Upgrade from 3.71 to 3.81 password probs

[BAJI26]

Have anyone experienced this:

 

After upgrading all clients passwords, cPanel passwords and domain registrar info turned to rubbish.

I did notice that my domain registrar password turned to rubbish. No others did though.

This maybe a posibility... I got it from cPanel yesterday.

Please ensure to read the following message carefully as there is important information about MySQL and Automated process killers in relation to the cPanel 11.24 upgrade. MySQL Root Password --------------------------------- With cPanel 11.24 now available, it is imperative to ensure that you have set your MySQL root password before upgrading to the latest version of cPanel. If you have previously skipped this step, you can set it now using the "MySQL Root Password" function in WebHost Manager. Failure to set a MySQL root password may cause database corruption on systems running MySQL 4.1 with InnoDB tables. Please set your MySQL root password as soon as possible to avoid any issues. Machines without a MySQL root password set allow access to any database by any user so it is imperative that a password is set as soon as possible. If you have moved /root ------------------------------ If you have set root's home directory to something other than /root, you will need to copy .my.cnf from root's home directory to /root/my.cnf. In the future, this process will be automated. Automated process killers ------------------------------------ If you have a system in place that automatically kills processes taking up a lot of CPU time, you should disable them before running the cPanel update as the size of the update has triggered many of these systems. These process killers will kill updates or related process in the middle of the process and cause issues. If you have a failed update, you can force a re-update by running /scripts/upcp --force If you have already updated to cPanel 11.24 and experienced this problem please open a ticket at https://tickets.cpanel.net/submit/

Thank You,

This one may be of interest as well

After weeks of intense testing and feedback all the great new features and optimizations present in cPanel 11.24 EDGE and CURRENT are now in our RELEASE build. 11.24.4 includes many updates and enhancements that have been discussed in past posts. Now, those customers who prefer to use cPanel's RELEASE build get to find out what all the buzz is about.

Don't think the cPanel stuff is related. The corruption I had of the domain registrar password happened on a FreeBSD machine that I don't run any control panel on .

I had the same problem with the domain registrar passwords. Noticed it when there was an error connecting and the name servers wouldn't show. Simply had to redo the passwords. So far, no problem with client passwords.

I delete the DB >> Install 3.71 DB again >> upgrade.

 

I've done this more than once and it never worked but now it did, all infomation retained.

 

Before all passwords were rubbish, the affiliate links were gone, some Paid invoices were turned to Unpaid, and some settings were removed.

 

I'll continue to look around and see if it actually upgraded correctly.

BAJI26,

Yeah, I suppose that should say "mark paid" - at least when it is an "unpaid invoice".

 

I can't remember what it used to be like, but if you are adding a payment using the top tab, then you don't need a "mark paid" button.

Any answer on this.. all the client area passwords are rubbish.. This suddenly happened a week or two ago.

 

Thanks!
