Hi,

I install often Vesta CP on centos 7.7, and on some servers (they are VPS from ovh.com), the installation has issues:

Code: Select all

[root@vps178504 ~]# cat /etc/*release
CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)
NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="7 (Core)"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7"
HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/"

CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos"

Nginx can't start:

Code: Select all

Dec 10 06:41:29 vps178504.ovh.net systemd[1]: Starting nginx - high performance web server...
Dec 10 06:41:29 vps178504.ovh.net systemd[1]: Can't open PID file /var/run/nginx.pid (yet?) after start: Too many levels of symbolic links
Dec 10 06:42:59 vps178504.ovh.net systemd[1]: nginx.service start operation timed out. Terminating.
Dec 10 06:42:59 vps178504.ovh.net systemd[1]: Failed to start nginx - high performance web server.
Admin user is not created:

Code: Select all

[root@vps178504 ~]# su admin
su: user admin does not exist
It seems that this error is silent has it is not shown in logs.

The weird things is that we order the same VPS and install the same OS, and this issue arise randomly on some servers. But once a server has it, it has it each time.
So, they might be something generating the issue specific to the server. (which is weird as they are VPS from OVH)

I don't expect a resolution specifically, it just a bug report. I just use another VPS when it happens.
