Cpanel disk space consumed by an account’s MySQL and PostgreSQL database

To enable this feature toggle the following Tweak Setting:

When displaying disk usage in cPanel/WHM include Postgresql and MySQL® disk usage.

As with the database counts, the disk usage calculation is handled by /scripts/update_db_cache which executes every 4 hours. This script is executed upon enabling the Tweak Setting. Administrators may also execute this script to recalculate the figures.

The disk usage figures are stored in /var/cpanel/datastore/mysql-disk-usage and /var/cpanel/datastore/postgres-disk-usage.

cat /var/cpanel/datastore/mysql-disk-usage

Support for /scripts/updatemysqlquota ends as of cPanelTM 11.25.0. Per this change /scripts/updatemysqlquota is no longer distributed with the product.

Cpanel failurls File

Cpanel failurls File

The failurls file, located at /var/cpanel/failurls, allows you to specify where resellers can redirect users who fail to authenticate with cPanel.

Enter the URLs to which resellers can redirect users, one per line, in the file.

Entries in this file must meet the following requirements:

Entries must be an exact match. Dynamic URLs are not acceptable.

Example:

http://example.com/index.php?failed=1

Dynamic content on the login page must be passed via hidden POST variables. Using the GET query string will fail because it will not match any entry in the failurls file exactly. When you are finished creating entries in the failurls file, you must restart cPanel. To restart cPanel, run the following command as the root user:

/usr/local/cpanel/startup

Installing PostgreSQL on Your cPanel/WHM Server

cPanel requires PostgreSQL 7.3.x or later.

First step is to update cpanel using /scripts/upcp from command line while logged in as root. If you have PostgreSQL 7.2.x installed, back up your databases using pg_dumpall.

Move your existing PostgreSQL data directory somewhere else by, for example, typing the following command:

mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old

Type the following command:

/scripts/installpostgres

From WHM now select Postgres Config in the SQL Services section of WHM. Type a new PostgreSQL password in the text box and click Change Password.
