Plesk Failure on 1and1

[misterm2012]

Hi

We have a dedicated server with 1and1 running Plesk 10.

About a month ago, following the latest Plesk update, Apache failed to start. We then contacted 1and1 who then raised a ticket with Plesk, who fixed the issue. We didn't receive any explanation as to why the error occurred.

Similar problems seem to occur about once every month. We have disabled auto update within Plesk, only to find that Plesk auto updates again. When we check, we can see auto update has been re-enabled.

Today (18th February 2012 at 1pm GMT), all of our client websites vanished. We looked at Plesk and could see that Apache had stopped running. We tried to restart Apache only to get the following error:

Error: Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by apache_control_adapter: Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to start
Service /etc/init.d/httpd failed to start ('--start', 'web')

Again, we contacted 1and1 dedicated server support and again they raised a ticket with Parallels.

These outages are costing our business around £300 a day and have already cost us 2 good paying clients.

Every time this happens, we are offered no explanation at all.

This problem was reported 8 hours, with no resolution offered. All of our websites are still down.

I wonder if it's a hardware problem that's causing this. Have you got a second server that you can upload a backup to and see if the same thing happens? Or is that not an option?

What type of server is it, and what OS is it running? Just curious. I have 5 machines with 1&1 in the UK since two years and have never experienced a problem like yours (however I've had other issues).

his error means that Plesk was not able to start Apache service for some reason. To diagnose the source of the problem perform the following steps:

Check if Apache is running:
# ps -ax | grep httpd

If not, try to start it from the command line:
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

and then
# /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

In some cases Apache configuration files rebuilding may help, try the command:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -a -v

Check /var/log/httpd/error_log for startup errors, 1488.


If apache does not start right after Plesk or SiteBuilder update, please try article 1336

If you see nothing in logs, it is possible that Apache cannot open log files because it opened too many file descriptors, check the article http://kb.parallels.com/article_41_260_en.html.

Next, try to debug Apache start process using "strace" utility. There are many articles in the Internet how to use this tool, for example:
