How to upgrade Perl used by ASSP v2 to latest version

How to upgrade ASSP v2 Perl

You can upgrade Perl used by ASSP v2 to version 5.30.0 ( recommended ) using the procedure below. If you want know which Perl version is currently using your ASSP execute this

# grep "" /usr/local/assp/deluxe/used_perl

if it returns /usr/local/perls/perl-5.30.0/bin/perl you already have latest recommend Perl for ASSP v2.
Otherwise if you have an older Perl version ( e.g. /usr/local/perls/perl-5.26.1/bin/perl ) you may upgrade using following steps :

# if [ ! -d "/usr/local/perls" ]; then mkdir /usr/local/perls; fi
# cd /usr/local/perls;wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.30.0.tar.gz
# tar -xzf perl-5.30.0.tar.gz;cd perl-5.30.0
# ./Configure -des -Dusethreads -Dprefix=/usr/local/perls/perl-5.30.0
# make;make test;make install
# cd /usr/local/perls/;rm -f /usr/local/perls/perl-5.30.0.tar.gz
# chown -R root.root /usr/local/perls

Perl installation could require about 20 minutes, take a break ... At the end of Perl installation execute following command to install ASSP Perl modules.

# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php-cgi /usr/local/assp/deluxe/install_modules.php used_perl=/usr/local/perls/perl-5.30.0/bin/perl test=no

Perl module installation will require other 20-25 minutes, if it returns some Perl module errors you may ignore them for now. Once completed execute this

# echo "/usr/local/perls/perl-5.30.0/bin/perl" > /usr/local/assp/deluxe/used_perl
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php-cgi /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_localdomains.php force=yes

Ok now open cPanel WHM

Plugins

Grscripts ASSP Deluxe, and click Update ASSP Perl Modules as shown below

install perl modules using ASSP WHM interface

Only If you are using BerkeleyDB, open the ASSP WHM INTERFACE and STOP . Now go to console and re-install BerkeleyDB module for Perl in this way

# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php-cgi /usr/local/assp/deluxe/berk.php

Now re-install Razor and DCC plugin

# cd /usr/local/assp
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php-cgi /usr/local/assp/deluxe/razor_dcc.php
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php-cgi /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_localdomains.php force=yes gost=yes

After this step open the ASSP WHM INTERFACE and STOP and START ASSP.

If ASSP run correctly you may remove your old Perl, for example if you was using /usr/local/perls/perl-5.26.1 you can fully remove it in this way

# rm -fr /usr/local/perls/perl-5.26.1
