Issue Joomla Toolkit - Scan fails

[Peter_S]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.79 Update #7

I I have several Joomla instances on my server. When I search for instances, I get the following message:
Die Aufgabe "ext-joomla-toolkit-task\scan" ist fehlgeschlagen. filemng: Failed to change directory to '/var/www/vhosts/xxx.xx/httpdocs/joomla': No such file or directory System error 2: No such file or directory

The directory no longer exists; it was deleted earlier. Is there a cache or something else causing this? What can I do?

I solved it. The instance was "disconnected" in Joomla Toolkit. I activated it and restored the Joomla folders and database. Now the scan produce following message:
Die Aufgabe "ext-joomla-toolkit-task\scan" ist fehlgeschlagen.

Hi, @Peter_S . There is a registered bug EXTPLESK-14115 with similar symptoms, which should be fixed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80. The issue is caused by an extension registered in the Joomla site's database (jos_extensions / #__extensions table), which has an invalid manifest_cache value (e.g. the literal string false instead of valid JSON), and no matching extension files remain on disk.

Could you please try querying the DB to confirm if that's also the issue in your case:

mysql -h localhost -u <db_user> -p'<db_password>' <db_name> -e "
SELECT extension_id, name, type, element, manifest_cache
FROM jos_extensions
WHERE manifest_cache = ''
  OR manifest_cache IS NULL
  OR manifest_cache NOT LIKE '%\"description\"%';
"
