List accounts error - A fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive.

Hello, I'm having this error in WHM, when trying to list the server's accounts or when I try to modify passwords.

The error_log has some entries like the one, bellow:

Cpanel::Exception::TempFileCreateError/(XID 44kj82) The system failed to create the temporary file “/var/cpanel/passtokens/1494262553.token.Q3Y5eVwG” because of an error: Input/output error

I looked in /var/cpanel and the folder passtokens/ has the user:group settings as root():root() - no zero inside the parenthesis - and the permissions as 000.

I've tried to change that via SSH, with no success. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Ricardo

Hello,

This suggests a corrupted filesystem. Do you notice any output to /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages when this happens? Also, can you manually create a new file in the /var/ partition on the system (e.g. touch /var/cptest123)?

Thank you.

Hello, Michael, thank you for your answer.

Yes, I can touch at /var/

I looked more closely into /var/cpanel/ and the file dynamicui_grouporder has the same problem, and both files have a timestamp of 31-Dec-1969 21:00:00, but all other files look normal.

Cheers

Thanks, Michael, I've just opened ticket # 8457841.

Looks like your system needs to be checked for disk / file system corruption.

Thanks, Michael, I've just opened ticket # 8457841.

Hello,

To update, it looks like this was the result of a corrupted filesystem.

Thank you.
