The chkservd process attempts to connect to “127.0.0.1:5959” in order to validate that this service is functioning. If you blocked connections with iptables or the “Host Access Control” interface in WHM, this failure may be a false positive.

To resolve this issue, either open the firewall to allow connections as the root user to “127.0.0.1:5959” or disable checks for this service in WHM’s “Service Manager” interface with the “Configure Monitor Settings” link below.

this is a core network connectivity issue with your provider.

No TLS errors so best to check with your provider on how to enable this

Hi Andrew. Thank you for your reply. I have allowed port 5656 in my firewall. But still the same error. I have also tried disabling checks in Config Monitor Settings, but still the same error. It is my own dedicated server so not support.

You might have more luck with this question on the cPanel support forum as this looks more like a cPanel issue. Not to say that it’s not possible someone here has run into this issue before and knows how to solve this. :wink:

Thank you all for your feedback. I used a plugin “lts encrypt for cpanel”, the error was casued as the license file was not matching my new server name as I had renamed it. I have now updated the license and in the process of re-installing. It is strange how it was flagged as a port issue by cPanel though.
