Softacalous blank issue cPanel/WHM

While working one of the clients server

We saw an issue where going from WHM > plugin > Softacalous and opening it resulted in blank page.

The issue is due to corrupt files in softacalous.

To fix this issue softacalous need to be reinstalled

to reinstall to go

cd  /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/

rm -rf softaculous

cd /home

wget -N http://files.softaculous.com/install.sh
chmod 755 install.sh
./install.sh


Once done softacalous was working fine

Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again

While working on a server on installing php 5.6 on centos 6 OS

I was getting error “Error: Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again”

After googleing around I found this issue is due to https mentioned in the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d

[root@host yum.repos.d]# ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 28 05:15 .
drwxr-xr-x. 80 root root 4096 Oct 28 05:16 ..

I checked in all files with .repo extension and  an replaced all https with http and  all repository started working fine
