No access to ispconfig...

Hi

I installed newly ISPConfig a few weeks ago. All was OK.

This moorning I created a new site.

Using Konqueror (fish) I was uploading files to the folder /var/www/www.mysite.com/web

Suddenly all my sites shutdown in this way:

"Firefox can't find the server at www.any_site_I_have.com"
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at XX.XX.XX.XX:81."
Ping www.any_site_I_have.com: "ping: unknown host www.any_site_I_have.com"
ssh: connect to host XX.XX.XX.XX port 22: Connection timed out

I have Virtual Private Server, so using HyperVM I check the port status.
DNS:no
FTP:no
SSH:no

I "recover corrupted VPS" using HyperVM and then check newly port status.
DNS:no
FTP:no
SSH:yes

ssh: "Permission denied, please try again."

update my root password using HyperVM.

ssh -vvv XX.XX.XX.XX
.../...
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072 (stop here)

I tried to re-enable ssh using runing some command window within HyperVM:
rm -f /dev/null
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
/sbin/MAKEDEV tty
/sbin/MAKEDEV pty

ssh -vvv XX.XX.XX.XX
.../...
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072

Really I am lost.

Could someone help me ?

1. how to recover ssh acess ?
2. what to do then ?

Thanks a lot.

 

All of those "cannot allocate memory" errors suggest that there is a problem with your hosting server - way beyond just an ISPConfig issue. I'd say you have to call your hosting provider's support line and ask them to identify and fix the problem.

 

Thanks for quick reply

My host company says:

----------------------------------------------------------

That issue is coming from WITHIN your VM not outside of it... Immediately after re-boot you have your full free memory allocation which then disappears again shortly after reboot.

free -m from within your VM gives

bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Cannot allocate memory.

free -m on the host node gives:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3985 3300 684 0 414 1415
-/+ buffers/cache: 1471 2514
Swap: 1983 0 1983

As you can see, the host node has plenty of free ram, and other customer VPS are not experiencing 'cannot allocate memory issues'. This is a software issue somewhere within your VM, and certainly from my point of view it would appear that an OS reload will be required to fix it.
----------------------------------------------------------

Rebuid my OS means lost of data and very long time to configure all. Can anybody help me in anyway ?

Thanks

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?
What happens when you run

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

?

 

Thanks for your help Falko.

I have lost ssh to my VIRTUAL server. I can only run commands using a "command windows" within HyperVM. Any command I run is answered "bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Cannot allocate memory".

Take into account I am NEW with ISPConfig, (and linux also ...).

One month ago I had some similar problems (loose access to my VPS). My host company said the a password file got "corrupted". So I tried to change my VPS (I go to another host). I made a "clean"install of:

1.Services I can see in the Perfect Setup (CENTOS 5)
2.ISPConfig
3.Emacs.

I also installed and use the remote framework (I allow visitors to create emails accounts and web page within the remote framework). All runs fine, but it seems I make some mistake during perfect setup that leads to this end.

1. Do you think this can be related to the quota install? I "adapt" the perfect setup to the VPS environment using this:

http://wiki.vpslink.com/index.php?title=HOWTO:_CentOS_5_setup_for_LAMP_and_ISPconfig

There is no quota install shown here, and my /etc/fstab
have only one line:

none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0

2. Maybe this can be related to a funny bug VPS users have with yum update and disable ssh access. It is being solved with this commands:
----
rm -f /dev/null
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
/sbin/MAKEDEV tty
/sbin/MAKEDEV pty
----
(I put this in a file and call the file in /etc/rc.local to run it after each boot to allow ssh access...)

3. I also wonder if the problem can be related with a command I have in a php file:

ini_set( "memory_limit", "200M" );

4. Last I wonder if there may be any security problem using the remote framework (I use the apparently last version I downloaded in http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22087).

Sorry for this long reply, please remember I am new with all this, maybe I have done a stupid error during any step in the Perfect set up. I will not give up: I am now installing ISPConfig on a third VPS.

Thanks for your help anyway.

 

I asked my host provider to try to run this commands for me. I will post results if any.

I this commands on a new VPS on which I have done a similar "Perfect" Setup and instalation of ISPConfig. With this new instalation of ISPConfig all is running fine up to now (ssh access, ispconfig control panel access, webs...) I still not installed webmail neither remote framework.

Thanks for all.

 

My host provider had a look to my VPS and ran the commands Till ask for. This are emails I am receiving from them:

I just post all this for if you can see anything that clearly shows what I have done wrong. I will rebuild in a few days.

Thanks.

 

From what you posted I cannot see what's eating up your memory. Did you check your logs?
