    Hello,

    okay, this is a bit strange issue....

    scenario:

    2 servers, one is the remote mysql server for another...

    server1 has been set up with a remote mysql server with server2

    now, when we try and update stats for a particular client on server1 we get the below error.

    =============================================================

    one of many questions:
    the eximstats uses the /root/.my.cnf file for the mysql server details which on our server happens to be the remote server entries... is this correct ? does the eximstats user connect to the remote server ?

    in short who to resolve this issue..

    Please help.....

    It does use /root/.my.cnf to connect to the remote host. Is there a corresponding eximstats database on the remote MySQL server? Does the eximstats user on the local cPanel server have sufficient rights on the remote MySQL server? Try the following code as a test script:

    Code:
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;

my $db = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:mysql:__IP_ADDRESS__", 'eximstats', __EXIMSTATS_PWORD__ );
    Replace the placeholders (e.g. __IP_ADDRESS__) with your particular configuration. YOu can find the password for eximstats in /var/cpanel/eximstatspass

    Hello,

    Sorry been so late to this....but yes, there is a remote eximstats database (database is located on both the servers) with the same password....

    I will try connecting using the test script supplied, but can you confirm that where should I use this script on ? Server1 or server2 ?

    Also will upcp --force resolve the issue ? is there any script that I can use to resolve this issue...

    Many thanks for your reply...

    If server1 is the remote MySQL server, and server2 is the local cPanel user, then run the test script on server2.

    i have the same issue.

    i modified the /var/cpanel/eximstatspass on the front end servers to the password from the /var/cpanel/eximstatspass on the db server, but it still says failed. i will see with remote hosts . maybe that's the culprit

    yes so it seems. besides the hostname which is added in the privileges, add the ips of the front end servers with the same privileges to the eximstats . careful not to change the password.


    now it works.


    UPDATE: it doesn't work. still failed. is it possible to see some eximstats log? or to see where is it trying to connect to?

    UPDATE2 : it started working by some miracle lol.

    eximstats is in /usr/local/cpanel/bin

    You can run it manualy with --debug, but I usually add my own debugging code for better reporting.

    Hi every one,

    In response to my initial query I got the issue resolved. I got the entry for the remote mysql server host IP commented in the /root/.my.cnf file. After doing this, I was able to run the /script/runweblog script successfully without any error messages for the user.



    Thank you so much "cpanelkenneth" for looking into this for me. Much appreciated.
