DBCACHE: exit 11

Currently aware of an issue when updating to MariaDB 10.3.26 or MariaDB 10.2.35. Which causes MySQL Databases interface within cPanel to display invalid errors such as, but not limited to: “The MySQL server is currently offline”.

While the error in cPanel may indicate that the MySQL service is offline, it is an issue with grants and MySQL is just inaccessible for the cPanel user. We do recommend checking the service directly to confirm that it is online – in the cases, we have seen MySQL is still online.

You may temporarily resolve the issue by downgrading to the previous minor version of MariaDB using the steps outlined

Follow below steps

yum downgrade MariaDB-server MariaDB-common MariaDB-shared MariaDB-client MariaDB-compat MariaDB-devel

If your server has not yet been affected by the issue, we recommend yum-locking the MariaDB packages in place to avoid the package from being updated. This can be completed by executing the following:

yum install -y yum-plugin-versionlock && yum versionlock MariaDB-* 

And restart mysql to resolve the issue

WHMCS client area blank

I was having an issue where WHMCS admin panel was working fine

However client area was showing blank page

So I enabled error logging in WHMCS in configuration.php file using below paraneter

$display_errors = true;

and tried accessing WHMCS client area
It showed Memory error which was a PHP memory issue 

Increasing PHP memory fixed the issue

Too many concurrent SMTP connections errors exim

The default value for smtp_Accept_max in exim.conf is 30 in cpanel

You need to login to WHM > Home »Service Configuration »Exim Configuration Manager >> Advanced Editor

Search for parameter smtp_Accept_max and change the value to 100 and save

this will save file and restart exim and resolve the issue

error: libcare:3 bad rotation count ‘5

Got an error from Anacron below error

error: libcare:3 bad rotation count ‘5 # keep 5 last archives’
error: found error in /var/log/libcare/*.log , skipping

The fix to this issue was

open file

/etc/logrotate.d/libcare

/var/log/libcare/*.log {
daily
rotate 5 #keep 5 last archives
missingok # it's ok if there is no such file
notifempty # do nothing if file is empty
compress
}

Remove line "#keep 5 last archives" and save file

This fixes the issue

There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction, or “yum-complete-transaction –cleanup-only” and “yum history redo last”, first to finish them. If those don’t work you’ll have to try removing/installing packages by hand (maybe package-cleanup can help).

Error restoring a particular database

[root@OK1053 mysql]# mysql uulimain_testagain < /home/uulimain/public_html/uulimain_testagain.sql
ERROR 1067 (42000) at line 242: Invalid default value for ‘up_to_date_as_of’

For this error need to cross check the mysql version of database backup from where is imported and also the mysql version on the current server, if both are same database will restore.
