I am having trouble with psadump.
It goes good untill it, hits one domain and then it freezes.

/usr/local/psa/bin/psadump --nostop --force -F -f - | gzip | split -b 1000m - /home/admin/psadumps/dump

I have tried several different ways of doing the dump and they all freeze in the same place.

1 Get the FTP login username of the domain you have problem

2 log via ssh go on the httpdocs/ of this domain

3 - chown -cRf username:psacln /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs

the smile is : p together



Another great bug of Plesk


This should fix your prob ...

That did not fix the problem. I had also made some changes to the httpd.include file. But I restored the old one and still it freezes on that one domain.

I was looking at some of the other posts, when changing http.include file about rebuilding apache with my_apci_rst but I can not seem to locate my_apci_rst on my server. I looked in /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/ and /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/


I am running Plesk 7.0 on Redhat Enterprise.

Thanks

I dont think this have someting to do whit the backup ...

If you freeze always on the same domain i'm pretty sure its related directly on this domain...

Then all time i have seen this its a ownership perm. that are screwed..

This append yesterday again btw...

Try adding

--tar-ignore-failed-read

Most likely the domain has a lot of files, it doesn't freezes. You can verify whether psadump is still running by checking the size of the dump file.

I have implemented sysbk until i can get this figured out.
I have tried it with --tar-ignore-failed-read. Still freezes on the same domain.
It goes right thru the back-up if I stop the domain in the cpanel. But it doesnot back up the domain.

Also it is probably my biggest domain. I think it around 225MB. But I have set on the command prompt until it timed out. Still no luck. How long should it take on a domain that size? I am really new to all this stuff.

I also went thru and visually checked the fill owner ship on every file. My PHP shopping cart could be writing files to this domain. Actually I just checked it. It is and the ownership is apache:apache. Could that be causing the backup to freeze?



Thanks
:confused:

Yes Apache apache users is causing the freeze !

Yes I read a thread on it at:
http://forum.sw-soft.com/showthread.php?threadid=13450


But this doesn't help me to do automatic back ups.
I guess I can manually back up by shutting down the domain and chown the files. Then backing up.

I will continue using sysbk until there is a work around or fix for this problem.

Thanks for all the help.
