Gathering PHP-FPM packages information fails due to a missing subdomain

[adamreece.webbox]

When we navigate to Software > MultiPHP Manager an error message pops up whilst gathering PHP-FPM packages information.

The message is:

API failure: Failed to find the domain(s): “m4minis.example.com”. at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/PHP/Config.pm line 255.

There doesn't appear to be any critical side effects of this error. I can still change the PHP version and PHP-FPM status of domains, though the blue "Gathering PHP-FPM packages information ..." message is there forever.

I've checked the account for domain name "example.com". It doesn't have a DNS record "m4minis.example.com", and there are no add-on domains, subdomains, aliases, or redirects configured at all.

Is there anywhere on the file system you'd suggest I look at for this erroneous entry? (I'm not sure where WHM maintains PHP-FPM configurations.)

I didn't mention that we are using WHM version 68.0.29 (release) on a CentOS 6.5 system running CloudLinux 6.9. (CageFS is very enabled.)

Hello,

It's likely some leftover data from that subdomain exists somewhere on the filesystem. Feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature and we can take a closer look to see where it might exist.

Thank you.

A support ticket is not really an option I want to use, because it looks like I have to give some company called Interserver, Inc. root access to the server? I've never heard of them, so I can't trust that.

I've instead done a GREP search across the whole file system for the domain name string in "/etc", "/home/<user>", "/usr", and "/var".
Found it in the following places:

• /var/cpanel/bandwidth/<user>.sqlite
• /var/cpanel/logs/convert_all_domains_to_fpm.1517391015.log
• /var/cpanel/users.cache/<user>
• /var/cpanel/users/<user>
• /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

Starting with the text files I started with "/var/cpanel/users/<user>", noticed "XDNS1" property was set to "<user>.example.com" instead of just "example.com", so that's been corrected. (Be sure to exec `/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updateuserdomains` after.) That didn't resolve the issue though.

After looking in "/var/cpanel/userdata/<user>" I found 2 files of interest:

• <user>.example.com.php-fpm.cache
• <user>.example.com.php-fpm.yaml

Deleting those 2 files resolved this issue, though I noticed that another domain name was causing the same issue but with the same sub-domain. So looking at "/var/cpanel/userdata/<user2>" I found:

• <user>.example2.com.php-fpm.cache
• <user>.example2.com.php-fpm.yaml

Deleting those 2 files for <user2> appears to have resolved this issue.

Hello,

I'm glad to see you were able to find the leftover data and solve the issue. Do you happen to know how the removed domain name was terminated or modified in the past? For instance, this can happen if it was manually modified, or if there was an error during the account modification or termination process.

Thank you.

That's a good question. I can't answer that as none of our staff did this. The account is for a client's web/email hosting, and they have cPanel access, so likely did this themselves. (It's also only me and one person at our data centre that uses a terminal as root, and we didn't touch the account manually.)

I didn't even know the sub-domain ever existed until I saw the original error in WHM. Sorry I can't be of more help on this.
