[SOLVED] no website directory or syslink created

I have a really big problem. When I tried to create a new website with a client it just says that and it does not do anything for more than an hour.

The following changes are not yet populated to all servers:

• Delete website: 1
• Create new website: 1
• Update website settings: 1

Storing updates can take up to one minute. Please be patient.

I tried to make a website as admin and nothing. It shows it in ispconfig under website panel but it does not create a dir or syslink. I don't find any error logs that would tell me the problem.

 

OK now i'm getting an error: - DEBUG - There is already an instance of server.php running. Exiting.
I found that this could be a so called stale lock error and that i should run the command:
rm -f /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock

I've got it from this page https://ma.juii.net/blog/fix-ispconfig-job-queue so I don't know if it's legit because I don't like deleting files that I don't know?

 

Thanks! After deleting it and running /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh everything was created.

 

There is still a problem! Everytime that I create a website I get the error - DEBUG - There is already an instance of server.php running. Exiting. and I have to delete the lock file manually?! I'm running ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p9 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server.

 

I've found something wierd in /var/log/syslog

I'm doing by the instructions.
This time I got the output:
root@web:/var/log# rm -f /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock
root@web:/var/log# /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh

finished.

 

ok... after i did the instructions again i got:

yeah but everytime I make a new website it locks and i have to manually remove the lock. What about that in syslog i get wrong date and time when the cronjob starts? I posted the output a few posts above.

 

The problem was that my NAS crashed and there were cronjobs that tried to create backups on it. The NAS couldnt be remountet nor the proccesses killed that were trying to remount it. So after a restart everything is working again.
