Jobqueue not processing on new install

Hi,
I installed ispconfig using the perfect install on Debian 8, I've installed this many times before and have never had problems, but this time nothing in the jobqueue is being processed. Also all my logs and server status in the monitor tab is empty. The only thing I changed was to put nginx on instead of Apache. Ispconfig runs, but anything I try to do gets stuck in the jobqueue. What can I do to fix this? I searched the forums but most job queue questions not new installs. Thanks

 

hm, it seems the job queues are either taking a long time to run or don't run until after I reboot the server. I think it's when I reboot the server. Is there any logs I can check to see why this is the case? Thanks

Edit : it looks like the queue ran after I ran these commands I got from another post

root@server1:~# rm -f /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock
root@server1:~# /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.php

After I run the second command, it seems to have a lot of errors. I've attached the log.

 

Ok got ride of all the errors after doing this :
apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader

but the jobqueue is still not processing unless I delete the lock file and restart ispconfig. Suggestions?

 

Yup, it looks like the jobqueue only runs when I restart ispconfig. I enabled debug mode and run, but doesn't look like any errors. Here is what restarting ispconfig looks like.. This is with 1 changed to the firewall in the queue. If nothing in the queue it just says "finished" when I restart it.

Code:

root@server1:~# /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh
/usr/bin/fail2ban-client
/sbin/iptables
/sbin/ip6tables
finished.

 

apt-get install e2fsprogs
apt-get remove php5-snmp
is cron running?

 

Hm, I assumed it was because the folder /etc/cron.d exists but I checked in /etc/init.d and don't see any cron reference.
What's the best way to check if it's running? And if it's not installed, what should I do to install it and get it running correctly with ispconfig? Thanks so much.

 

service cron status
to install cron: apt-get install cron

if cron was not installed during the ispconfig-installation, you must add the cronjobs to root`s crontab

 

Thanks for the quick replay. Really appreciate it, but I'm not sure how to "add the cronjobs to root's crontab" Would I be better off to just reinstall after installing cron and e2fsprogs since they seem to be missing from my vps template?

 

You can run update.php from the install-dir instead of install.php. This will add the cronjob. Or open the crontab as root: crontab -e and make sure, you have these entries:

Code:

* * * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done
30 00 * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done

 

Thanks so much for your help guys. Originally I did the crontab -e and added the lines that florian030 said, and that worked already. The jobqueue started running. However since Till gave the update instructions, I thought I'd do that to clean things up, and after I did that I noticed that there are actually 3 extra lines in the crontab file.

Code:

* * * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done
30 00 * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done
0 0 * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/create_daily_nginx_access_logs.sh &> /dev/null

So I guess that extra line maybe for only nginx installs.
