cPanel, CommandLine Renewal of SSL

[ravi.bopparaju]

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
hststeels.com
I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
Apache 2
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
CentOS + cPanel WHM
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Google Cloud
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
Yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
No, Only Shell
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

With cPanel, then certificates will be automatically created and renewed for you, via AutoSSL. You can also trigger a manual check using the WHM UI or the command line:

uapi --user=USERNAME SSL start_autossl_check

I’m not sure if it works if your cPanel licence is expired though, as in your case.

Thanks !
“/usr/local/cpanel/uapi” exited with status 1 (EPERM). at bin/apitool.pl line 260

Thats the error I seem to get.

Is that an Authentication Issue? -even as I logged in as root?

No, I’m believe it’s because your cPanel licence is expired.

Thanks for everything.
Your answer is 100% Accurate. It’s in fact a license issue.

Now, we have removed all cPanel Stuff and managing everything from GCP Command line.
