Updated, now SQL, Apache and Postfix fail to start on boot

Pretty much the title. Systemctl says they are enabled. No errors are thrown, they just don't start. Also after the update all of Wordpress sites can't send mail as they are complaining about the mail function being disabled... This is not the case though, as I can send mail from a php snippet on the command line. I am at a bit of a loss as to what is going on. Please find versions below, logs available on request.

Updated what?

How are you starting them?

 

Hey Taleman,
I am starting them manually, they do not start on boot.
I updated the entire OS....
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

as for the wordpress issue, i am still troubleshooting that as well.

 

There were none... .they just didn't come up... I have a stop gap solution in production, having rc.local starting them at the moment. The more pressing issue is the wordpress mail not being sent.

PHP's mail() function works properly, i have a PHP snippet that will send mail from the CLI, so not sure why WP is complaining.

 

Mail may not be sent because some service is not running. It is surprising there would not be any message anywhere if some service fails to start.
Have you tried

Code:

systemctl --state=failed

Then for those services that command lists as failed, for example mariadb do

Code:

systemctl status mariadb.service

and follow the instructions if that tells you how to get more information.
And check again the log files for the failed services.

 

Please redo the relevant perfect server tutorial for the new version of your OS. Make sure all softwares for it is properly installed. Then update ISPConfig and reconfigire all of its services.
