erics, June 12th, 2019 The Problem Tried to install the latest version of cpan and got stuck. Tracked it down to the dependency module Mac::SystemDirectory which was failing to build:

The Solution Use the MacOS installer command to deploy the needed files:
|

xcode-select --install sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / installer: Package name is macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14 installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install was successful. |
The, rerunning the cpan install works:

The GPG keys listed for the "Percona-Release YUM repository - x86_64" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package. Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository. Failing package is: sysbench-1.0.17-2.el6.x86_64 GPG Keys are configured as: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Percona |
The solution, found on the Percona website, is this: sudo yum update percona-release Source URL: https://www.percona.com/blog/2019/02/05/new-percona-package-signing-key-requires-update-on-rhel-and-centos/

erics, April 17th, 2017 If you are missing either your “Dashboard > Updates” menu choice, or the “Add New” button or menu choice in the Plugins section, do this to correct it: Edit the wp-config.php file, and change two lines to be false instead of true: For example, here are the two lines fixed:

define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false); define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS',false); |
