The /scripts/autorepair fix_addon_features script is failing on my system.

So. autorepair does not work. Now what? WP-Toolkit doesn't recognise any Wordpress website anymore on all my domains.

The /scripts/autorepair fix_addon_features script is failing on my system. It reports 'Unable to read file' for all update analysis logs. I have confirmed the files exist, have content, and have correct permissions. An strace of the process shows that the script successfully runs stat() and openat() on the error_log file but never issues a read() system call before printing its own error message to stdout. This strongly indicates a bug within the script's internal logic.

strace:
[root@panel ~]# strace -o /root/autorepair_trace.log -f -s 256 /scripts/autorepair fix_addon_features

  Check the permissions on /tmp folder, that seems to be wrong.

  Yes, knowing the permissions on /tmp will likely help with this issue.  On a default AlmaLinux 8 install /tmp is 1777 which shows as drwxrwxrwt in "ls" output.

  "I have confirmed the files exist, have content, and have correct permissions." That's not it.

  Can you share the output of the following command on your system?

  ls -ld /tmp

  Sure:
  [root@panel ~]# ls -ld /tmp
  drwxrwxrwt. 42 root root 4096 Jun 17 09:02 /tmp

  Could you submit a ticket so this can be investigated directly on your machine?

  Cpanel doesn't let me. They (the ticket system) want me to submit a ticket at my VPS hosting provider.

  Then you should submit a ticket to your hosting provider, and then they'll escalate to us if necessary.

  Ok. I'll try that route.

  It is solved. In the end they just reinstalled WP Toolkit. The autorepair script might still have this failure.

  Could you please try reinstalling wp-toolkit?
   You can do that with the command:
   dnf reinstall wp-toolkit-cpanel
   Or on ubuntu servers:
   apt reinstall wp-toolkit-cpanel
