Cphulkd marked as crashed? We can help you fix it.

As part of our Server Management Services, we assist our customers with several cPanel queries.

Today, let us see how our techs resolve this error for our customers.

Cphulkd marked as crashed

Suppose the cphulk database crashes or a table crashes. Then, the MySQL error log and the Cphulkd logs will continue to increase in disk usage as well as receiving notifications for cPanel regarding checkmysql.

We’ll notice errors that indicate the table or database crash in the following log files:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/cphulkd_errors.log
/var/lib/mysql/$hostname.err

In addition, we can find the cPanel notifications in, /var/cpanel/user_notifications/root/history/

warn [cphulkd] 13650 DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table ‘./cphulkd/login_track’
is marked as crashed and should be repaired at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Hulkd.pm line 435, <$client_socket> line 3.

If the installation is still utilizing MySQL for Cphulk, our Support Techs recommend converting to Sqlite to help prevent these database crashes.

Most often, this happens automatically when we upgrade to cPanel version 66 or higher.

However, at times, upgrading will not be an option. In that case, we need to rebuild the cPhulkd database with:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/hulkdsetup --force

Here, we use ‘–force’ to update the schema, even if that would involve dropping tables.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/cphulk_pam_ctl --enable
