Resolved Sooo I broke my server

[Scared Donut]

Hey guys,

I dun goofed and broke my server - I can't access my Plesk panel after trying to install a VNC server.

I followed these instructions: How to Install and Configure VNC Server on Centos 8 / RHEL 8 after the reboot step I couldn't access the Plesk panel anymore.

I've also noticed that PHP FastCGI doesn't start either:

lines 1-16/16 (END)

I've tried this to resolve the above but it didn't appear to help: Plesk PHP-FPM service(s) fail to start during reboot on systemd servers: No pool defined

I am out of ideas and I'd appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you!

First of all, try to start psa service with

# service psa start

And check possible error messages in /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log and /var/log/sw-cp-server/sw-engine.log if Plesk not started successfully.

Thank you for the quick reply. starting psa tells me that everything is already running.

error logs - no errors whatsoever after server restart.

sw-engine has this:

What kind of error do you have when you try login to Plesk server as an admin user?

I can't access the panel at all. Error 523 server is unreachable.

Have you tried to fix it with

# plesk repair installation

?

Just did it, no luck. Web panel is still down and can't access any of the websites.
edit:
It was the firewall.
Serviced firewalld stop fixed it.
