Semaphore error on everything!

ShoneA

Basic Pleskian
This is totally my fault. We were trying to diagnose a network glitches (long story short) I ended up running killall -9 php to close down 4 php processes that I thought were knocking our office offline (they weren't). Ever since then our control panel wont load, and any Plesk command line operations we run (including the installer/updater I think) result in an "unable to acquire semaphore" error. Is there a way to fix this via some sort of command or do I HAVE to pay Plesk support to fix it? Thanks.

This is our control panel login error:

ERROR: PleskFatalException
Up Level

EDIT: I'm not seeing any semaphore related errors in the autoinstaller log file. Maybe it's possible to do a full upgrade of the panel? I might just break it more though. Everything is operational except for the panel itself right now.

Oh yeah, I've tried some basic things such as:

- Restarting PSA
- Rebooting the server
- Installing Micro-updates (I think they were successful but I can't remember for sure.)
 
The bootstrapper repair doesn't seem to return anything:

srv:/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp10.13.4-bootstrapper # /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp10.13.4-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair
srv:/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp10.13.4-bootstrapper #

No log file is returned in the /tmp directory either to find out why this has happened...

I got the crazy idea to try the Plesk 11 bootstrapper repair that for some reason exists on this server, and it actually did things but didn't fix our errors:

srv:/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp11.0.9-bootstrapper # dir
