My issue is pretty simple to explain and I guess hard to solve: I commited the stupidity of installing npm on a cloud based server with Ubuntu 16.04 with Plesk 12.
After reading this article I realized it was too late and after trying to connect to my Plesk GUI got an 403 error.
Also if I execute plesk on the CLI, it shows:
user#server:~$ plesk repair
plesk: command not found
So, I erased Plesk... All my hosted sites on Plesk are reachable with their databases in their URLs or by SSH.
The hosting provider told me there is no way to restore Plesk without losing everything unless I made a backup, but I didn't. Maybe there is an alternative... Do you know it?

First of all, I recommend to change the hosting provider, as their answer is incorrect and it seems, that they don't have much experience with Plesk, nor do they seem to have much knowledge about Plesk.
Second, your statements are a bit unclear, as you state:
although I made a backup
and directly afterwards you stated:
and I didn't
Could you pls. clarify WHAT you did and what you forgot to do?
Third, pls. have a look at => "/var/lib/psa/dumps" and inform us about the possible content.
Fourth, if you have dumps located at "/var/lib/psa/dumps", you will always have the choice to re-install Plesk and to re-import the latest "psa", "mysql" and "horde" - databases from your dumps. How to restore a Plesk database dump is explained at:
=> https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213904125
If you have further Plesk related questions, I recommend a new thread at the official Plesk Community Forum ( => https://talk.plesk.com ) , where experienced Plesk users will help you with Plesk - related questions/issues/errors/problems! ;-)

Good Morning,
There are some commands that are both in /bin and in /usr/bin in our Yocto filesystem.
Is that normal? I don't think it's a mistake we made in building our Yocto filesystem because I see the same thing in my regular Debian Buster distribution (see below). But what is the purpose of that duplication?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
root#debian:~# ls -l /bin/zip* /usr/bin/zip*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 213136 Aug 16 2015 /bin/zip

Thanks for your reading.
some of those binary does some special functions and purpose other than the main program.
just take a look at the grep program
original 'grep'
extended ones are - egrep, bgrep, pgrep, fgrep.
they all do the same thing but gives the user more flexibility and ease of usage
I'm studying jenkins, trying to package a maven project to a war, then move it to a previously started tomcat webapps directory(/opt/tomcat/latest/webpass), but it reports 'No such file or directory'.
Already find out what causes this, but don't know why. Jenkins don't use the same filesystem as original?
Here is my troubleshooting:
1、I create a directory in my linux server under / as temp20190808.
2、then in jenkins file add sh 'ls / -l', there is no temp20190808,also the description of each file in ls form show differenly compare with original(there are details under).
3、using jenkins file, i create a file under / as jenkinstmp2019, then ls / -l, it's there, but after rm the code of creating jenkinstmp2019, then rebuild, ls / -l, jenkinstmp2019 no longer there, so the jenkins file system is a onetime job?
Here are code elaboration on point 1,2:
in my linux server, using ls / -l, there is a tmp20190808 i just created.

As you can see, it's like two totally different linux server, but it's the same one.
So i'm wondering whether jenkins create a temp virtual file server to execute it's job, so can't access to original file except it's own directory.
Find out the reason by myself.
The real cause is agent, i before used agent { docker { image 'XXX' } }, which makes jenkins run its job on docker image.Then i change it to agent any, so job will run on the server jenkins is deployed on.
I have download cassandra via terminal but problem is where are the other folders like data, conf, lib, doc etc.
i can see only some files as shown in figure i.e Click here
where is the other folders ?
By "download cassandra via terminal" and your screenshot, I'll assume that you installed Cassandra via apt-get.
From the Apache Cassandra project Wiki, section on Installation from Debian packages:
The default location of configuration files is /etc/cassandra.
The default location of log and data directories is /var/log/cassandra/ and /var/lib/cassandra.
As for the lib directory, check how your $CASSANDRA_HOME is being set:
$ grep CASSANDRA_HOME /etc/init.d/cassandra
CASSANDRA_HOME=/usr/share/cassandra
$ ls -al /usr/share/cassandra/

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a t1.micro on ec2. Just a moment ago I logged in, ran sudo apt-get update and got Reading package lists... Error!
I also realized that I no longer can install packages using sudo apt-get install.
Any idea what went wrong here? And how to fix it?
I have tried the answer suggested in this thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139441/reading-package-lists-error but that did not fix the problem. What makes things a little annoying also is the lack of error logs (or the fact I do not know where to look). For example the sudo apt-get install just fails and I do not know how to run it in verbose mode or where to look to find the specific reason why it is failing...

A restart of the instance fixed the issue. Why this worked, I cannot explain!
You can try out the below commands to fix the issue
sudo rmdir /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo apt-get update
The first command will remove the empty directory, second will create the new directory and the last command will populate the lists files.
Also, Restart your EC2 instance to make the above changes effective.
I have a chrooted user(username: clientdev) which I have jailed inside their home directory. This chroot directory is /home/clientdev/ which is owned by root.
Now I need this clientdev user to be able access the tomcat web application folder which is residing under /mnt/datadrive/tomcat/webapps.
What I have done is :
chroot the user with a public key of their own to the home
directory.
Create a folder under /home/clientdev called tomcat_ROOT and gave
the ownership to clientdev.
Now when I run the command :
mount -bind /mnn/datadrive/tomcat/webapps /home/clientdev/tomcat_ROOT
The folder disappears from the directory listing inside /home/clientdev if I login with clientdev. My root user can see it but now the desired user.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Peter
