Hi,

Is this server licensed? I don't see the "cloudlinux-x86_64-server-9" in repolist (and thanks for providing the actual list).

Please also show the output of

cat /etc/redhat-release

Just tested on lab server and all good:

THANK YOU!

It was a license issue. Datacenter updated IP license on their side and now it worked fine tonight.

Thank you once again for the help. It is appreciated.
