View source for cpanel cannot upgrade due to insufficient disk space

On a cpanel server, i get following error

<pre>
fatal: Cannot upgrade due to insufficient disk space.
Detected 1.67GB. You will need at least 3GB to install/update to a new version of cPanel.
</pre>

On most servers, i just clean log, on this server, log folders already symlinked to /home, so there is not much we can do.

This is fixed by moving cpanel folder to /home/cpanel


<pre>
mkdir /home/cpanel/
rsync -vrplogDtH /usr/local/cpanel/ /home/cpanel/
service cpanel stop
rsync -vrplogDtH /usr/local/cpanel/ /home/cpanel/
mv /usr/local/cpanel /usr/local/cpanel.hon
mkdir /usr/local/cpanel
mount --bind /home/cpanel/ /usr/local/cpanel/
service cpanel start
</pre>


To mount /home/cpanel as /usr/local/cpanel on boot, you need to edit /etc/fstab file.

<pre>
vi /etc/fstab
</pre>

Add

<pre>
/home/cpanel    /usr/local/cpanel   none     defaults,bind    0 0
</pre>

<pre>
