Filer Package XMLRPC Sync error

[JeGr]

Hi,

we updated our Lab Cluster to 23.01 Plus and had a huge error count after looking at the 2nd firewall.

Turns out it seems Filer doesn't sync XMLRPC nicely in 23.01 anymore. I'd guess due to some PHP switch-aroos there's errors popping up:

With current Plus-23.01 on both nodes and updated with all patches situation is:

• edit a file in filer on primary node
• save

Effects that happen: saving on the pri node takes a really long time and runs into timeouts:

A communications error occurred while attempting to call XMLRPC method exec_php: Request timed out due to default_socket_timeout php.ini setting @ 2023-05-20 11:33:27

while on the 2nd node you get a stack trace:

I have to disable sync for now so to not have sync issues all the time.

Same here after updating 2.6.0 to 2.7.0

@JeGr I was able to fix it by changing line 221 in /usr/local/pkg/filer.inc from:

$execcmd .= "sync_package_filer();";

to

$execcmd .= "filer_sync();";
