SOLVED Unsuspend account gives error 404 temporarily

ruiz · Sep 5, 2018

Hello,

We have the weirdest behavior on our servers. When we unsuspend a account, the website start showing a 404 error page, and after around 15 minutes the website starts loading just fine.

Any idea of what it might be? Here's some information:
- Website files are currectly in /public_html.
- It's not the browsers cache. Servers logs also show the error 404
- This happens only on some accounts. Others are unsuspended without issue
- We are suspending/unsuspending accounts via API, but it all seems to work fine.
- We tried suspending and unsuspending again via WHM, but it still shows the 404 error
- Tried restarting apache, no change
- Currently we use mod security, php-fpm. Any of then might be the culprit?

Thanks for your help!

Have you verified that the file being listed in the domain's domlog (that is showing a 404 response code) actually exists in the domain's DocumentRoot?

Do you have any caching system installed on the server? Varnish? nginx?

My assumption here is that there must be some kind of caching involved here as suggested by @sparek-3 I tested this on my own server with a domain running php-fpm and php v7.1:

Code:

# curl -vv https://mydomain.tld
* About to connect() to mydomain.tld port 443 (#0)
*   Trying <MyIP>...
* Connected to mydomain.tld (<MyIP>) port 443 (#0)
* Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
*   CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
  CApath: none
* SSL connection using TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
* Server certificate:
*     subject: CN=mydomain.tld
*     start date: Jul 18 00:00:00 2018 GMT
*     expire date: Oct 16 23:59:59 2018 GMT
*     common name: mydomain.tld
*     issuer: CN="cPanel, Inc. Certification Authority",O="cPanel, Inc.",L=Houston,ST=TX,C=US

< Transfer-Encoding: chunked
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Then suspended the account:

Code:

whmapi1 suspendacct user=myuser resason=test
---
metadata:
  command: suspendacct
  output:
    raw: "Changing Shell to /bin/false...Done\nLocking Password...Done\nSuspending webdav users\nSuspending email account logins for mydomain.tld ....

  reason: OK
  result: 1
  version: 1

Confirmed it was suspended:

Code:

curl -vv https://mydomain.tld

Unsuspended the account:

  reason: OK
  result: 1

checked again and no issues:

Once open please reply with the Ticket ID here so that we can update this thread with the resolution once the ticket is resolved.

Thanks!

Has there been any fix to this bug?

A Reseller account that was unsuspended about 3 hours ago is displaying a 404 error on all the domains.

cPanelLauren · Jan 2, 2019

I was unable to replicate this behavior @bibleman per my last response. I had asked the OP to open a ticket and if you're experiencing the same issue please feel free to open a ticket using the link in my signature so that we might take a closer look.

Rebooting the server resolved the problem.
