script /scripts/mysqlup is causing binlog and relaylog to be owned by root

[cornernote]

Hello,

I am finding that my MySQL binary and relay logs are CHOWNed by root instead of mysql. This caused replication to stop and gives me all kinds of headaches.

My mysql folder structure is non-standard, as follows:
/home/mysql/logs
/home/mysql/data
/home/mysql/tmp


I have isolated the issue to the cPanel update script "mysqlup":

- Daily script called by "cron":
/scripts/upcp

- Script called by "upcp":
/scripts/mysqlup

Here is some simple steps to replicate my issue.

[/home/mysql/logs]# ls -l
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 117 Feb 15 10:17 log-bin.000027
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 117 Feb 15 10:17 log-bin.000028
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 98 Feb 15 10:17 relay-log.000051
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 98 Feb 15 10:17 relay-log.000052

I will try to keep this post in sync with the ticket I submitted...


Hi,

I am able to replicate your issue. I'm escalating this to level 3 for review
and resolution; thanks! In the meantime, you can put something like the
following in /scripts/postupcp (I've already added it for your convenience, and
am testing it now):

#!/bin/bash
# temporary fix for non-standard mysql directory.

for dir in data import tmp logs ; do

if [ -d "/home/mysql/${dir}" ]; then
chown -R mysql.mysql "/home/mysql/${dir}" &>/dev/null
fi

# end temp fix


Thanks; I'll get this issue escalated for review in the meantime.
