Watchdog CRON run error

Christopher McBride

Hi,

I've installed the latest version of Plesk 9.3 on a CentOS x86_64 box with all updates installed.

Mostly everything is working as expected, but each night when the Watchdog task runs, I get three failure emails:

Warning: require_once(modules/watchdog/wdcplib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-events on line 4

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'modules/watchdog/wdcplib.php' (include_path='.:') in /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-events on line 4

The same for:
/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/pack-sysstats and
/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-sysstats

wdcplib.php is not located in /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog, but is in /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/watchdog/wdcplib.php

Has anyone else came across this?
 
Try to reinstall psa-watchdog package. Remove it first with

rpm -e psa-watchdog

and install it back with

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller
 
Still the same error occurs.

I believe the problem is that the watchdog is simply looking in the wrong directory for wdcplib.php.

It should be looking in /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/watchdog/, but it is being run from /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog which, when using the relative path shown in the error, it's failing as it can't find it.


Would a simple symlink work?
 
Here is default installation Plesk 9.3.0 to Centos 5 x86_64 server:

Try to create symlink there and update thread with result, please.
 
It should be from /etc/cron.daily/50plesk-daily

# install_autoreport daily
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/report/autoreport.php --auto daily >/dev/null 2>&1

Still the same three error emails overnight after creating the symlink in /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog

I've tried running /etc/cron.daily/50plesk-daily and /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/report/autoreport.php --auto daily >/dev/null 2>&1 independantly, but the first seems to be unresponsive and I ended up killing it after 15 minutes, the second just executes with no errors or emails.
 
Hi Igor - I'm still recieving these failure emails each night.

Rather than turn the watchdog off, I would really like the error fixed.

Warning: require_once(modules/watchdog/wdcplib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-sysstats on line 4

Can you offer any further advice please?
 
Do you really have file /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/modules/watchdog/wdcplib.php there? Did you tried completely reinstall psa-watchdog package?
 
Yes - reinstalling was the first thing you suggested and the same problem occurred.

The file is in the correct directory:

Well. Not sure how can I help without access to server and detailed investigation. Therefore I can suggest only contact support team.
 
OK - I've given in to the fact that I can't get it working - and don't particularly want to pay for support for a non-required feature.

Can you advise how to turn these tasks off?

I have already disabled the scheduled taks for the root user running:

/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-sysstats
/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/pack-sysstats day
/usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-events

However, the still ran last night and send the error emails!


Thanks
