Hi, Ive noticed the job queue is locked, upong investigating i run server.sh and get: locked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' I have changed the max_connections to 1000 but this still is the case.. I'm thinking there is a config file somewhere with an incorrect password in causing the host to get blocked?
Yes, thats the most likely reason. Did you change the password of the "ispconfig" mysql user manually?
Hmm.. not that i remember, maybe a brain fart a while back when moving servers around though, how can i rectify/troubleshoot this? Is it the ispconfig config or individual services? The server is currently a slave server
Both. The MySQL user with the name "ispconfig" is used by ispconfig itself and by postfix, amavis, pure-ftps and dovecot. You can try this: grep -r ispconfig /etc you can ignore the passwd, shadow, group and gshadow files. All other files that were found are most likely MySQL connection details. Does the local database locks or the external database on the master. If the master database locks, then the issue is the ispcsrv* user in one of the two ispconfig config.inc.php files (or any other connection from master to slave as this lock is not user specific, as far as I know).
I have tried resetting the ispconfig user in mysql password back to what is listed in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config.inc.php (and restart server) Still no change.. Not sure what has gone wrong
Try to run a ispconfig update, choose reconfigure services during update. This will set the passwords in all config files again.
that did it.. i also forgot that the mysqladmin flush-host was to be executed on the master server too
