Backup stopped suddenly

Hi,

Now I see that on 22 March my backup plan stopped suddenly.
I've checked usr/local/ispmgr/var/pbackup.log
And no log after 21 March, the end of 21 March log appear normally:

So today I've start a new backup plan management to can check eventually errors:

In the last year since I use ISPmanager is first time when this is happening.
Can someone help me please to solve this problem?
ISPmanager-Lite 4.4.10.22
Thanks in advance.

Hello, please check you cron settings
do
ps axu|grep cron
crontab -l

Code:

[root@server1 /]# ps axu|grep cron

root     23225  0.0  0.0   5504   740 pts/0    S+   08:40   0:00 grep cron

Crontab not installed.

In: ISPmanager/Management Tools/Sheduler(cron): /usr/local/ispmgr/sbin/pbackup backup - appear to have correctly settings.

Manual backup from ISPmanager working, I've tested.

I've add logwatch as cron in ISPmnager: /usr/sbin/logwatch - to see if i get emails and with this occasion to check the ISPmanager cron module and via root the command: /usr/sbin/logwatch send me instant email with the log selected by me and via ISPmanager Sheduler(cron) no email in the last 3 days and interval is @daily in Sheduler(cron) of ISPmanager.

In the log of backup usr/local/ispmgr/var/pbackup.log is present only the last log when I made manually the last backup:

Code:

Mar 28 15:05:01 [14869:0] ^[[1;32mINFO Finishing [mfvbn] ...^[[0m

So without an error log I'm stuck to solve my problem why Sheduler(cron) of ISPmanager and my backups are stopped suddenly?

Please some help.

Problem and solution

I found the problem and the solution.

The problem is that on Centos 6 the minimal install doesn't include "crontab" services by default, so you must to install and enable them.

If you are on Centos 6 and ISPmanager to solve your issue:

Code:

#yum install vixie-cron



Enable the package on boot and start

# /sbin/chkconfig crond on



# /etc/init.d/crond start



#killall ispmgr

Now you can schedule a new backup and everything will work great, you can check your ISPmanager log with your favorite editor in:

Code:

/usr/local/ispmgr/var/pbackup.log

I bet that others users of ISPmanager with Centos 6 with minimal install have stopped their backups after they upgrade to ISPmanager-Lite 4.4.10.22.
I've analysed the log and I see "ispmanager" returned 0(excited) because after the upgrade in someway is not part of group root.
