mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/www/clients/client1/test’: Operation not permitted No hard drive failure and it is specific to /var/www/clients/client1 just checked I can create test directories in / /var /var/www /var/www/clients
Ok, so here we have the issue, there is no site because no folders can be created on the hard disk by the root user. This means there is no issue in ISPConfig, it's a general server problem. Now we have to find out what's wrong with the folder or hard disk or mount point. please run these commands: lsattr /var/www/clients/ lsattr /var/www/ mount -l df -h

Seems as if you added the immutable attribute to the client1 directory. run: chattr -i /var/www/clients/client1 and then change something in the website in ispconfig, save it, run server.sh and check if the folders are created now.
Brilliant! Folders and website are created as normal. Thanks a million. I see the date on the client1 directory was the time I last had problems, so it must have been me that made that change. Hopefully I can keep running now without troubling your time again. Thanks to both yourself and Thom
