......looking in to it...........

"Error 17 = File exists

Something on this server is not clearing out the temp directory on a reguular basis. Tell your host to empty that directory."

I can't find the /tmp directory on the server to clear it out.

Still looking and getting very annoyed.

Anyone experienced with Plesk?

[Jim Oaks]

I'm going to reboot the server tonight to dump the tmp folder. It's the only solution I can find. I'l try to stay up and wait until it looks like nobody's on line.

[Jim Oaks]

....I think I found how to delete the file in SSH. I'm doing a server backup right now just in case I fawk it up.

[Jim Oaks]

Wouldn't do it, so I just rebooted the server. It all works now.

[Jim Oaks]

6 hours screwing with that problem researching the error number, my options to fix it, how to even get to the files and what codes to enter and finally rebooting the server after a backup and ensuring the site was actually going to come back up.

damn

hey jim im still getting that error message whenever i try to get to my pm's.....still working on it?

[predator]

all right!!! finally got to check my pm's...thanks jim!!!

[Jim Oaks]

Apparently you didn't pay the rental fee on your PM box this month.




Actually, I rebooted the server and it started working again. It happened again tonight and I rebooted yet again.

There's a memory problem that I'm trying to resolve. In a nutshell, info stored in a temp folder isn't being dumped and is being overloaded at certain times. This uses up the systems resources and it will shut certain functions down.

[Jim Oaks]

....oh ya, sorry for the inconvenience.

no problem...part of running a website...just a minor inconveniance...
