Login problem - PHP Errors

After a Bubba2 running without problems for several months, web browsing started to fail today. I tried to login via the web interface. It turned out to not be possible. The web interface displayed two error messages, see below and pushing the login button does not result in anything. SSH login is still possible. I restarted (power button) and web browsing is now working again but the two error messages remains and it is still not possible to login via the web interface (SSH is still fine).
Any suggestions how to solve this?

Could be the problem.
SSH into the box and run this command:
it should tell you if you're out of space on one of your volumes.

Thanks. Just found it out ... the root partioning was 100% full. For some reason, I had a 6.5G root mail folder.

That's weird. Did you see what was in it?

This weekend I have the same issue as reported above.
My root volume is full.
My problem is that i am not a seasoned Debian admin so I am not sure who to find and delete the files that are swamping my root drive.
This is what my df -h output looks like:
Code: Select all
xyz@BUBBA:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.2G 9.2G 0 100% /
tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 24K 10M 1% /dev
tmpfs 125M 4.0K 125M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/bubba-storage
907G 344G 517G 40% /home
So the root is full. What is the best way to find out which files I need and can delete? I am aware of the du command but wouldn't mind some tips!

If you're problem is similar to the OP, then the files will be in your mail folder which should be ~/Mail.
So, log on via SSH and do this:
cd ~/Mail
du -hs
That should give you the size of your Mail folder.
Also, if you have any other users on your box have a look at theirs too
cd /home/[username]/Mail
(you will need to be root to do that probably - use the command
su).

It is /dev/sda1 who is full.

Then you should see if some ting is wrong there.

D'oh, wasn't paying attention. Ignore my post. Might be worth looking in /tmp as well though.

Thanks!
By using
(yes, I'm sure you can do this 'better' but I'm not a Linux expert
I found that it was the maildrop directory that took all my discspace! I have no mailbooxes on the server so I am wondering what this is about?
Code: Select all
xyz@BUBBA:~$ sudo du -h /var | grep "G"
8.3G /var/spool/postfix/maildrop
8.3G /var/spool/postfix
8.3G /var/spool
8.4G /var
Anyway, I'm now abble to free up som space to make everything work again!
Thanks!
