Too many levels of symbolic links in Plesk | Resolved

by | Dec 11, 2022

Let’s fix the issue of “Too many levels of symbolic links” in Plesk. At Bobcares, with our Plesk Hosting Support Services, we can handle your Plesk-related issues.

How to fix the issue of “Too many levels of symbolic links” in Plesk?

When we try to clone the WordPress instance, we may sometimes see the below error message:

Too many levels of symbolic links in plesk

The symbolic link file (db.php) in the error is a component of a WP plugin, such as query-monitor.

# ls -lah /var/www/vhosts/example.com/wp-content/db.php
..
db.php -> /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/query-monitor/wp-content/db.php
..

The cause behind the error may be the WordPress Toolkit bug EXTWPTOOLK-9401: WordPress Toolkit cannot process the symbolic link created by the plugin “query-monitor”.

Steps to fix the issue

We can follow the below steps to fix the issue:

  • Sign in to Plesk.
  • Go to Domains >> example.com > WordPress Toolkit >> Plugins.
  • On the original website, disable the problematic WordPress plugin before cloning.
  • Re-enable the plugin on the destination (newly cloned) website after making a copy of the original.
