[GerdSchrewe]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.45

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Plesk 18.45
Contabo V-Server with a few Wordpress und Typo3 installations.
Everything works fine, but during "Plesk diagnosis and repair" i get the following error message:

Der Vorgang ist fehlgeschlagen. Fehlermeldung: {"id":1,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -n","type":"progress","message":"Checking Linux system files","level":0} {"id":2,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -n","type":"error","message":"There are incorrect permissions on some items: \/var\/lock","level":1} {"id":3,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -n","type":"progress","message":"Checking virtual hosts' file system","level":0} {"id":3,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -n","type":"success","message":"Checking virtual hosts' file system","level":0}

When i try to repair, i get:

Der Vorgang ist fehlgeschlagen. Fehlermeldung: {"id":1,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"progress","message":"Checking Linux system files","level":0} {"id":2,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"error","message":"There are incorrect permissions on some items: \/var\/lock","level":1} {"id":3,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"progress","message":"Repairing incorrect permissions","level":2} {"id":3,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"failed","message":"Repairing incorrect permissions","level":2} {"id":3,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"failed","message":"Repairing incorrect permissions","level":2,"details":"fsmng failed: ERROR:Cannot fix %s: file exists and it is not a\nsymlink\n"} {"id":4,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"progress","message":"Checking virtual hosts' file system","level":0} {"id":4,"cmd":"plesk repair fs -y","type":"success","message":"Checking virtual hosts' file system","level":0}

Just ignore it or any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much.
Yes I've read the article but the error message is a little different than mine.
Do you think the way suggested in the article would still work.
I am not very familiar with SSH commands and therefore always very careful.

Can you try to run this command on the command line?

plesk repair fs -v

You should run it as root.

It doesn't do much except give you a better overview of the issue. The error message in the GUI is hard to read.

That's much easier to read than the message in the GUI.

If you follow the support article I mentioned above, you should be able to fix this.
