Cron As Postgres User Not Working

Jun 14, 2007

I was hoping someone could shed some light on a cron related issue I'm having.

I've been using linux for a while...but never really used crons.

My cron is supposed to dump a postgres db in tar.gz format every minute (for testing purposes) but it doesn't.

I opened my cron in vim via:

Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ crontab -e
And here's the cron:

Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/pg_dump -D warranty_1_6_test | gzip -c > /var/www/test/postgres/backup$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M").tar.gz

Also:

Code:
postgres@myhost:~$ ls -lah /var/www/test/postgres/
total 8.0K
drwxrwxrwx 2 postgres postgres 4.0K 2007-06-14 12:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4.0K 2007-06-14 11:47 ..

Running the backup command via CLI works fine.

Cron Quit Working...

Oct 6, 2007

I have a dedicated CentOS 4.5 Server. However, as you can probably guess I am new to linux and managing a server...

Anyway, beginning of this month my crons quit working, I still receive emails as if they are ran but I can't get the scripts to actually execute.

I have not touched the crontabs or anything prior to them not working, they simply quit working... I did not notice immediatly they did not work, I am guessing that it was around the time of which I rebuilt apache to a new version of PHP. Today I tried changing them to "php path/to/script.php" and I also tried "path/to/php /path/to/script.php", neither worked.

Any ideas or suggestions as to how I can fix this?

Cron Job Not Working Properly

Jun 9, 2007

I have a slight problem with a cron job I have setup.

I wanted to save a copy of iptables every hour to a folder, so I created a script... here it is:

Code:
varDate=`date +%y%m%d`
varTime=`date +%H%M`

filename="IPtablesBackup-$varDate-$varTime"
iptables-save -c > /etc/IPtablesBackup/$filename
and called is Backup-Script.sh

Now if I just execute the script will in root ./Backup-Script.sh I get a new file with the correct filename and iptables info is saved ! Great ! So then I thought, how can I setup this automatically every hour.

Which leads me on to my problem. I inputted "crontab -e" added this line

Code:
59 * * * * /etc/IPtablesBackup/Backup-Script.sh
The problem is the script is run, I know because it creates a new file with the correct time and date, however the file is empty?

I have set Backup-Script.sh to 777 and owner and group are both root?

Cron - Not Working - Apache

Jul 4, 2007

I did not realize the significance of the Apache sub-forum. I thought perhaps this would be a more general Server management query, but I realize now I should have posted in Apache forum.

I have been banging my head against the wall for the last couple of days trying to get cron jobs working. It's actually making me quite depressed, a lot of people are waiting on me to get this working, and for the life of me I see no light. I'm not a stupid person, i'm a PHP developer, and have some linux skills. This is the single most annoying issue I have had to deal with simply because I cannot find any troubleshooting methods to my issue.

I have tried every different combination of command under the sun and I cannot get any sign that the cron is running the commands.

I own a "virtual" dedicated server with a hosting company, I have full root access. Linux / Apache

The script file is a PHP file which simply mail() an email saying that cron is working, I am yet to receive this mail that was executed by cron.

I have ensured there are no errors in this simple PHP file, I have executed the script from the shell and all is well there..

So, firstly I tried to setup the cron table from CPanel, on the account where the script resides.

I used the following command combinations:
Code:
0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php
0-59 * * * * cd "/home/username/public_html/"; php cron.php
0-59 * * * * wget [url]
with time combinations of:
* * * * *
to get the command to be executed evey minute, for testing purposes.

All these commands work fine when executed through the shell.

I set the mail address for cron output to be my mail address also.

I do not get any mail from cpanel with an overview of the cron executions.

I then gave up trying to get cron to work on that account, and decided to go root.

I logged into the shell via root, checked the cron table for root. I edited the root cron table (that contains commands for various cpanel scripts etc) to include a command to execute the php script, even with the script residing on the root directory.

I also added MAILTO="myemail@email.com" to the first line of the cron table.

I do not get any emails of the cron actions.

How can I check if the cron scheduler is working when I get no sign that the cron commands are being executed, and when I do not receive any cron emails? What methods are there for me to troubleshoot this issue?

Could it be possible that cron shedular is not active on my server?

I have lurked the net with great detail to find any method to troubleshoot my issue, and all the related pages I find are to do with troubleshooting the commands. I know my commands are fine, there is some other issue here.

Cron Job Not Working, Restart Services

Jan 1, 2008

I'm having a bit of trouble with one cron job that doesn't seem to work.

I have others scripts that run hourly fine. However this one does not.

The script:

restart_monitoring.sh

Code:
#!/bin/bash
service iptables stop
service iptables start
/root/bandwidth_rules.sh
/root/portforward_config.sh
exit
The two scripts at the end just load a lot of iptables rules back in.

The cron job should run hourly (59th minute)

The cron job entry

Code:
59 * * * * /root/restart_monitoring.sh
I have restart crond to enable the new job, still doesn't run.

The job is to restart iptables, thus flushing all rules that I have running, then reloading them. I have figured out the problem to be with the "service iptables stop/start" command, it doesn't seem to like doing this...?

Weird MySQL: User/pass Stops Working After A While

Mar 29, 2009

I am having a very strange problem with 2 different cPanel accounts on a server with 500-600 accounts. For some reason after a day or two the mysql username/password stops working. We have tried changing the MySQL user and the password with no success. The log does not indicate that the MySQL password was changed in any way. Only these 2 accounts are affected and this problem occurred at least half dozen times each.

Again: these are two different accounts with 2 different MySQL users that after a while stop working (I am unable to determine if they stop working at the same time b/c they belong to different customers). When we reset the user (with the same pass) it works for a day or two. I have checked to connect not only from PHP but also from shell when it's down: it also doesn't work so this is a pure MySQL problem.

Also on the server we have Fantastico.

Restoring 1.5GB SQL Dump (Postgres)

Jan 23, 2007

This seemed like the most appropriate place so I decided to post here.

SYSTEM:
Fedora Core 4, 3GHz, 2GB RAM
Postgres 8, Apache 2, PHP 4

The issue is that I have with me a 1.5GB SQL dump from Postgres 8 which I extracted using pg_dump.

Restoring it seems to be an issue on this PC. I've tried modifying memory directives in postgresql.conf as well as the kernels SHMAX value but no go.

I tried a bunch of other things such as gzipping the file so that it was only 100mb and doing:

Code:
gunzip -c dump.sql.gz | psql my_db
But I recieved many errors saying "invalid command N" and I also got a syntax error notice and the process terminated.

I tried to at least try and enter some data manually but vim is incredibly slow since this is a 1.5GB file.

Is there a way I could perhaps split up my db dump and then import them into the db one by one?

Postgres: Restoring A Filesystem Backup

Feb 19, 2007

i had to do a file system back up because of the size of my database.

i shutdown postmaster and tar'd the files.

i recently reloaded my OS and now i'm attempting to restore the backups. i first shut down postmaster, restored the backups to the data folder and restarted postmaster.

i then su'd from root to postgres user:

Code:
[postgres@austin1 pgsql]$ psql service_2_3
psql: FATAL: database "service_2_3" does not exist
DETAIL: The database subdirectory "base/16385" is missing.

the backups had a database named service_2_3 but upon restoring the backups, it doesn't seem to be available.

my data directory is /var/pgsql/data.

Code:
[postgres@austin1 pgsql]$ ls -lahR /var/pgsql/ | grep 16385
but that yielded nothing.

have i done something wrong while backing up? i don't think i have since i followed the postgres manual when backing up. but the administrators have not been very thorough with how they've set the system up for me.

how i can resolve this issue if you have the time.

IDENT Authentication Failed For Postgres. Pg_hba.conf

Feb 15, 2007

I just reloaded the OS on our production server and I'm having issues configuring postgres.

the user postgres exists in the system (i.e. 'su postgres' switches me to that user)
i attempted to connect to my database 'service_2_3' via CLI:

Code:
$ su postgres
$ psql service_2_3
and i recieved the following error:

Code:
psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres@service_2_3"
the database is installed on the machine on which i was attempting to connect to it with.

therefore, i edited my pg_hba.conf so that it looks like this:

Code:

# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
host all all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password

and reloaded with (as user postgres):

Code:
bash-3.00$ pg_ctl reload -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -l /var/lib/pgsql/data/temp.log

but i still get the same error. am i editing the wrong file, perhaps?

how would i know which is the correct pg_hba.conf file?

locate pg_hba.conf seems to give me a few results.

Redirect Domain/user To User.domain ONLY IF Folder 'user' Doesn't Exist

May 7, 2007

I thought I knew enough about my .htaccess stuff to do this, but I can't seem to work it out. What I want to do is if a user visits domain.com/folder, we check to see if the folder exists. If so, show as normal (IE domain.com/support)

If a user visits domain.com/dynamicusername (dynamicusername is not a physical folder), redirect to dynamicusername.domain.com

Plesk Automation :: Login As User From Admin / Actual Login As User Are Different

Jan 3, 2014

when I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?
