ASL wont update: Source WAF environment: update failed

[noox]

ASL: 4.0.16-32
Centos 6.7
Cpanel 11.52.1

When I execute aum -u I get

Code: Select all

Source WAF environment: update failed                             [FAIL]

and the error message:

I did run

/var/asl/data/templates/template-cpanel-apache-hook cpanel

I got this (at the end):

Code: Select all

I downloaded the newest lua (5.3.1) and recompiled with -fPIC. Like the error message and this post here suggested: http://penguinbliss.com/?p=488

But now I get this:

Code: Select all

msc_lua.c: In function 'lua_compile':

Should I try an older version of lua?

The root cause here is that cpanel has installed an older version of lua installed (cpanel says they are going to stop doing that kind of thing in EA4). Once simple solution is to remote the third party lua install from cpanel and just install the redhat build of lua & lua-devel.
