Plesk shut down and wont start again - where to start?

DReffects

Basic Pleskian
hey guys,

had the server up and running fine until ive descided to run a backup and then download the backup. during the download the transfer suddenly aborted and plesk was gone.

restarting with /etc/init.d/psa start results in

Starting xinetd service... done
Starting named service... done
Starting mysqld service... done
Starting postgresql service... done
Starting psa-spamassassin service... done
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started
Starting mail handlers tmpfs storage
Starting Plesk... failed
Starting drwebd service... failed

Unfortunately i have no idea where to start - are there logfiles of sorts? This really comes at a bad time as the server was supposed to go live in well... about 40 minutes :(

any help is highly appreciated!

:)
 
Try to find reason of failed start in sw-cp-server error log - /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log
