cpanel: mysql database size 0MB

cPanel sometimes displays the mysql database size as 0MB in the Mysql Databases section of a client and the reason is the database cache file of the user is not updated.

To make sure cPanel displays the correct database size, follow the below steps:

1) SSH to the server and edit the cpanel.config file

# pico /var/cpanel/cpanel.config

search for

disk_usage_include_sqldbs=0

and change to

disk_usage_include_sqldbs=1

If the parameter is not present, add it. Save the file and execute the following command:

# /scripts/update_db_cache

OR

2) Login to the WHM, goto SQL section under Tweak Settings and enable the following option:

When displaying disk usage in cpanel/WHM include Postgresql and MySQL.

This will fix the issue.
