Issue Strange Apache Log Entry

[Sysop]

I noticed just now looking at the logs for one the domains I manage there's an entry that looks like this:

Anyone have an idea of what that's all about?

It might be a corrupted entry that was done while the server crashed. This sometimes leaves strange artifacts in files.

I noticed similar log as well. Using the latest Plesk Version 18.0.34

Server OS: CentOS

My server never crashed though.

I'd suggest checking the filesystem.

I'd suggest checking the filesystem.

Checking it for what exactly?

 

[IgorG]

Checking it for what exactly?

For filesystem corruption.

 

[Sysop]

For filesystem corruption.

Is there a standard Plesk way or suggested method of doing what you recommend?

 

[IgorG]

I mean general Linux tools like fsck.

Hello,

Did you solve your problem ?

Thx

Checked the filesystem with fsck and everything was fine. Any other suggestions?

No. unfortunately not.

EDITED -

Experiencing the same issue.

To me this seems to be happening after a Apache process gets Killed for some reason (eg - Server running out of memory)

You can remove the /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain_name>/access_ssl_log.processed files

Then it will solve the issue until the Apache process gets Killed again.

I have the same problem. I have also deleted this file, but it did not bring any success.
Can anyone help?

 

[yaswaka]

I have the same problem.
I am running two domains.
Only one of the domains has strange logs.
Also, when I search the logs in the terminal using the search word "04/Jun", no strange logs appear.

I would like to solve this problem.

Also, when I search the logs in the terminal using the search word "04/Jun", no strange logs appear.

That's because the logs use "06-04", not "04/Jun".

 

[yaswaka]

That's because the logs use "06-04", not "04/Jun".

The log format of apache is "04/Jun", not "06-04". So I don't think it is wrong.

 

[yaswaka]

There is not the strange apache log today.
I think there was something wrong with the ownership of the file.
I didn't touch it, though.
The ownership of the apache logs by domain today is "root:root".
I remember that was not "root:root" when the strange logs were occurring.

I just opened another thread for this ! didn't notice it's being a trending issue !
Started to get such entries recently, it never happened for years.. something is odd happening

Tried emptying the log file.. no use

Those entries aren't logged in the files.. they just appear in the log viewer

@yaswaka mine is root:root I remember this is how it is supposed to be.. still it's strange that those entries aren't being logged anyways.. they just show in the log viewer

plesk support

This may be a workaround.
However, I don't know because I haven't changed anything and I haven't seen any strange logs today.

Thank you, at least it's confirmed as a bug, that's relieving enough

I've also checked, indeed it seems it has gone.. I think Plesk team is doing something
