• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Resolved Seafile running- but "Failed to login: Internal server error" when trying to log in

Hi there,

all of the sudden yesterday our seafile server just stopped working- it got installed alongside Plesk Premium mail, however all of the sudden our clients can't log in anymore. I've restarted the server multiple times, each service for each domain, no errors, the service is running (confirmed with systemctl status seafile@XXXX.service", however the seahub-page is showing a "Internal server error", aswell as the client app.

How can I find out why it's not working?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi @DenizGelion, thank you for posting. Could you please check the log entries in /var/www/vhosts/<your domain>/logs/seahub.log for more details on the error?
 
Hi Peter,

thanks for the quick reply- here are the results of both seahub.log and seafile.log where it seems a bit fishy:

seahub.log:
This one was too big for the forum to handle, so I uploaded it here: 2023-08-16 11:44:45,994 [ERROR] django.request:132 handle_uncaught_exception Int - Pastebin.com

So it looks like it's not communicating with the database correctly- but I'm not quite sure how and why not.
 
Reinstalling the extension would maybe help, but I see no option for that within Plesk- is there a workaround for this?
 
Actually scratch everything, I've deleted both log files, restarted the services, and got fresh files with current data:

seafile.log
[08/16/23 16:16:01] socket file exists, delete it anyway [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(181): fileserver: worker_threads = 10 [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(196): fileserver: fixed_block_size = 8388608 [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(211): fileserver: web_token_expire_time = 3600 [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(226): fileserver: max_indexing_threads = 1 [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(241): fileserver: max_index_processing_threads= 3 [08/16/23 16:16:02] http-server.c(263): fileserver: cluster_shared_temp_file_mode = 600

seahub.log is actually empty. I have no idea why it suddenly stopped working.

I've rechecked the services, and altough Plesk states it's running, I couldn't find the proper running process. Instead via htop I found a bunch of seafile server processes associated to domains, that do not even have Plesk Premium Email active, let alone seafile. Something seems to be going horribly wrong somewhere.

I could find a running seafile and seahub service for our own domain with the latest output being:

At the same time I managed to find the service, that isn't running, from my customer that is complaining:

I have absolutely no clue what is going on all of the sudden...
 
Uninstalling Plesk Premium Email has immediately fixed the issue. Attempting to install Plesk Premium Email again now.

I have managed to reinstall everything successfully, thank god nothing broke in the process. No idea what caused this, but I could safely uninstall and reinstall Plesk Premium Mail.
 
I think the root cause is that the service cannot connect to the database, so it is probably not the service, but a change brought about to the database server, e.g. a configuration change or upgrade?

But with all the follow-up actions this is now impossible to proof. I understand that the issue has been solved by reinstalling Plesk Premium EMail, is that correct?
 
Hi Peter,

yes, sadly I had to do something quickly because people (obviously) wanted their access back asap. All I can say is, that besides regular Plesk updates, there have been lately no manual changes in any configuration files on the server. But yes, removing and re-adding Plesk Premium Email has resolved this issue. All files are still there, so this has not affected anyone.
