@steinner,

Did you just install PHP 7.4?

[steinner]

nop, it was from 1 year

@steinner,

Does the user “archive” exist? It looks like PHP-FPM is complaining cause it cannot find the UID for the user.

[steinner]

sorry where can i find the user “archive”?

[tpnsolutions]

@steinner,

It’s implied that one of your domains has the user “archive”…

[steinner]

if it is, i didn’t do it consciously… how can i check this please?
here the php.ini of the 7.4:
php.ini (71.3 KB)
here the php-fpm.conf
php-fpm.conf (5.3 KB)

@steinner,

Need to figure out which domain belongs to Domain ID “160631008227351”…

I could help you out with that, but I’d have to bill you

[steinner]

ok let’s go like that,
how to do it?

[tpnsolutions]

@steinner

ok let’s go like that

What do you mean?

Go look in

/etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d

You should find a file with a name of 160631008227351 - open it and you should find details of the domain, user, group, home directory etc. Basically everything you need to ID the misbehaving domain\user.

@tpnsolutions

160631008227351

160631008227351.conf (287 Bytes)

@steinner,

I knew what to expect in that file…

We already established that “archive” is the user, and hence on a default install of Virtualmin the home directory would be “/home/archive”

Again, I could diagnose and likely resolve the issue for you, but it would become billable hours.

*** No offense intended to you @Dibs ***

@tpnsolutions - None taken.

[steinner]

ok, hourssss? how many ?

it’s not most simply to delete/remove and reinstall the 7.4?

[tpnsolutions]

@steinner,

No, I wouldn’t start with that, and generally doubt that would really be the solution. It’s likely simpler from my point of view, since I manage dozens of Virtualmin installs, and address server issues for a living. Regardless, you’d pay for one hour, or nothing if it goes unresolved. Odds are it’ll be resolved in about 10 - 15 minutes tops, unless it’s more serious or something weird is going on.

[steinner]

(again): ok, let’s go,
how do we do?
