Sirs,
we have a server with hestiaCP installed for months that we haven’t accessed for a long time. Today I tried to access and I have the following error in the logs:

2023/09/05 20:40:44 [error] 875#0: *21 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 524; PHP message: PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 525; PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined array key "RELEASE_BRANCH" in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 105; PHP message: PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 524; PHP message: PHP Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given in /usr/local/hestia/web/inc/main.php on line 525; PHP message: PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/hestia/web/login/index.php on line 437; PHP message: PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /usr/local/hestia/web/login/index.php on line 437; PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given in /usr/local/hestia/web/login/index.php:442 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/hestia/web/login/index.php(442): in_array() #1 {main} thrown in /usr/local/hestia/web/login/index.php on line 442" while reading response header from upstream, client: XXX.XX.89.7, server: _, request: "GET /login/ HTTP/2.0", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/hestia-php.sock:", host: "XX.XXX.XX.117:8083"

Has anyone had this problem and can help me understand and resolve?

Thanks

Hello @fabwebbr,

All those messages are related to the execution of command v-list-sys-config json

What is the output of this command?

/usr/local/hestia/bin/v-list-sys-config json

Cheers,

I see no problem.

Maybe you should check the service status and hestia-nginx conf.

systemctl status hestia.service
/usr/local/hestia/nginx/sbin/hestia-nginx -t

If all look fine, try to restart hestia-nginx.

systemctl restart hestia.service

Add

var_dump($output); on the line between:

Guys,
I think I found the problem! I had put the user “admin” in sudoers and when I ran the “systemctl status hestia.service” I noticed an error about admin authentication.

I removed the admin from sudoers and the panel worked correctly again.

(Sorry my poor english)

Glad you get it working again.

What did you remove? I mean, Hestia creates a file /etc/sudoers.d/admin with this content:

# Created by hestia installer
Defaults env_keep="VESTA"
Defaults env_keep+="HESTIA"
Defaults:admin !syslog
Defaults:admin !requiretty
Defaults:root !requiretty

# sudo is limited to hestia scripts
admin   ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/vesta/bin/*
admin   ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/hestia/bin/*

So I suppose you added the admin user to /etc/sudoers file? I’m asking just to get all the info in case any other user has the same problem and reach this post.

Cheers,
sahsanu

@sahsanu That’s right. I wasn’t aware of the admin user in /etc/sudoers.d/admin and so I manually added it in /etc/sudoers and that was the whole problem then.

Hello! Sorry for reviving the topic, but I am facing almost the exact same issue, but my sudoers file looks normal, can anyone help?

Hi @carisa

Check ‘/etc/sudoers’ and see if you have ‘/etc/sudoers.d/hestiaweb’ file too in hestia v1.9.1.
If you add hestiaweb user manually check ‘/etc/passwd’, ‘/etc/group’ and ‘/etc/shadow’ files.
