Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Scheduled Backup Stopped Working
Feb 12, 2015
on one of our Plesk-Servers (Plesk 12.0.18 Update 34 on Debian 7.6) the scheduled backup stopped working. Scheduled Backup is active in Backup-Manager, but it's not executed.
I am running Plesk 12 on CentOS 7 64bit. I have set up the server backup instead of the website backup as I assume that will backup all server settings, as well as the website? I am running Plesk Web Admin Edition.
I have the backup set to run and dump into Personal FTP, but it does not run. If I run the backup manually, everything works great, but the scheduled backups don't work.
workaround 1) rpm -q --scripts psa-backup-manager | sed 1d | sh 2) /etc/init.d/crond restart
my error message with CentOS 5.8, Plesk 11.0.9 MU#4 sh: line 2315: syntax error near unexpected token `(' sh: line 2315: `preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):'
/etc/cron.d/plesk-backup-manager is created
why do not work after you upgrade the backup cronjobs?
I'm having troubles getting the global scheduled backup task to work at Home > Tools & Settings >Backup Manager > Server Repository.
At a subscription the scheduled backup works how it should.
Home > Subscriptions > example.com > Websites & Domains > Server Repository
The problem is as follows: When I set the scheduled task at a specific time example 00:00 it does not run at all. But when I just do "Create a backup" it does work...
I've done [URL] .... and everything in here is configured how it should be.
This is my configuration for scheduled task:
Cronjob is placed in : /etc/cron.d/plesk-backup-manager-task
Also did run: rpm -q --scripts psa-backup-manager | sed 1d | sh
This problem is only in the global backup configuration.
Automatic Parallels Plesk. 12.0.18 has stopped working but no solution from plesk yet? I think every user has the same problem. Many people asked the same question but no solution/answer from plesk.
I am getting this error after installing the AfterLogic WebMail Pro_7 app on a domain.
I removed the app but AfterLogic still appears in the list of available Webmail options. I am getting the error even after changing all my domains to use Roundcube.
backup_info_1406131330.xml: Line 423 error: Element 'external-webmail': This element is not expected.
My backups since the day I installed that app are no longer valid.
After the Plesk Firewall was enabled the FTP Stopped working in passive Mode.
I searched the net and found the following :
Code:
/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and change the line with IPTABLES_MODULES to: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp"
It started working.
I changed the default FTP port from proftpd.conf
Code: port 2392 and /etc/services
Code: ftp 2392/tcp ftp 2392/udp fsp fspd
I allowed the new port in Plesk Firewall in Incoming connection and disabled port 21
Now I am not able to connect to the ftp, I get the following error. Have I missed anything ?
Code:
Response:257 "/" is the current directory Command:TYPE I Response:200 Type set to I Command:PASV Response:227 Entering Passive Mode (85,25,51,34,216,46). Command:MLSD Error:Connection timed out Error:Failed to retrieve directory listing
I'm not been able to start plesk although web and mail services are running.I'm getting the error unable to execute php_handlers_control.I've patched and updated plesk with command line and bootstrap repair and I'm getting this errors:
Errors occured in mail restore procedure Some utilities have exited with errors: /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/mail_auth_dump /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/mail_responder_restore
I have an issue with my daily backup. I configured to have a daily backup on an external FTP server. Everything looks to work correctly but in the panel I see that the task is a 100% forever. Never finishing completely.. So the next day, the task is not starting.. I have to remove manually the task in backup manager screen.
here is the last lines of the log file (in /var/log/plesk/PMM/backup-2015-01-20-20-46-02-824)
My Centos server running Plesk12 is running scheduled backups every sunday 3AM.
The backup is configured so that it's created as a multivolume backup with a volume size of 2047MB.
The backup is placed on my Personal FTP repo (another plesk12 server mounted with big storage).
The backup content is configured to backup server config and content (all).
The problem I have is when the backup is running I can see that it creates the volumes and stores it locally. After it send all the volumes the the external FTP repo it will delete the local (tmp) data. See my attached screenshot for storage health during backup.
Is this behaviour normal? This way we can never run a backup to an external FTP repo when our server passed 50% storage. Is it not normal to:
- Create a volume - Send it to FTP repo - Delete volume locally - Repeat until done
I'm new to Parallels Panel. I use version 11.0.9. I want to backup mysql database daily. First of all, what is the best way for daily database backup in plesk. I'm trying to do this in Scheduled Tasks and I use mysqldump command although I'm not sure.
I chose the time and day first and then I switched on the task. I typed the following command to Command line.
This created only a blank file. When I use this without gzip, nothing changes.
1- Is mysqldump right command for database backup? 2- Should I define full path for mysqldump, gzip and database? If so, how can I find out the full path of mysqldump, gzip and my database? Because I can't see their locations in panel. 3- I can't see any error message. There is not any log file in httpdocs folder. Where does the log file exist? 4- It is weird but should the username be "database user" or should I write "root" ?
I've just migrated server to server but I didn't use the migration manager, I simply backed up each domain's content and restored those backups on the new server.
The issue I have run into is the scheduled tasks at the admin level (Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks) work but any schedule task under a domain do not. The scheduled tasks under the domains show as inactive (no green tick) and when I click to enable them, I get the following message
"Information: The scheduled task Google Product Feed Daily Scheduled Task was switched on."
If I then look at the page, even though the above message says it is, the scheduled task is still not enabled. Going into the scheduled task and switching it on there results in the same message, but it doesn't switch on.
How to rebuild all of the scheduled tasks within Plesk?
After Plesk panel upgrade to 12.x webadmin stopped working . It's showing following error
Code: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Is there a way to run an additional task after the scheduled backup has completed?I want to copy the backup off-site. I can't use FTP, otherwise I'd use the built-in 'Personal FTP Repository' feature. (See Rsync, Amazon S3, Rackspace cloud files, etc)
I could just create a new scheduled task, but the backup takes an unpredictable amount of time, and the tasks need to run sequentially. Also, the 2nd task should only run if the backup succeeds.
I could disable the backups in the control panel and create a new scheduled task that does both the backup and the additional task. But then the functionality of the control panel's Backup Manager page is lost.
after creating a new cron job, when i try to open Scheduled Tasks i get this error :Internal error: DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (2015-05-28 0.12:0:37) at position 17 ): Unexpected character
Message DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (2015-05-28 0.12:0:37) at position 17 ): Unexpected character File Helper.php Line 143 Type Exception
How can I make it so only the system (scheduled task or the server itself) can access to the file to execute it. I tried placing CHMOD 700 to the PHP file but everyone is still able to access to it and executive it.
The FTP on my VPs running centos 6.6 and plesk 12.0.18 Update #44 has stopped allowing FTP conections via filezilla or dreamweaver. My tech knowledge with server management outside of the gui is minimal but i have done the following. Checked that the firwall is allowing ftp traffic through the GUI in plesk.
restarted xinetd and checked status [root@367549 ~]# service xinetd status xinetd (pid 11707) is running... [root@367549 ~]# lsof -i tcp:21 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME xinetd 11707 root 5u IPv6 682472 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)
Then tried the following [root@367549 ~]# ftp localhost -bash: ftp: command not found
But i can connect via telnet on port 21
when trying to use +dreamweaver or filezilla i get the following. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons: - The network cable is unplugged or the network is down. Please verify that the network cable is connected and that the network is up. - The FTP server is down. Please verify that you can connect to the FTP server using another FTP program. - The FTP host name is incorrect. Please verify that the host name is correct in the Site definition dialog box. - Accessing the server requires proxy settings that aren't properly set. Please verify that the proxy settings in the Site category of the Preferences dialog box are properly set, and that the Use Proxy option in the Site definition dialog box is selected. - You may need to connect to the server using a different port than the one provided. Please specify the correct port in the box provided.
Error: The data connection could not be established: ETIMEDOUT - Connection attempt timed out Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity Error: Failed to retrieve directory listin.
