Receing this error when trying to log into WHM: [QUOTE]

500

failed to open session lockfile: FILE=/var/cpanel/sessions/raw/:47PKJBjdvC_jYHqYV0dz6NHQ_86BVovqh7Axqu8fsdSsasDuG6WBkbO_UXRUjggH.lock, No such file or directory at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Session.pm line 238.

Also, it appears the entire system lost some permissions, as mod_security fails to write log files and I can no longer upload files. Very strange issue Any ideas where to start? EDIT: Definitely looks like a permission issue. The entire server seems to have lost permission to write file - how can this happen? Failing disk?

  Ok just to debug this I checked /cat/passwd apache user is missing - how criticial is it? Apache still runs as nobody so it seems to be working, but the apache user is missing On another WHM server I found apache: apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin

  Hello :) Could you elaborate more on what you mean by the server has lost permissions? For instance, can you create new files/directories or is the system in read-only mode? Thank you.
