For cPanel & WHM version 60

Overview

The /etc/cpupdate.conf file on your server determines how cPanel & WHM updates the following system components:

  • cPanel & WHM itself.
  • Installed RPMs (RPM Package Manager files).
  • Apache SpamAssassin™ rules. 

How to edit the configuration file

Each line of the /etc/cpupdate.conf file determines how cPanel & WHM updates the specified system component. You can edit this file with your preferred text editor via SSH, or use WHM's Update Preferences  interface (Home >> Server Configuration >> Update Preferences).

File format

The /etc/cpupdate.conf file appears similar to the following example:

CPANEL=release
RPMUP=daily
SARULESUP=daily
STAGING_DIR=/data
UPDATES=daily

Notes:

  • Each KEY=value pair is on a separate line.
  • A single equals sign (=) separates the uppercase KEY and lowercase value.
  • The file must not contain spaces.
