Error : tty device not owned by group ‘tty’

You might receive this error when your try to restart services in CPanel.

This is because the group of the tty devices are not “tty”

Change it to tty.

chgrp tty /dev/ttyp* /dev/ptyp* /dev/vcs* /dev/ptmx /dev/pts/0

as simple as that.:)

Failed to add site to database. DBERR: error ‘ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint “domain_key” ‘ in ‘ INSERT INTO siteinfo ENSIM

Hello guys, You might have come accross the following error

Failed to add site to database. DBERR: error ‘ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint “domain_key” ‘ in ‘ INSERT INTO siteinfo (site_id, domain, admin_user, email) VALUES (8, ‘domain.com’, ‘xxxx’, ‘xxx@domain.com’)’

=========================

Here is the fix.

Login to server via backend.

su postgres

Take a backup of the database…

pg_dump appldb > appldb.dump.out

Now lets edit

psql

postgres=# \l

this will list all the databases. The Ensim database is “appldb”

postgres=# \c appldb
You are now connected to database “appldb”.
appldb=# \d

This will list all the tables in the database.

You can find the database siteinfo

appldb=# SELECT * FROM siteinfo WHERE domain=’domain.com’;

site_id | domain | email | admin_user
———+——————–+———————+————
35 |domain.com | test@yahoo.com | dommn
(1 row)
it will list the entry. Now to fix the issue, you need to delete that entry. Find the site_id for the domain. Here it is 35

DELETE FROM siteinfo WHERE site_id=35;

Now quit the database

appldb=# \q

bash-3.00$ exit

Restart services

/etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualhosting restart

/etc/rc.d/init.d/epld restart

Now try to add the domain from Control panel.

Tomcat CPanel/Enable for a domain

To enable .jsp pages for a domain.

/scripts/addservlets –domain=domain.com

To disable

/scripts/remservelets –domain=domain.com

In some cases, these scripts won’t work.

Manually check the setting for the domain. Open up the Apache conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

check if the directive given below in the virtual host entry of domain, if not add it.

Include “/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/domainname/*.conf”

Now navigate to the directory

cd /usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/
check whether the folder named username(replace username with appropriate username) exist if not, create it.
mkdir username
cd username
cd domainname

If the directory “domainname” is not present, create it

Check for the file cp_jkmount.conf here, if it is not present, create it with the following contents

 <IfModule mod_jk.c>
  	JkMount /*.jsp ajp13
  	JkMount /servlet/* ajp13
	JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
	JkMount /*.do ajp13
 </IfModule>

Check the file /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/server.xml Add the entry for host
www.domainname.com

 <Host name="domainname" appBase="/home/username/public_html">
    <Alias>www.domainname</Alias>
      <Context path="" reloadable="true"
               docBase="/home/username/public_html" debug="1"/>
      <Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
        docBase="/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/server/webapps/manager">
      </Context>
     </Host>

Restart the services

/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
/scripts/restartsrv_tomcat

Restart Apache
