Hello everybody
i hope you having grate time in any where you are in


today i get a new server for Our remote and dedicated database server ( DB server is Esxi VM )
i Cloned the DB server after shut it it down to new server and change THe ip address of the CentOS ( VM )

DB server hostname : dbs1.domain.com
Server hostname : hosting.domain.com
Server IP : 1.2.3.4
DB Server IP : 2.3.4.5
New IP after Clone to new server : 3.4.5.6

ive switched DB to local From Mysql Profile and removed Remote server profile
than i re add DB server with new password
before this i reset the MariaDB ( on remote server )root user password because of forget that !
also ive updated DB Server host name IP (2.3.4.5) in /etc/hosts file with new DB server Ip (3.4.5.6) address and also i did the same on DB Server

here is the strange thing
when i shut down the OLD server and did change ips and reboot both cpanel and remote db server
also ive checked /root/.my.cnf and /root/.my.cnf.remote hostname and user pass and eved added [host=3.4.5.6] additional to host=dbs1.domain.com
i can ping hostname for db server and cpanel server form each server to correct ip !
also when i add remote profile it connect to hostname and do all updates and system apps databases change
also i could connect to phpmyadmin and see all databases from root or even open specific databases from user Cpanel
i also white-listed new DBserver ip on hosting server CSF ( the same was applied on DB server for IP of hosting server )
but on websites all of them get database connection error ! ( 110 Connection Timeout )

this mean they could not reach new database server when phpmyadmin could reach it on same server

right after i trun old server ON websites back to working condition without problem ( and for the website that i changed db password on new server and updated its config i get access denied erro instead of working condition on old DB server or Connection time out on New server )

it seems something prevent websites acknowledge new dbserver Ip address( they all set hostname as DBServer so when i change Ip address of host name they most connect to new Ip and server )

is there any thing missing in my steps and configuration ?

tonight ive tested again
create another clone with a new IP !
result is the same ( i dont expect change in result !!! )
what kind of cache websites may use to query host names to old ips ?!

ive tried Ip address instead of host name in wordpress configurations !
and every thing worked like normal
cpanel to db server connection is working
i cannot update all websites host name for db server to ip


there must be a cache software

Hello,

Check to see if the new server's hostname resolves to the correct IP address from the cPanel server with commands such as:

Code:
host host.remote-mysql-server.com
ping host.remote-mysql-server.com
Does it resolve to the correct IP address?

Thank you.
