Hi, I created an ftp user and i tried to use it to write to the server, and i get permission denied error, i searched google and i found this solution chown -R -v -f web7 web but it tells me failed to change ownership of ‘web’ to web7 i am using centos 7 with ispconfig 3.1 p1 any help would greatly be appreciated.
There should be no need for such a manual change as the web folder and ftp user have the same owner. You tried to upload a file to the "web" folder of the site, not the / folder?
thats correct, in the web folder, the user that i created the ftp for, he said he tried to overwrite some files in the web folder, but gets an error of permissions not allowing him to. he is accessing it remotely, i am not sure if that makes a difference! he can login and access it, he can read the files but not overwrite them with new files.
here is the error the ftp gives, and this is me on the same lan network trying, only root user can write! i tried to OVERWRITE the php.ini in the /web folder and got the below error Status: Starting upload of C:\Users\blush\Desktop\php.ini Command: PASV Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,20,125,239) Command: STOR php.ini Response: 553 Can't open that file: Permission denied Error: Critical file transfer error
results of ls -al /var/www/matchmyshidduch.com/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 27 2016 /var/www/matchmyshidduch.com -> /var/www/clients/client0/web7/ it seems like root has the ownership, but in ispconfig, when i create a user, shouldn't that user also get access automatically? is there a way to allow the users to have access? i tried chown -R -v -f web7 web but it tells me failed to change ownership of ‘web’ to web7
The ownership of the symlink is fine and has to be root, the ownership of the link is not the cause. You have to enter the folder and then run ls command to get the the ownership of the web folder: cd /var/www/matchmyshidduch.com ls -la
sorry about that, here are the results, how do i resolve the issue? also how do i make sure when i create a new user either for this site or another sight on the same vhosts that i wont have this problem? total 12 drwxr-xr-x 11 web7 client0 111 Feb 2 13:41 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jul 27 2016 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 web7 client0 6 Jul 27 2016 backup drwxr-xr-x 2 web7 client0 6 Jul 27 2016 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Feb 2 13:44 home drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 6 00:06 log drwx--x--- 2 web7 client0 6 Jul 27 2016 private drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Jul 27 2016 ssl drwxrwxrwx 2 web7 client0 6 Feb 6 10:07 tmp drwxrwxrwx 11 10009 504 4096 Feb 5 21:00 web drwx--x--- 2 web7 client0 6 Jul 27 2016 webdav
The web directory has indeed a wrong owner (not even existing owner), maybe it was copied from another server? To fix it, run: chattr -i /var/www/clients/client0/web7 chown -R web7:client0 /var/www/clients/client0/web7/web chattr +i /var/www/clients/client0/web7
could the problem be from the settings: Set folder permissions on update NO SELECTED Make web folders immutable (extended attributes) SELECTED Add web users to -sshusers- group SELECTED Connect Linux userid to webid NOT SELECTED Start ID for userid/webid connect 10000
@till, Have the same problem where users get access denied which i belie is because of permission issues, have tried reassigning permissions using commands below but still get error. Kindly help chattr -i /var/www/clients/client8/web10 chown -R web10:client8 /var/www/clients/client8/web10/web chattr +i /var/www/clients/client8/web10
Which users? What were the owners before you did chown -R web10:client8 ? Can you show ls -lh for that web directory?
