticate to IMAP server: AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failed (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
To rule out a service failure, restart both cPanel and courier-imap:
/etc/init.d/courier-imap restart
service cpanel restart
The fix that works 98% of the time is to run these commands:
mv /etc/vmail /etc/vmail.bak
/scripts/updateuserdomains
If that doesn’t correct the error, in some cases running a courier update has corrected the issue:
/scripts/courierup –force
If you have changed the shell default Port 22 on a cPanel powered server , restarting sshd from the WHM will fail. You have to ssh to the server and issue the following command to restart sshd…
To, temporarily, reset your shell port back to 22, run the following command from the Address field in browser:
Now, you should be able to access shell, and you need to restart sshd at the prompt using the command mentioned above
Cpanel on FreeBSD shows the error that named or rndc does not exist after a cpanel update.
server1# ln -s /usr/local/sbin/named /usr/sbin/named
The iconv API is the standard programming interface for converting character strings from one character encoding to another in Unix-like operating systems. Initially appearing on the HP-UX operating system, it was standardized within XPG4 and is part of the Single UNIX Specification (SUS).
All recent Linux distributions contain a free implementation of iconv() as part of the GNU C Library which is the C library for current Linux systems. To use it, the GNU glibc locales need to be installed, which are provided as a separate package (usually named glibc-locale) normally installed by default.

From WHM you can compile Apache with iconv :
WHM Main >> Software >> EasyApache (Apache Update)
Follow the wizard and slect “Iconv (experimental)” under PHP Exhaustive Settings and start the Apache build by using “Start Build”.
