Resolved Suddenly getting ASL errors today

[PSi_101]

Just today i'm getting mails from /etc/cron.hourly/asl with the following content

/etc/cron.hourly/asl:
Error: ASL has not been configured
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/asl exited with return code 1

I think this is because /etc/asl/config is empty but i'm not sure if this was a recent change brought in by some update?

Has anyone else started seeing this too?
I'm running Plesk 12.5 on Debian 7

Actually nevermind, I found this https://talk.plesk.com/threads/error-asl-has-not-been-configured.338188/
I'll try those suggestions first.

Keep us in the loop - for me these didn't work and I received this cron error for the first time today as well.

/etc/cron.hourly/asl:
Error: ASL has not been configured
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/asl exited with return code 1​

 

[PSi_101]

Maybe i'll mark this as unsolved because the link didn't help for me either. I think the fact that it happened for the first time today means something.

 

[Pandur2000]

So, the solution to reinstall modsecurity didn't help.
I think the problem occurs due to the empty config.
Anyone knows the Plesk standard ASL config?

 

[PSi_101]

There's a file in /etc/asl named config.dpkg-dist, but i'm not sure if this is a Plesk config or just a generic one that comes with the aum package. I tried cp'ing that file to config but it still throws the error. I'm a bit hesitant to set CONFIGURED="yes" because it specifically says not to modify in the line above it.
eg
# Master configuration flag. Do not modify
CONFIGURED="no"

We got the same issue here today. Started three hours ago. Tried removing/reinstalling mod_security, don't know if it worked yet.

Having the same issue:

OS‪Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS‬
Plesk version12.5.30
Update #43, last updated at Aug 10, 2016 09:55 AM (GMT+1)

There is an article here that addresses this, however not related to Plesk, just Atomic:

https://wiki.atomicorp.com/wiki/ind...rly.2Fasl:_Error:_ASL_has_not_been_configured

I don't want to start messing things up more so if anybody can do something with this...

Hi,

I've got the same Errors since this Morning ....

This line
/var/asl/bin/update_config.pl > /etc/asl/config
should generate the missing File ( File wasn't missing in my case, but had a size of 1 Byte)

but the last line tells

# Master configuration flag. Do not modify
CONFIGURED="no"

and a /etc/cron.daily/asl generates still the same error ...

There must be a config file any where else, where this Flag should be changed ...

Same problem here. Started at 03.26 AM (UTC +1) and then every hour.
Plesk updated to #43 at 02.33 AM so probably the updated messed something up...

Ubuntu 14.04.4
12.5.30 Update #43, last updated at Aug 10, 2016 02:33 AM

Yeah, Plesk updated here as well this morning to #43 and according to the config file info, it was modified around the same time.

Same here. Started this morning - PLESK updated to 12.0.18 Update #89 two days ago.

I found an old config file under
/var/asl/rbc/etc/asl/config

with a timestamp from this night .... ( Name is config.1470869110)
in this Directory are 2 files, the newer one has
CONFIGURED="yes"

in it, so I copied this one over to /etc/asl/config

called /etc/cron.daily/asl

no Errors ....

That worked for me, too. Nice catch!
Update: Nope,
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/asl exited with return code 127

Corrected:That worked for me Thanks!
Unfortunately that wasn't the solution!

I strongly recommend to read the article https://talk.plesk.com/threads/suddenly-getting-asl-errors-today.338907/page-2#post-806035

@atomicturtle could you check this issue from your side? Thanks.

Worked here too, thanks...

/etc/cron.hourly/asl does still not work. Exit code 127. Daily works, though.
