Overview<\/h2>\n

An RPM target represents the group of RPMs that must exist on the server for a specific service to function properly.<\/p>\n

What is an RPM target?<\/h2>\n

The rpm.versions system uses the target setting to determine whether to install or uninstall that target\u2019s specific RPMs. The target_settings<\/code> section of the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file contains the cPanel-provided default status for each target.<\/p>\n

For example, the cPanel-provided distribution of ClamAV consists of three RPMs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • cpanel-clamav<\/code><\/li>\n
  • cpanel-clamav-virusdefs<\/code><\/li>\n
  • cpanel-perl-522-File-Scan-ClamAV<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file, the setting for the clamav<\/code> RPM target controls how the rpm.versions system manages all three of these components.<\/p>\n

    \n

    For more information about the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file, read our The rpm.versions File documentation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    RPM target states<\/h2>\n

    The RPM targets on your server may exist in any of the following states:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • installed<\/code> \u2014 The rpm.versions system ensures that the RPMs for that target are installed and functional.<\/li>\n
    • uninstalled<\/code> \u2014 The rpm.versions system ensures that the RPMs for that target are uninstalled.<\/li>\n
    • unmanaged<\/code> \u2014 The rpm.versions system ignores the RPMs for that target, regardless of whether they are installed on the server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
      Warning:<\/div>\n
      \n

      You may experience problems with certain services if cPanel & WHM does not manage them:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The rpm.versions system does not update unmanaged RPMs. These RPMs require manual upgrades and maintenance.<\/li>\n
      • If you upgrade a server with unmanaged FTP targets, problems may occur in cPanel\u2019s FTP-related interfaces. For more information, read our How to Restore Missing FTP Interfaces in cPanel documentation.<\/li>\n
      • Unmanaged RPM targets may become upgrade blockers for a future version of cPanel & WHM.<\/li>\n
      • If a MySQL\u00ae RPM target is unmanaged, the system also blocks MariaDB on the server. To successfully use a cPanel-managed installation of either MySQL or MariaDB, the rpm.versions system must manage both RPM targets.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Legacy RPMs<\/h2>\n

        The RPMs that cPanel, L.L.C. provided prior to the implementation of the rpm.versions system are now legacy RPMs. The settings in the \/var\/cpanel\/cpanel.config<\/code> file control these legacy RPMs.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • The system stores these settings in the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/etc\/rpm.versions<\/code> file.<\/li>\n
        • The files in the \/var\/cpanel\/rpm.versions.d\/<\/code> directory can override the target_settings<\/code> configuration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Configuration file settings<\/h2>\n

          The following table lists the settings in the \/var\/cpanel\/cpanel.config<\/code> file that control the actions of legacy RPMs:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • mysql-version<\/code> \u2014 MySQL55<\/code>, MySQL56<\/code>, MariaDB100<\/code><\/li>\n
          • local_nameserver_type<\/code> \u2014 bind<\/code>, mydns<\/code>, ned<\/code>, powerdns<\/code>\n
            \n
            Warning:<\/div>\n
            \n

            We deprecated the MyDNS and NSD nameservers in cPanel & WHM version 78 and plan to remove them a future release. We strongly recommend that you migrate to PowerDNS. For more information, read our cPanel Deprecation Plan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          • mailserver<\/code> \u2014 dovecot<\/code>, exim<\/code><\/li>\n
          • ftp-server<\/code> \u2014 pure-ftpd<\/code>, proftpd<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
            More:<\/div>\n
