Applicable to:
- Plesk for Linux
Symptoms
-
License is in grace period even though it was updated/renewed correctly on a licensing server side:
PLESK_WARN: Warning: You are currently operating within the grace period of your product license. To update your product license, select the Retrieve Keys option on the License Management page.
-
While trying to retrieve/install keys at Plesk > Tools & Settings > License Management (Plesk > Tools & Settings > Server information) the page loads forever until it fails with:
CONFIG_TEXT: 504 Gateway Timeout
-
The same error may appear when trying to log intp Plesk.
-
After enabling debug, in
/var/log/plesk/panel.logit can be seen that the license update stops on the following step:CONFIG_TEXT: DEBUG [util_exec] [5af1e640d2247] Starting: sysinfo df-full, stdin:
-
The following
df (disk free)processes can be found:# ps aux | grep df
root 6806 0.0 0.0 18356 2012 ? S 06:46 0:00 /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/sysinfo df-full
root 7229 0.0 0.1 18356 4416 ? S 06:48 0:00 /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/sysinfo df-full
<..>
root 11409 0.0 0.1 18356 4424 ? S 12:55 0:00 /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/sysinfo df-full
root 13955 0.0 0.1 18356 4420 ? S 12:57 0:00 /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/sysinfo df-full - df -h command hangs
Cause
df utility processes are hung due to bug in CentOS 7.5 causing Plesk services to hang too. This is a Plesk bug PPPM-8614 ("Plesk services hangs if system tool's execution cannot be finished") that will be fixed in future product updates.
Resolution
Reboot the server to fix df-related issue. All Plesk services will work correctly when df can be executed normally.
Note: it is not recommended to kill the stuck df processes.

AH, this was exactly my problem: df hung. I (bloody new!) followed the description, switched on debug, restarted my server, got my licence key and everything is fine now. Ulrike
