[...] Between 1-wee hours of the night Mon-Fri I’m at work listening to screaming two-year-olds otherwise known as “servers”, and racking the last two brain cells I have left on programming and troubleshooting the oddities that come along with the people that want to be difficult [...]

Yea, he noticed a few days later when he had one of those “hey, wait a minute” moments…after he already told me that the upgrade fixed his problem. I bet he feels smart =)

/home/username/.cpanel/ is a cache directory. You can remove this directory and it will be rebuilt the next time the user logs in to cPanel (or by refreshing the interface if already logged in).

I wonder if your user noticed that the MySQL version changed when the cache was refreshed?

I read your mention about MySQL 7 from Twitter, and didn’t think it’d be funny

Until you wrote about how you ‘fixed’ the problem– i thought it’d be, “Duh, stupid customers” but.. LOL.

GIVE THE CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY WANT! Completely grin-worthy. kudos. XD

THIS IS AWESOME! I’ve never had to deal with one of these clients, but this would be a fun trick if I ever did.

I used to think that but the new cpanel 11 really has its shit down and fewer suck points than it used to. The only reason why I’m fond of it is because it makes it easier to do some of the shit that i’d otherwise have to do manually. I think it’s really only good for running shared hosting servers and such – dedicated and VPS’s with advanced users should do away with it because it tends to be a software nazi

Hence why I got rid of mine ;P

You’re right though, most of our cpanel customers over here are computards…
