Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

While trying to SSH or enter into a VPS from the node, you may get the following error :

Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

or

root@tip~]# vzctl enter 900

enter into VE 900 failed

Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

There is a temporary and permenant fix for this issue.

Temporary Fix :-

Execute the following commands from the node

vzctl exec VEID /sbin/MAKEDEV pty

vzctl exec VEID /sbin/MAKEDEV tty

vzctl enter VEID

Where VEID is the VPS id.

Permanent Fix :-

First temporarly fix the issue and enter into the VPS.

1) vzctl enter VEID

2) Edit the file /etc/rc.sysinit of the VPS

vi /etc/rc.sysini

3) Search for the line /sbin/start_udev and comment it

#/sbin/start_udev

4) Add the following two lines under /sbin/start_udev

#/sbin/start_udev

/sbin/MAKEDEV tty

/sbin/MAKEDEV pty

Logout from your VPS (Ctrl d)

5) Reboot the VPS and you are done!

vzctl restart VEID

rvsite builder issue

Cannot detect your system information, you have to install ionCube loader manually. Please contact your provider.

FIRST, login SSH and run

perl /var/cpanel/rvglobalsoft/rvsitebuilder/panelmenus/cpanel/scripts/autofixphpini.pl

Then restart cPanel service:

/usr/local/cpanel/startup

Now the autofixphpini.pl has fixed the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize, BUT it has messed up your ioncube loader setting, so you need to fix that next. To do this, in SSH type or paste:

pico /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini

Then do CTRL-W to find zend_extension

Add following line at the end of the zend section, before the line where it says Windows extension:

zend_extension="/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico/loaders/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"

CTRL-x to exit, then Y, and Enter to save the file.

Then restart cPanel service again:

/usr/local/cpanel/startup
