PHP Selector Doesn't Change PHP Options on ISPManager [Resolved]

Symptoms

• Using ISPmanager + CloudLinux PHP Selector to update PHP options doesn't change options.
• You see a similar error when trying to add PHP options with --base64 parameter. For example:

# /usr/bin/selectorctl --version=X.X --user=USERNAMEHERE --base64 --add-options=ZGlzcGxheV9lcnJvcnM6T24=
ERROR:Traceback (most recent call last):

Root Cause

This is a known problem in lvemanager package which appeared after we migraded our codebase from Python 2.7 to Python 3.7.

Solution

Update lvemanager package to version 6.1.4-1 and above. Try these commands:

# yum update lvemanager

or (if your server was not yet added to gradual rollout)

# yum update lvemanager lve-utils lve-stats cagefs alt-python27-cllib cloudlinux-linksafe --enablerepo=cloudlinux-rollout-1-bypass
