BILLmanager 5 Documentation

Upgrade to MariaDB 10.3

Upgrading to MariaDB 10.3 on the server with BILLmanager can lead to issues in the billing panel. To resolve the issues, change the SQL operating mode: 

  1. Connect to the server with BILLmanager through SSH with the superuser permissions (root per default). 
  2. Add the string sql-mode="" into the section [mysqld] of the MariaDB configuration file/etc/my.cnf.
  3. Restart MariaDB: 

    systemctl restart mariadb
  4. Restart BILLmanager: 

    /usr/local/mgr5/sbin/mgrctl -m billmgr exit
  5. Upload a list of time zone:

    mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql mysql

Example of the MariaDB configuration after modification: 

The my.cnf file
[mysqld]
sql-mode=""
local-infile=0
innodb_file_per_table = 1
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
# Settings user and group are ignored when systemd is used.
# If you need to run mysqld under a different user or group,
# customize your systemd unit file for mariadb according to the
# instructions in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
