After doing some searching here in this forum, I found no answer, so I already submitted a Support Ticket (#XXXXXX) at about 12:09a PT 7/2.

I've made the decision in the lull of the college sports season, to move my local (at home) web server fully to the cloud. So I have a Digital Ocean Droplet that is running on CentOS 7.3 with WHM/cPanel version 64.0 build 29.

I must have had the free version of Softaculous on it, and now that I've paid for a license after a few months, I can't get it to refresh via the admin area, nor the command line for the cron job do do so manually, and it just hangs.

This is the command I gathered from the docs page.

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous/cron.php

When I click on "Softaculous - Instant Installs" from the WHM admin panel, I get the following error:

"Your license (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX) is not
active or it has expired. If your license has expired, please renew it
to continue using this Software.
Refresh License"

This also goes no where, but a loop. I've already tried following the guide to "remove" Softaculous, and then restarted my server, and run the install. If I run the normal install, I get errors about:

"APPLICATION - Software not found.....Needs Update
Fetching Latest File......Could not SAVE latest file......Continuing
Mirror : s3.softaculous.com",

though I can easily ping these mirror servers. So not sure what's going on. Yet if I choose to do the " --quick" install, then it bypasses trying to gather up the files until a later time.

As "Digital Ocean" seems to be a popular cloud service for the common man so to speak, as it's better suited for the individual with minimal funds, versus the old standby of Amazon Web Services, or Elastic Computing, maybe there are some other common issues involved that need to be put down for others to follow to help get them on track for using Softaculous, Webuzo, etc.

Thank you for reading, or skimming through this. All criticisms taken, along with other thoughts and possibilities to try. Again, I'd love to get my home server fully moved up, but since I already have a license there, it helps to have one set in place as I transfer the websites over.

Apology not needed, but accepted. When things like this happen, it's natural to get upset. That is why I tried doing my research (rare for me), before submitting in both places (Support ticket and then here); based on past forums I've read through where someone didn't give enough details to help the support team decipher the trouble(s).

Thankfully, based on that support ticket, the issue was only a matter of the new IP address not automatically being updated to the correct one on your side, as it needed to be.

And again, having posted here after the support ticket was to share the result(s) for any future visitors with a similar issue.  :nerd:

I continue to look forward to supporting the progress that is made. Softaculous is a nearly "set it and forget it" application, because of the automatic updates. Nearly only because I may miss update notifications if my email server goes down. I've enjoyed the service over the past few years, which has come a long ways. Though I have to get used to the latest version, as I thought the version from about 2 years ago was more user friendly. But that's me, and can't complain too much, as a 1 man operation of web hosting on a very limited budget.  ;-D
