Symptoms

Task for site applications (Joomla, Wordpress, etc.) "APS application 'APPLICATION NAME', id *, instance *: executing configuration script" fails with error:

lstat /var/www/vhosts/2/WEBSPACE_ID/webspace/siteapps/WordPress-***/scripts: No such file or directory

Scripts directory is missing in site application folder:

#ls /var/www/vhosts/2/WEBSPACE_ID/webspace/siteapps/WordPress-***/
htdocs images test

Cause

Task Dumping content of scripts directory for instance of APS site application with id *** in some cases executes with success without creating scripts folder on web server. The issue has been reported to the development team as APS-17526 and fixed in OA 5.5 update 8 https://kb.cloudblue.com/en/123369.

Resolution

Schedule update of OA to version 5.5 update 8 or later. Workarounds:

  • Check task parameters - if task executes configuration script with argument "remove" and there are tasks to remove application files and database in task manager then this failed task can be canceled.

  • Another workaround is to copy application zip archive from /usr/local/pem/APS/packages/, extract scripts folder from archive and copy it to webspace folder.
