Hi Everyone,
This is maybe a little off-topic, but is anyone having any problems
with their mysql servers today?
That is an odd - and disturbingly non-technical - assertion, that the
date has anything to do with how a product deployed on hundreds of
thousands of computer systems performs.
It is not unheard of for software issues to crop up on certain dates.
Have you administered a computer before ?
Your insulting tone is not appreciated
I have 3 separate mysql servers (running in 3 different VMs). One of
them is used to do my Postfix SASL authentication.
No.
Postfix uses either Cyrus sasl or dovecot sasl to authenticate.
Neither of them are MySQL.
Thanks for the clarification. I am using dovecot, however I do have a
lot of virtual mappings in my main.cf file which run MYSQL queries.
Auth is failing today (possibly timing out). Also, the 2 other mysql
servers are used for web services and both of them are really slow
today. All servers are running near idle.
Any ideas, at least on the postfix issue?
There is no postfix issue.
I see this when my WHMCS (PHP billing system) tried to connect to the
postfix server:
warning: unknown[10.87.14.2]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed:
VXNlcm5hbWU6
So maybe the credentials were, I don't know... incorrect ?
The credentials are not incorrect, as the settings file wasn't changed
This setup has been working for months without issue. Just today it's
playing up..
Ah, I've never heard that one before.
YES, you changed something - something ALWAYS changed.
Most likely culprit is a software update/upgrade.
Possibly a software upgrade is causing the issue, however I haven’t
configured automatic updates on the Ubuntu VMs.
