Tonight I found that our Plesk server had got itself into a state where Domains could not be Activated/Suspended, and websites with Databases were not loading correctly (eg WordPress sites etc), errors were as follows :
Website Logs:
WordPress database error Got error 28 from storage engine for query…
Plesk Control Panel Error:
Unable to activate/deactivate domain: Domain Mgmt backend failed: domainmng: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/ftpmng execution failed:
Looking at the file system (see below), the TMP directory was full so MySQL will have been unable to create any temp tables etc.
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 9.2G 354M 8.4G 4% / /dev/md5 9.4G 1.7G 7.7G 18% /usr /dev/md6 213G 15G 199G 7% /var none 990M 988M 1.8M 100% /tmp tmpfs 990M 0 990M 0% /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-local tmpfs 990M 0 990M 0% /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-queue tmpfs 990M 0 990M 0% /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-remote tmpfs 990M 5.1M 985M 1% /usr/local/psa/handlers/info tmpfs 990M 0 990M 0% /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool
In my case, TMP was running at 100% and was filled by file : “repo_transport_tmp_HcQKVt” The temp file was a server backup file which was being downloaded to the local repository. After removing the file, ran the following command to restart MySQL
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld restart
