Softacalous on cpanel was giving error or ioncube loader

Even disabling and reenabling ioncobe from tweak setting didnt fix the issue

Script error: the ionCube Loader for PHP needs to be installed. The ionCube Loader is the industry standard PHP extension for running protected PHP code, and can usually be added easily to a PHP installation. For Loaders please visit: https://get-loader.ioncube.com For an instructional video please see: http://ioncu.be/LV Child failed to make LIVEAPI connection to cPanel.

Reinstalling softacalous should fix the issue

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

Mysql 8.0 was not started on cpanel all of sudden without issue

After googling the issue was found to be with MySQL 8.0.38 release

Run the below 3 commands

yum downgrade mysql-community-* # to downgrade mysql to previous version

/scripts/restartsrv_mysql # Restart mysql

dnf install python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock #install version lock on amla linux

yum versionlock mysql* #lock the mysql version so cpanel wont overwrite it

Mysql should be up and online and version lock will stop cpanel overwritting it on nightly updates until lock is removed

While doing fdisk on server was getting the error mentioned above

The solution to this issue was to use command parted -l

[root@db ~]# parted -l
Warning: Not all of the space available to /dev/vda appears to be used, you can
fix the GPT to use all of the space (an extra 220200960 blocks) or continue with
the current setting?

Rebooting the VM after this fixed the issue

To add addon or subdomain outside the public_html folder in cpanel

WHM >> Tweak Settings and making sure “Restrict document roots to public_html” is set to “Off”

This would help in adding domani outside public_html folder

The issue was due to Almalinux updated their GPG keys recently, and it appears the server may not have had the most up-to-date version.

Running command fixed the issue

rpm –import https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux

Now cpanel install is working fine
