Issue Unable to reconfigure configuration

O

occinodo

Basic Pleskian
When I login to my Plesk control panel I get an error that there is an issue with the configuration files on my server. after clicking to regenerate all config files, i get this error:

Code:

I can't find any help that applies to my case and the issue came up at random.

Anyone who could advise how to solve this?

On line 60 of /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/server.conf the following information is present:
Code: 
<VirtualHost <ipv4 address>:7080 [<ipv6 address>]:7080 37.97.132.179:7080 <ipv4 address>:7080 [<ipv6 address>]:7080 :7080 127.0.0.1:7080>

Have you tried to fix it with

# plesk repair web

?
 
After I did that I was unable to start the apache server, rendering the whole server unusable and down.
I reverted to a back-up, the error above persists.

After a second try I found the following while running the suggested command.

Try to re-create this broken file /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/server.conf with:

After executing the commands your advised I still get the error as above.
 
Hi Igor,

No, I think it indeed has something to do with this, when I lookup the IP configuration page in Plesk I get one IP that says there is something wrong (however clicking on repair doesn't do anything) and clicking on Reread IP gives me the following error:
Fout: ifmng failed: SIOCSIFADDR: File exists /sbin/ifconfig eth0 add <ipv6 address>/48 exited with non-zero status 1

issueing service network reload over ssh causes the following error:
Code: 
# service network reload
Reloading network configuration (via systemctl):  Job for network.service invalid.
                                                           [FAILED]
 
I'd suggest you remove this IPv6 address from system, configure webserver, and then add it back.
 
I managed to get further with this issue, the IP address is removed and the only error i'm now still getting is the following:
Error: New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: nginx: [emerg] duplicate listen options for [2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::1]:80 in /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf:28 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed.

I already ran
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
as according to this article:
https://kb.plesk.com/en/114245

But this problem is still left over.
 
Hi occinodo,

the following commands should help you to solve your issue:

mv /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf.backup
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all​
 
Thanks, I tried that, but the same error remains. The reconfigure command doesn't give an error.
Also I noticed that many domains are unable to be resolved (not all) and port 25, 110 and 578 are not responding even though both dovecot and postfix are running.
 
Hi occinodo,

sorry to read, that you can't resolve your issue by now, but if "the same error remains", you still didn't remove the IPv6 correctly from your system, as suggested, because if the IPv6 would have been removed, then Plesk would not generate configuration files with an IPv6 - configuration in it.


Pls. post your content of the file:

Ubuntu/Debian - based systems:

/etc/network/interfaces​


CentOS/RHEL - based systems:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX​



... and pls. post the output of the command:

/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator --autoconfigure​
 
Code: 
NAME="System eth0"
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=37.97.132.172
GATEWAY=37.97.132.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::1/48
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a01:7c8:aabc::1
IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES="2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::3/48"

The problematic IP address 2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::2/48 is no longer there.

As service network reload continue to give [FAILED] I tried
Code: 
ifdown eth0 && sudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth0 && sudo ifup eth1
And after that I performed a reboot, DNS, SMTP and POP seems to be up and running again.

I still however expirience the following error:
Error: New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: nginx: [emerg] duplicate listen options for [2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::1]:80 in /etc/nginx/plesk.conf.d/server.conf:28 nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed. Search in KB
 
Hi occinodo,

actually, you can see from your error message, that not the "2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::2/48" is "problematic" here.....

Is there a reason, why you don't remove your IPv6 - adresses completely, just to be sure, that you are able to reconfigure all needed configuration files correctly??? You might consider to add possible IPv6 - adresses later on afterwards, but you really should first have working configuration files for your IPv4 - adresses. ;)
 
Alright that is strange, since it was before (it was listed as repair in the IP address configuration panel within Plesk, and I noticed it somehow got configured as a /0, as well that a 0.0.0.0 IP was present there)
Should I just remove 2a01:7c8:aabc:3ed::2/48 from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? Or rather from the IP address configuration panel (which tends to get stuck quite a lot with previous actions)
 
Hi occinodo,

you might do what ever you want, but I really think that you should fix one thing after the other. Having a complete set of working configuration files, will make it far easier for you, when you add additional IPv6 - adresses... so I would remove ALL IPv6 - adresses from your system, restart the network, or even restart you server afterwards and reconfigure ALL configuration files as suggested before.

Later on, if all works fine, add the IPv6 - adresses over the Plesk Control Panel, as documented in the official Plesk documentation:

 
Sorry, for the misunderstanding, I completely agree with you that it's best to make ipv4 working again before bothering about the ipv6
I just wanted to confirm what in your opinion would be the right way to proceed with removing the ipv6 addresses.
As many subscriptions are active with ipv6, I can't remove it (easily) from the Plesk control panel using the IP addresses page.
 
Hi, could anyone inform me of the advised way to remove the IPv6 addresses for this situation?

Thanks in advance

Instead of
Code: 
NAME="System eth0"
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=37.97.132.172
GATEWAY=37.97.132.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0


you could use:
Code: 
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=37.97.132.172
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
SCOPE="peer 37.97.132.1"

at "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0" you could use:
Code: 
ADDRESS0=0.0.0.0
NETMASK0=0.0.0.0
GATEWAY0=37.97.132.1

Pls. be aware, that this configuration can vary, depending to your hosting - provider. Pls. ask them about the absolute correct modification to avoid issues/failures/problems ( most hosting providers have FAQs about that as well, where they describe the usage! ).
