Hey guys, Mihai here!

I am pretty new to CentOS and VPS in general, but this I though I could easily manage. I only have this problem on one VPS machine out of 3 tested. Fresh install on CentOS 7-x86_64 minimal

This is the install command:

Code: Select all

bash vst-install.sh --nginx yes --apache yes --phpfpm no --named yes --remi yes --vsftpd yes --proftpd no --iptables no
 --fail2ban no --quota no --exim yes --dovecot yes --spamassassin no --clamav no --softaculous no --mysql yes --postgresql no
  --hostname MY-DOMAIN.com --email [email protected] --password MyPass123

Right after nginx install part, I get a timeout error:

Code: Select all

Complete!
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop iptables.service
Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable nginx.service'.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/nginx.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service.
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start nginx.service
Job for nginx.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Error: nginx start failed

and VestaCP installation stops. I have reinstalled the OS and retried several times. Same problem each time. Again, it seems to be something unusual, related to this machine only, as I've ran the same installation process on two other machines without issues.

Here's the result of "systemctl status nginx.service"

Code: Select all

Nov 24 12:20:29 s1.MY_DOMAIN.com systemd[1]: nginx.service failed.

The attached screenshot shows the result of two parallel installations on two separate VPS packages. The one that installed correctly is a cheaper configuration.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thank you!
Mihai

My server worked with these changes:

Code: Select all

# nano /etc/sysctl.d/disable_ipv6.conf

Paste this:

Code: Select all

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1

Code: Select all

# nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

Find:

Code: Select all

PIDFile=/var/run/nginx.pid

Replace with:

Code: Select all

PIDFile=/run/nginx.pid

Code: Select all

# nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Find:

Code: Select all

pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

Replace with:

Code: Select all
