Who is really suffering because of the last Cpanel update?

Simon

I was but then I saw a message on WHM of how to fix the MySQL problem where everyone would see each others database on phpMyAdmin. I haven't had other problems surface....yet!

which update was this?

Simon, I just updated to 6.4.0-RELEASE this morning.
No problems that I noticed so far.

We have been having alot of problems with mysql database corruption, along with their brilliant little iptables raise the server load to 400 million feature they threw in there. Gotta love these 'updates' and 'upgrades'. Anyone know the fix to the mysql databases being corrupted? We repair em and it just happens over and over again.

sorry HRBrendan. I just ran what showed on WHM and the whole thing was fine. So you were having more problems then what it described in the update? (Where everyone could see everyones table on phpMyAdmin)?

cpanel upgrade/update = disaster

They put a notice in the WHM news saying that you have to upgrade apache(/scripts/easyapache). Many dedicated server clients don't know that this is a serious upgrade so they run it from the command line and next thing you know, APACHE IS BROKEN!! WOOHOOO GOOD JOB CPANEL!!!!!

Yes. We had that problem as well, but this is mysql repeatedly corrupting heavily used databases.

I think the most problem people get with the latest Cpanel update are those that using iptables. Other than that, it is great.

Hah! I did that :)

I had mod_auth_mysql installed on that server before the update. The update deleted the install so I had to go through the apache config to remove the bad entries.

Posted in the Cpanel Forums: Anyone who is seeing their mysql tables corrupted from a php app should run /scripts/easyapache as the new buildapache will not use php's builtin mysql, instead it will use the libraries installed by mysql. This seems to elimitate the corruption problem. We are still investigating this problem, and more information will be released as it because avalible.

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/fixmysql

Worked for me.
:)

I only update to Release versions. Don't recall having any major problems after an upgrade to a Release version.

Has this update broken anybodies email systems?

What does mod_auth_mysql do? I had to remove that from httpd.conf.
