Past five days I've been using ISPConfig3 on a virtualbox server without major problems. This included many OS reinstalls (Debian&Ubuntu) and this problem never happened. On production server when I create a new client, website and ftp-account, ISPConfig3 does not create /var/www/clients/ directory at all. Which means /clientX/webX directories don't appear either. Then I checked /etc/apache2/sites-available, ISPConfig3 has not created virtualhosts either. I tried uninstall.php script and reinstalled ISPConfig3, didn't help. What's wrong and how I can fix this? I need to fix this ASAP as I have a deadline. Help, please. Thank you.
In fact I noticed that monitor shows no data whatseover on the server, no cpu info, raid state, server load, disk usage, memory usage, services or any of the logs. This is probably related. What exactly is wrong here?
I've found out what caused the problem! See this bug report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/238755 Seems to be fixed now. Edit: In other words, cron was bugging out because root wasn't working due to a bug in Debian/Ubuntu. sudo passwd --unlock root sudo usermod --lock root fixes the problem and cron works again.
it happened the same to me, so i did what you say: sudo passwd --unlock root sudo usermod --lock root But now i try to login as root and i don't get. How can i recover from that? How can i unlock? Thanks in advance.
