FWIW, my host wouldn’t do a global update to 3.0001_3 so I had them install it in my user directory, then I copied all the files from the ‘lib’ directory in DBD to ‘extlib’ in the MT install and it worked. If your host won’t update globally, this is probably a good workaround!

Actually the Cpanel update is working with 3.0001 but it’s not 3.0001_3 so I would suggest sticking with the cron method for now.

According to six apart cpanel will include the file in its next /upcp update. If you have that the updates set to manual, you may want to change it to automatic. In general, installing 3.0001_3 manually should do the job as well, for the time being.

I’ve been following this issue on the six apart pronet mailing list and found this areticle. my customers is asking me when I will fix the issues with DBD::mysql so I have to decide what to do and when to do it. six apart employees said that they expected cPanel servers that were applying automatic updates to pick up DBD::mysql 3.0001_3 and apply it today. but this is not happening to my server.

It has been discovered that downgrading only DBD::Mysql to 2.9006 will do the job. No need to downgrade DBI. Thanks for these instructions.

Note: The textarea above with the code in it is automatically linking the URLs. Please strip the A HREF tags before using it. Best idea is to use it as a reference. Most sysadmins will of course know what I’m talking about, for others, YMMV.

i think your script assumes a linux type os. it may be useful to mention that.

Thanks a bunch for this post. It gives me some “Failure” errors on my machine, but whatever it is, it works.
