Fix issues identified by cPanel before upgrading to Almalinux
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
cPanel has found three issues that prevent a (LATER) upgrade from CENTOS 7.9 to Almalinux 8. Your task is to fix these three issues:
1. You are using MySQL 5.7 community server. This version is not available for AlmaLinux 8. You first need to update your MySQL server to 8.0 or later. You can update to version 8.0 using the following command: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/whmapi1 start_background_mysql_upgrade version=8.0 Once the MySQL upgrade is finished, you can then retry to elevate to AlmaLinux 8.
2. One or more enabled YUM repo are currently unsupported. You should disable these repositories and remove packages installed from them before continuing the update. Consider reporting this limitation to https://github.com/cpanel/elevate/issues
3. This script does not appear to be the newest available release. Please download the latest version from the following URL and try again: wget -O /scripts/elevate-cpanel https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cpanel/elevate/release/elevate-cpanel ; chmod 700 /scripts/elevate-cpanel Pass the --skip-elevate-version-check flag to skip this check.
The actual upgrade to Almalinux 8 is NOT part of the job at this time.
The work is done when cPanel see no more constraints for the upgrade.
I expect this is a routine job for an experienced server administrator. Your quote should be on the lower end of a "Simple Project", that is closer to US$30 than US$250.
