Vhosts...conf not synced to changes

Any changes made in the ISPCONFIG Administration area are not syncing to the Vhosts_ispconfig.conf file.

1) I removed a lot of directives from a domain on ISPCONFIG. The CONF still has those entries.
2) I added new entries for another domain. The CONF does not show those entries.
3) I disabled and re-enabled WEBALIZER because /stats/ aren't working on any websites. No changes were made to the CONF document.

How can I get ISPCONFIG to sync with the HTTPD configuration files once again?

 

What are the outputs of

Code:

ls -la /root/ispconfig/

and

Code:

ps aux | grep wconf

?

I looked at that thread and did your proposed steps:

Code:

dingle@its:/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts# /usr/sbin/httpd -t
Syntax error on line 187 of /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf:
Invalid command '...', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
dingle@its:/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts# 

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/web3/web/egroupware">
   AllowOverride FileInfo       
   ...
</Directory>  

However, the latest VHOST file doesn't have that anymore. It has the full egroupware directive. BUT, I deleted egroupware from the ISPCONFIG Apache Directives two weeks ago. It never updated to the Vhost configuration file.

Basically, ISPCONFIG is not doing three notable things:
1) It is not updating the Vhost config file.
2) It is not changing user's passwords.
3) It is not changing mail settings.

Nothing was altered setting-wise on the machine. It just stopped letting us modify stuff sometime this past month.

 

Please run

Code:

rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

Do you get any errors then?

 

No errors.

Code:

dingle@its:/home/dingle# rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
dingle@its:/home/dingle# rm -f /root/ispconfig/php/php
dingle@its:/home/dingle# rm -f /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
dingle@its:/home/dingle# 

 

Further, I changed the mail settings for a user. I changed the spam filter settings from 5.0 to 4.5 and changed the discard setting.

.user_prefs still shows 5.0.

The interface/database is not accessing/changing the files whatsoever.

 

Okay, http://how2forge.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13263&page=2 has a similar problem.

When I copy the ~ vhost file, it kicks back an error in httpd -t.

Unfortunately, when I try to update the file, i can't. ISPCONFIG's directive no longer has the specific entry as I deleted it a long time ago.

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/web3/web/egroupware">
   AllowOverride FileInfo
   ...
</Directory>

That kicks back the error in the ~ copy because of the ... entry. However that got there...

This all started happening (I think) from when I deleted the egroupware entry from the ISPCONFIG Control Panel.

Now, the Control Panel cannot modify any of the files. The user's passwords, mail files, directives, and everything else cannot be changed. So egroupware broke it.

How can I resolve this?

 

Does /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock exist again?

 

falko, the /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock exists again.

The problem is that AFTER I change the Options for any site, the file .ispconfig_lock is recreated after the settings are made.

ISPCONFIG will not delete ".ispconfig_lock" after it finishes updating configurations.

I have to manually delete the entry.

How can I get ISPCONFIG to delete the .ispconfig_lock file on its own again?

 

If /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock doesn't disappear automatically this means that the ISPConfig backend process is hanging somewhere.

Can you kill the ispconfig_wconf process...

Code:

kill -9 2414

... delete all locks...

Code:

rm -f /root/ispconfig/.ispconfig_lock
rm -f /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/.run
rm -f /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/.run2

... change anything in the ISPConfig interface and finally run

Code:

/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

? Does the last command give you any errors now?

 

Okay, the process had a different ID number than the 2414. Not a big deal though, I grep'ed and found it.

When running the end command, I get the following:

Code:

dingle@its:~/ispconfig# /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
sh: httpd: command not found
ls: /conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
sh: httpd: command not found

Segmentation fault
dingle@its:~/ispconfig# 

Just to note, I have reinstalled ISPCONFIG twice. This issue isn't being fixed by a simple re-installation. Nothing on the server has been manually edited. This started happening randomly after making updates on the ISPCONFIG Control Panel.

 

Also, along with the issue posted above.

ISPConfig Control Panel shows the following in all Recycle Bin's constantly:

Code:

 	  The following error occurred:  	
	
The system is currently updating the configuration files.
	 

Every day it has been that way no matter if I have restarted anything or not.


Also, I checked the settings in the MANAGEMENT tab. All is correct. I restarted ISPCONFIG. It took 3 minutes to complete the restart. Very laggy now.

Log shows:

All websites have the Apache 2 Test Page powered by CentOS crap now after restarting ISPCONFIG!

mess has really gone to hell here. The VHOSTS file is now empty. I didn't change a damn thing.

 

Okay I am sure the problems revolve around:

Code:

dingle@its:~/ispconfig# /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php
sh: httpd: command not found
ls: /conf.d/*.conf: No such file or directory
sh: httpd: command not found
start
sh: postmap: command not found
sh: httpd: command not found
Segmentation fault
dingle@its:~/ispconfig# /root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

If that can be resolved, yay.

Code:

The MANAGEMENT screen in ISPCONFIG has the right information for httpd locations. I can't find the actual path to HTTPD or POSTMAP or CONF.D in any of the configuration files that I know of.

Where can I get those to be set right?

 

Can you tell us what version of ISPConfig you are using ?

 

It seems as if your ISPConfig is currently using a wrong PATH variable and cannot find httpd therefore. Can you restart ISPConfig?

Code:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart

That should give it the PATH variable that you have in your current command line session.

Also, can you post the outputs of

Code:

which httpd

and

Code:

echo $PATH

?

 

Code:

dingle@its:/home/dingle# /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server restart
Shutting down ISPConfig system...
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl stop: httpd stopped
ISPConfig system stopped!
Starting ISPConfig system...
/root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd started
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

Code:

dingle@its:/home/dingle# which httpd
httpd: Command not found

.

Code:

dingle@its:/home/dingle# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
dingle@its:/home/dingle# 

And the relevant location of the daemon, as I would take it to be.

Code:

dingle@its:/home/dingle# whereis httpd
httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd.worker /usr/sbin/httpd.event /usr/sbin/httpd /etc/httpd /usr/lib/httpd /usr/include/httpd /usr/share/man/man8/httpd.8.gz
dingle@its:/home/dingle# 

 

I have tried every thing possible in the archives of HOWTOFORGE. Nothing can tell me where to find these path variables to fix the writeconf problem. My server is really screwed up now since it seems to not apply these frigging updates.

I reinstalled ISPCONFIG completely two days ago. Uninstall/reinstall Did not fix it. I did the ./setup for updating twice today. It has not solved it.

This just started happening without any major change to the server. Yum updates install every month, but it doesn't look like any of those should have affected this.

Please, any help would be so appreciated.

There is an issue with the path to httpd, postmap, and so forth.
