Symptoms
-
Daily email "WordPress Updates Digest" is received that contains the following:
Website "/httpdocs.old/blog" (example.com): Failed to reset cache for the instance #19: filemng: Failed to change directory to /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs.old/blog: No such file or directory
-
The instance for example.com exists in WP Toolkit and is not broken.
-
Records in WP Toolkit database show, that two instances exist for domain example.com (the same domainId with different directories):
# sqlite3 /usr/local/psa/var/modules/wp-toolkit/wp-toolkit.sqlite3
sqlite> .mode columns
sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> select * from instances;
id domainId path isIgnored apsInstanceId serverId guid

19 88 /httpdocs.old/blog 0 0cd165cd-6777-4e01-96c7-dddeca145281
Cause
The folder /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs.old is removed manually or all the files were moved to another directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs.
As a result, WordPress database has not been updated with information about this change.
