Fresh install - nginx and php-fpm don't start

[Iulian_Olaru]

Hey guys,
So i have just installed from Strato.nl, plesk 12 with centos 7.. all fresh. I have setup an unlimited subscription and this is what the errors for nginx and php-fpm are.

Please help

Unable to connect to Plesk Database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.soc

You should look at the MySQL log for the cause of MySQL failing to start. You may first stop mysql service and rename or delete current mysql.sock file and restart mysql service as possible solution.

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

As soon i stopped mariadb the mysql.sock file dissappear and when i started mariadb, using journalctl -xn command i am getting this:

I understand it has something to do with a password but where and how ? I don't want to ask why for a fresh install

 

[IgorG]

MariaDB is default SQL server on CentOS7 instead of MySQL. It looks like that there is mix of different packages now on this server.

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

I am kindly asking for a little bit of help IgorG. What is there to do in my situation ? This is what plesk has installed ...

 

[iiiuhkai]

what is status of Selinux? (# getenforce)
if it's enabled try to find some deny records in /var/log/messages

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

Selinus is enforcing and everything that i find in /var/log/messages are the quotes i posted above. It seems there might be a compatibility issue between plesk 12 and centos 7 ? what is the solution ?

 

[iiiuhkai]

hm... it definitely should contain selinux logs in case you have audit daemon disabled.
Try to temporary disable Selinux and restart services like mariadb, nginx, psa... to finally exclude Selinux from list of possible reasons.

I tried that just now and the problem is the same...

 

[iiiuhkai]

just to be sure - how did you disable it?
what is the output of getenforce after you have disabled it?

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

[root@h2376451 ~]# getenforce
Enforcing
[root@h2376451 ~]#

It seems that it didn't work like i did it. I replaced in /etc/sysconfig/selinux - SELINUX=disabled from SELINUX=enforcing

 

[iiiuhkai]

use
# setenforce 0

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

This seems to have fixed the problem with php-fpm! Thank you for this iiiuhkai. BUT! now nginx doesn't work. After using service nginx start, i am receiving the following:

[iiiuhkai]

what is the output of the following commands:
# systemctl stop nginx
# systemctl start nginx

what is in nginx error log after it?

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

[root@h2376451 ~]# systemctl stop nginx
[root@h2376451 ~]# systemctl start nginx
Job for nginx.service failed. See 'systemctl status nginx.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

And in /var/log/nginx/error.log i can only find this

2014/12/05 07:56:42 [alert] 24677#0: unlink() "/var/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied)

 

[IgorG]

What is output of

# getenforce

?

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

[root@h2376451 nginx]# getenforce
Permissive
[root@h2376451 nginx]#

This solved the php-fpm problem but now nginx is showing this in journalctl -xn

[iiiuhkai]

Check you have Nginx enabled in Plesk panel -> Tools&Settings -> Services Management
Enable it in Plesk
nginx will not start by # service nginx start if it's disabled in Plesk

 

[Iulian_Olaru]

Now it worked. I had Reverse Proxy Server (nginx) disabled because it gave an error when i tried to enable it. In another plesk 11, nginx is called in another way in Services Management.

I had things all mixed up. I thank you sincerely for your help and i hope you will keep up the good work.

 

[Marek_Bojarovic]

nginx and php-fpm not work not start plz update plesk.
