Plesk Disk Limit not Affected by User Interaction

By Paulus, 9 August, 2010

Problem

Plesk states that the domain's alloted disk space is unlimited by when attempting to upload files, an error is thrown stating the quota has been reached.

Solution

  1. Login to Server
  2. Become root
  3. Execute the following command:
    # quota username

    username - is the ftp username that you are using to upload files. This will display the enforced quote.

  4. To change the quota:
    # edquota username

    vi will open up and allow you to change the quota, move the cursor under the word "hard" and set your quota there. Setting the quota to "0" means there is no quota. Save the file and check the results. Changes take affect immediately.
