My friends who use cPanel as their control panel, let me advise you first and foremost, don't use WHM to do sysadmin tasks. It will mess up the system once in a while and will leave you in dark. Similar situation happened with my friend, who was trying to compile PHP enabling the experimental PDO support through WHM. It messed up and all he could see was
!! No method to auto repair package system !!
!! Please visit http://www.cpanel.net/support/could_not_ensurepkgs.htm for help with this error. !!
!! Restoring original working apache !!
Apache stopped working. Examined a bit around 15 minutes to find out the solution. I was blindly looking around the httpd.conf and other similar configuration. But it was when I ran /scripts/easyapache, I could sniff the issue.
cPanel was not able to update the packages and problem lied in the yum updating the PDO package.A "ps -auxww | grep yum" told me the same. Process was having the status of T (or stopped). I continued the process by passing the signal 18 to it and everything and niffy after that "kill -18 PID"
