1. 
   

Stop the site
2. Most likely, there are lingering files within the site's ~/tmp/check_mk/wato/activation/ directory. 
   
   
3. A restart of the operating system will clear out these files and should allow you to activate changes again.

Solution B

If for whatever reason you do not want to restart the server, you can delete the files manually.

1. Login as your site user
   
   

   Reload the config

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark

OMD[mysite]:~$ omd stop

.

2. root@linux:~# su - mysite

   
   .

3. Check to see if you have old directories within ~/tmp/check_mk/wato/activation/
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ cd tmp/check_mk/wato/activation/ OMD[mysite]:~$ cmk -O

   .

   Start the site again

   ll total 0 drwxrwx--- 3 mysite mysite 100 Jan 4 11:12 6ecd4860-611e-4a4c-912f-74a6f1123e99/ drwxrwx--- 3 mysite mysite 100 Jan 4 11:12 bec06bbc-1d35-4668-a421-151828b8500d/ drwxrwx--- 3 mysite mysite 920 Jan 3 18:34 e55a7651-40ce-40da-b11f-880d0778481f/

   It looks like there is one old directory that couldn't be deleted. The files here should be deleted after one minute.

   
   
   

4. Remove the lingering directory and activate the changes again:

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   drwxrwx--- 3 mysite mysite 920 Jan 3 18:34 e55a7651-40ce-40da-b11f-880d0778481f/

   
   

   Code Block
   language bash theme RDark
   OMD[mysite]:~$ omd startrm -R e55a7651-40ce-40da-b11f-880d0778481f/
