Systemctl commands timeout and Failed to execute operation: Connection reset by peer

[RhetoricalJudo]

i have virtualmin installed with centos 7 and today weird thing was happening, when every i try to restart any service say httpd, mysql or webmin

Command:
systemctl restart httpd or systemctl status named

i get the following message:

Failed to execute operation: Connection reset by peer

or somtime when I try to execute systemctl using the root account they fail with a Connection timed out error:

The same thing occurs with systemctl start or systemctl stop when ran as root.

Any help how to resolve the issue?

hi, i had the same issue, some time ago.

There are two alternative solutions to the problem:

1- rebooting with

 
 systemctl --force --force reboot

or

2- without reboot, just moving session files

 
 mv /run/systemd/system/session-*.scope /tmp/
