Files are missing from /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts after executing httpdmng –reconfigure all

Symptoms

• All websites are not available.

• Apache configuration is inconsistent.

• plesk sbin httpdmng --reconfigure-all has been executed or configuration files were recreated using the link in error message like the following:

  PLESK_ERROR: Please resolve the issues and click here to generate broken configuration files once again or here to generate all configuration files

• All sites files are missing from /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts:

  # ls -l /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts
  total 0

Cause

The issue has been registered as a bug and will be fixed in future Plesk versions: PPPM-10984.

Resolution

Restore files in /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts from a backup

Best practices to avoid this from happening:

It is first recommended to reconfigure a single website to make sure the issue is resolved:

# plesk repair web example.com

Then, the command can be executed to repair configuration files for all domains:

# plesk repair web -domains-only
