Problems with the engine scripts

[kilburn]

Obviously, this is our responsibility to a certain extent. By the architecture of the panel tough, some of the situations you describe should not happen.

On the one hand, from what I know about the inner workings, it is possible that some parts of the domain account are configured, but not others. This may happen because of a mysql/engine asynchrony (new data added while the engine is running). By possible I mean that *I* am not completely sure that this cannot happen.

On the other hand, the panel uses a locking system to prevent multiple engine scripts running at the same time, and therefore corruption of configuration files should not be possible.

As you observed corruption, it is obviously possible. My only explanation tough, is that for some reason, some processes were killed before they could finish their operations, and therefore left corrupted files behind. My bet is that your server was heavily overloaded, totally consumed all available ram+swap, and the kernel had to begun killing processes to make up some space.

May this be the reason? Which are your server specs and their observed loads?
