Can't log in to my DA install

[TheBear]

Noticed one of my sites giving a db error today, so I tried logging in as the main admin and get "Error writing password request file" error message.

I have rebooted the server as well.

Any ideas on how I can get my server back up and running? None of sites that use a database are working anymore.

I can SSH into the server and also have Webmin installed so I can access files on the box. I am planning on rebuilding it in the near future to get it updated to CentOS 5.x with php5 from its current CentOS 4.x and php4.

Thanks

Check for full hard disk partitions.

You nailed it I had set the system to do weekly backups. Guess it made too many of them. I am deleting files now (mostly backups, and looking for un-needed apache log files as well). I have restarted apache after deleting some, unfortunately I still can't log into DA or access the db based sites.

Will I need to reboot the server to get them back up and running?

Thanks

You can restart directadmin. You should never have to reboot your server unless you are doing a kernel upgrade.

/sbin/service directadmin restart

I use to backup all users every week, but, for dont have that problem i made a scirpt to delete backups older then 1month, you should think to do the same and, think about make backups on a second drive where system not use to write in so if it get full system keep working (just backup will not)
