Hi,

the problems began with a non startable 'Monitoring'.

Then I did a diagnosis and repair but it was unable to fix the following problems:

ERRORSome files packaged by Plesk have incorrect permissions.
FAILEDRepairing incorrect permissions fsmng failed: ERROR: Unable to retrieve repository configuration from autoinstaller: autoinstaller is busy

At least I tried to run the repair directly in the terminal and got these erooros:

Code:
root@134:/var/log# plesk repair fs

  To see more details, run the command in the verbose mode: plesk repair fs -verbose

What can I do now? I haven't found any solution. Any help/hint will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance an best regards,

Hello Sebahat,

thanks a lot for your help. I tried it and it seems as if the installer process was stopped otherwise, because i got the message that ther eis no plesk installer running. I was able to run all plesk repair tasks and it found some files with incorrect permissions.

Unfortunately that didn't solve my problems with the Monitoring. This is described in this task:


Thanks again and best regards,

Joska
 
OK - now it works. There was a strange configuration error on the server (a curlftpfs entry in fstab without installed curlftpfs) that prevented some services to work correctly (it ran surprisingly in maintenance mode).

After un- and reinstaation of Grafana and the Monitoring extension all runs as expected now.

Thanks a lot for your attention!
