Resolved Plesk panel (8443) infinite loading

Anatras02

New Pleskian
Hello!
Yesterday I had a little bit problem after I deleted the /bin/bash file and so I had to change the shell.
I also had other problems with apt and so I ran some commands I found online. At the end of all I (almost) fixed everything but the plesk panel stopped working.
As you can see in the attachment se plesk panel infite loads, without any errors, it just loads.

Also when I try to run
Code:
/etc/init.d/psa restart
I get this error
Code:
/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa_service: 159: /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa_service: Bad substitution
 
Also everytime I try to install a package I get the error
Code:
E: The package plesk-service-node-utilities needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
 
Have you tried to use

# plesk repair installation

?
 
Login to a second SSH session, then look into your process list like
# ps aux | grep repair
to identify the hanging process id. Then look into the process if it is doing something and what it is doing like
# strace -p <pid from previous step>
 
At the end I fixed it.
The /bin/bash was linked to another file and that created a problem that blocked all the plesk services from loading.
