  • The following error appears in /var/log/plesk/panel.log when DailyMaintenance task ran with debug log enabled (How to enable logging of daily maintenance task):

    CONFIG_TEXT: PHP Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=1234; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/vendor/plesk/zendframework/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Pdo.php, Line: 228

temporary solution

As a workaround run the tasks manually that did not run automatically How to rerun daily maintenance tasks separately for Plesk on Linux?

The workaround above can be automated, for example for the separate task UpdateApsApplications, by setting up a Scheduled task with the following settings:

  • Task type:

    CONFIG_TEXT: Run a command

  • Command:

    CONFIG_TEXT: /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f UpdateApsApplications

    Hello,

    I'm getting the referenced error message.  If it is caused by a daily scheduled task that fails, how do I determine which of the daily tasks is failing?

    Best Regards,
    Bob

    Hello Bob,

    1. Enable debug for Plesk

    2. Run daily Maintenance manually:

    # plesk daily

    3. It will write what task started and you'll know which one fails, e.g. below entries indicates that Plesk start checking for updates:

    [2019-05-25 07:22:17.248] INFO [panel] Starting: Daily Maintainance
    [2019-05-25 07:22:17.250] INFO [panel] == Task run Check for updates: '/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php' '/usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/task-script.php' 'CheckForUpdates' '--period=daily'
    [2019-05-25 07:22:17.397] INFO [panel] == Begin Check for updates
