Hello,

All shared cPanel servers will get PHP, MySQL and cPanel theme components upgraded starting Tuesday July 6th 2010. Pending updates with exact dates and server names and their completions will be announced here. The upgrade details are as follows.

First, MySQL will be updated from 5.0 to 5.1 series to keep the most currently available version for cPanel for our customers. We have backups on hand for all databases in the event of any issues with the upgrade process.

Please note MySQL prior to 5.1 has limited usernames to 16 characters. In those versions of MySQL, when a login username longer than 16 characters is sent to the server it is silently truncated to the 16 characters limit. In MySQL 5.1, all characters submitted for the username are checked during authentication. This change means that any user submitting more than 16 characters as their login username will fail to authenticate once the server is upgraded. To ensure the upgrade goes smoothly for you, if your sites use database logins longer than 16 characters, please correct database connection details to only send the first 16 characters of the current login usernames by truncating them.

Next, we will be recompiling Apache and PHP to make PHP 5 the default on the server rather than PHP 4. This change should be unnoticeable other than those who are using the path to PHP for cron jobs. If you are, please note that the new path will be the following for PHP 4 binaries:

/usr/local/php4/bin/php

PHP 5 will be also updated to the 5.2.13 version during this process.

Finally, we will be updating the theme on the server. The new theme will allow us to provide compatibility with the newest cPanel 11.25.1 version and offer additional options that the older theme did not provide.

If you have any questions about these changes, please contact support@lunarpages.com

Thank you,
Lunarpages Webhosting System Administrator Team
