    Hi,
    My server has been migrated some time ago by the VPS hosting provider. Everything looked okay after the migration apart from getting the following error when trying to modify a website config through ISPConfig admin.
    "Reason for Apache restart failure: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1"
    Not seeing any error apart from this.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    My System is
    - Debian 8
    - Apache 2.4.10
    - Ispconfig 3.0.5.4p1

    Thanks!

    hmm.... still having this issue. Updated to the latest version Ispconfig 3.0.5.4p9 today, reconfigured all services but no luck. Still getting the same error, even came across in the update process.

    Reconfigure Crontab? (yes,no) [yes]:

    Updating Crontab
    Restarting services ...

    Ispconfig is probably detecting that you have systemd, when in fact you're using sysvinit. Eg. on a jessie server which originally had systemd but I switched to sysvinit (required by the openvz 2.6 kernel it's running) I see that error here, though sysvinit is working fine:

    Code:
    root@host:~# systemctl status postfix
    Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1
    
    root@host:~# service postfix status
    [ ok ] postfix is running.
    
    I don't know offhand what ispconfig uses to detect one system or the other (I'm not running ispconfig on the above server), but maybe there are some systemd related packages you could remove/cleanup? Make a backup first before messing too much with your boot process. :)

    Thanks Jesse!
    You were right. It is turned out that I'm using init, so that is why getting the error message.
    I still have one question :) Any idea how do I get this right in ISPConfig? So what do I need change to get ISPConfig to use init when reconfiguring services?
    Any help would be appreciated!
