What do you have in that file? If it exists, back it up and replace the content with:

cat /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/task-manager.yml

concurrency:
  limits:
    # Maximum number of concurrent tasks
    # This limit will not be exceeded regardless of concurrency rules configuration below
    #total: 100
  tags:
    # Concurrency rules
    # Each rule is a mapping of a tag or a tag pattern to an integer limit value.
    # Tag patterns include '*' symbols which match any tag substring.
    # Limit value of -1 means "unlimited", any other limit value ensures that no more
    # than that many tasks with matching tags in their concurrency rules are executed
    # concurrently.
    # Any tag not configured here is treated as having limit value of 1 (no concurrency).

If it's missing, create an empty file with the above content.

Hi! In addition to the previous reply, there should be "/opt/psa/admin/conf/task-manager.yml.sample" file where you can get the content above.
Also, depending on the errors in "/var/log/plesk/task-manager.log", there can be other causes of the missing/corrupted file (assuming that you don't just see that fact on the terminal but somewhere in the logs or error message appears). So, I'd suggest checking dbus-related errors (e.g. "Cannot connect to systemd dbus: dial unix /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connect: no such file or directory") - they mean that the dbus service is not running properly and simple "systemctl restart dbus.socket" + "systemctl restart plesk-task-manager" can help. The other probable cause is that "/var/log/plesk/task-manager.log" may have incorrect permissions/ownership (you'll see "/run/plesk-task-manager/api.sock"-related messages in the log). "/var/log/plesk/task-manager.log" should look like (don't forget to restart task manager service if you are willing to change smth):
# ls -lah /var/log/plesk/task-manager.log
-rw-r----- 1 psaadm psaadm 12K Feb 17 11:18 /var/log/plesk/task-manager.log

Thanks I have the task-manager.yml. as above. So that's fine. I checked the task-manager.log it says

ERROR 2025/02/17 00:33:28 Failed to update DB schema: unable to open database file: permission denied

So what should I do now
