Its not Vesta problem

Why would it be a HDD issue? I am able to download stuff from the ssh :/

Check your partitions maybe some are mounted as read only

If so Vesta wouldnt work yesterday but it did!

[ScIT]

well, did you checked the partitions? vesta cant not open log file, based on your informations:

Code: Select all

...
"/usr/local/vesta/log/nginx-error.log" failed (30: Read-only file system)
Feb 20 15:22:54 localhost.localdomain vesta[3719]: [FAILED]
...

itdoesnt matter if you can download something over ssh, download is not write something to the disk.

So please accept the help from skamasle and check your partitions or reboot the server.

[desfire]

I accepted his help and checked yesterday and it can be written

[ScIT]

so did you try to start the service? does it work now? more logs?

At least I am not the only one who has problems with it. I tried for 5 days to test Vesta CP on a vmware. I think I installed it more than 10 times with different configurations generated from it's web page, but after each server restart I get the same message: nginx can't read var/log/nginx.log files. I even tried to delete/edit them manually using mc, but I get the " read only " message. I can neither change files attributes. All this while being logged as root, using Centos 7. I suppose this happened after installing file system quota directly from vesta panel.
