WHM gives error as
I am getting the following error message on top of the package creation box in WHM. (WHM > Add packages)

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

I am using server:

CLOUDLINUX 6.5 x86_64 standard
WHM 11.42.1 (build 16)
cPanel Version 11.42.1 (build 16)
Apache version 2.2.27
Kernel version 2.6.32-531.1.2.lve1.2.54.el6.x86_64

Error log details are below:

Tried fixquotas command but that doesn't resolved my problem.

I had rebooted the server also. But doesn't resolved error.

cPanel updation stopped with following error.

Is this related to inode full, if so, how can I remove it ?

Re: WHM Shows an error occurred while processing this directive message when trying to create a host

Hello

The output you provided shows the primary "/" partition is at it's disk inodes limit. You will need to delete some files in this partition to free up inodes. Searching for "increase inodes limit linux" on a search engine will also yield some helpful results.

Thank you.

Hi,

It seems your server is out of inodes.

/mnt/root/.cpanel/comet/channels may have large number of files.

You can check this by ls -LR|wc -l

You can safely clean up some files by running the following command.

usr/local/cpanel/bin/purge_dead_comet_files

Thanks!
