Solution A (recommended)


  1. Check the entries within the site's web.log, you may see entries like below:

    ~/var/log/web.log
    022-02-23 15:13:35,705 [30] [cmk.web.automations 7098] 'check_mk --automation restart' returned 'An error occurred: Other restart currently in progress. Aborting.

    Most likely, there are lingering files within the site's ~/tmp/check_mk/wato/activation/ directory. 

  2. 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

    root@linux:~# su - mysite


    .

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

    OMD[mysite]:~$ cd tmp/check_mk/wato/activation/
OMD[mysite]:~$ 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.



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

    drwxrwx--- 3 mysite mysite 920 Jan 3 18:34 e55a7651-40ce-40da-b11f-880d0778481f/
    OMD[mysite]:~$ rm -R e55a7651-40ce-40da-b11f-880d0778481f/
