We need to upgrade disk or clear the unnecessary files or logs.
We need to check disk usages first. We can check disk usages using following commands.
# df -h
– it will show the size in Gigabyte.
# du -sh /home/
– it will show the /home/ folder in MB size.
# du -sh /home/*
– it will show each folder size in MB under /home/ directory
This way we can check other directories usages. If you see /home is using all disk space, then find users error_log and clean. Also delete users generated backup.
Fix #1: Clear up unnecessary logs in
/usr/local/cpanel/logs/
/usr/local/apache/logs/
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/
Fix #2: Remove unnecessary old or duplicate folders such as
/usr/local/apache.*
/usr/local/maldet.*
