Okay, after I have survived the heartattack this morning, may be someone can help me with that.
What happend:
I am using 2 IPs in Plesk, so in short, one half of the hosted domains on the originally IP which comes with the server, the other half on an IP I ordered additionally. That´s how the server was running for the last 2 years without any problems. Yesterday morning I´ve updated Onyx to Obsidian. Mainly to get rid of an error regarding Dropbox-Backups. Update went smooth, no errors, all sites up - right until this morning 1 AM when my phone decided to wake me up, alarming me that sites were down. And indeed: all domains on the additional second IP resulted in a 502 bad gateway and the logs were full of mainly the same error:
My first thought was mod_security, which I turned on after the update, so I turned it off and restarted the server. Was a turn & burn. Second thought was fail2ban, banning the own server-IP, which is a pretty common issue. But all IPs were still included in the whitelist and no entries in the logs for banning one of them.
I already tried to adress this to the Plesk support, but unfortunally my Plesk license is issued from a reseller, so I had to contact my host instead. And they had no idea, what to do. In the end I restored the server from the image I´d made before updating, so at least the sites are up again. But has anyone encountered something similiar while using 2 IPs?
