can't create root folder

Good Day,

Using latest ISPConfig on a CentOS 6.5 box

I'm moving my customer from cPanel to ISPConfig, he has his own CMS solution and he needs an extra folder:

root@host web1]# ll
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 19:25 log
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 private
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:58 ssl
drwxrwx--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 tmp
drwx--x--x 7 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 18:18 web
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 webdav

[root@host web1]# pwd
/var/www/clients/client1/web1

[root@host web1]# mkdir web1
mkdir: cannot create directory `web1': Permission denied

How can I do this?

Thank You,

JP

 

Thanks for the super and fast response.

I changed the rights - is that the right thing to do?

[root@host web1]# ll
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 19:25 log
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 private
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:58 ssl
drwxrwx--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 tmp
drwx--x--x 7 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 18:18 web
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 20:00 web1
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 webdav
[root@host web1]# chown web1.client1 web1

[root@host web1]# ll
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 19:25 log
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 private
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 10 04:58 ssl
drwxrwx--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 tmp
drwx--x--x 7 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 18:18 web
drwxr-xr-x 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 20:00 web1
drwx--x--- 2 web1 client1 4096 Oct 10 04:35 webdav

Now I guess I'll read up on : man chattr

So far so good. I now have 2 issues with web (apache or PHP config) and FTP.

I finally needed these 2 folders (not web1):
mkdir /var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules
mkdir /var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts
once uploaded the content
chown -R web1.client1 /var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules
chown -R web1.client1 /var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts

1) I don't see the new folders when I connect with my FTP user

2) I get an error with open_basedir:

Warning: require_once(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/NviClassLoader.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/private:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp:/var/www/silanis.com/web:/srv/www/silanis.com/web:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin) in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public/index.php on line 11 Warning: require_once(/var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/NviClassLoader.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public/index.php on line 11 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '../../../lib/NviClassLoader.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public/index.php on line 11

Do I add a specific path to PHP open_basedir in ISPConfig/website/Options ?

This is what I presently have:
/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/private:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp:/var/www/silanis.com/web:/srv/www/silanis.com/web:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin

like:
/var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts:

At the end would be OK?

Thanks,

JP

 

/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/private:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp:/var/www/silanis.com/web:/srv/www/silanis.com/web:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin

didn't work? (even restarted apache in case).

I still get my error and don't see folders in FTP

----------------------------------------------------------
Also, I need these paths to be permanent in (for their CMS):
vi /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/silanis.com.vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public
...
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public
...

Thanks, if this works out well, I will have a few sites to transfer afterwards.

3) How do I create a symlink that works in suPHP? I can't 'su web1'

# pwd
/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Oct 10 23:01 info2.php -> /var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/info.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Oct 10 22:59 info.php -> /var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/info.php

I can't chmod, chown or chgrp. I get a 500 error Probably normal with 777

Thanks,

JP

 

Sorry, I know this is getting a bit heavy. I want to avoid opening different tickets and I post as I find solutions so you don't work for nothing.

Here's a recap...

I created 3 new folders for a customer's CMS:
mkdir /var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib
mkdir /var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules
mkdir /var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts

1) I still can't see the new folders I created (lib, modules, scripts) in FTP? Is there something to change in pure-ftpd?

2) My PHP open_basedir seems fixed with this:
/var/www/clients/client1/web1:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/modules:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/scripts:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/private:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp:/var/www/silanis.com/web:/srv/www/silanis.com/web:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin

fixed a Zend path issue with an include_path in 'Web Domain/Options/Custom php.ini settings'


Also, I need this paths to be permanent in (for their CMS):
vi /etc/httpd/conf/sites-available/silanis.com.vhost

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public
...
<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/silanis.com/public
...

Can it be fixed with 'Apache Directives' in Web Domains/Options?
I usually lose /silanis.com/public


3) How to create symlink? See previous Post.

Thank You once again,

JP

 

Thank you. It's all good now.

Must have been a refresh issue with my FTP client? I did refresh even close and reconnect it wouldn't work? It's OK today.

I added the DocumentRoot and path to the Apache Directives.

---------
For the symlink, i can only create it as root. Is this OK? How can I create it as the web user if he doesn't exist?

Go from:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Oct 10 23:01 info2.php -> /var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/info.php

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Oct 13 18:22 info3.php -> ../../../lib/info.php

to:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 web1 client1 42 Oct 10 23:01 info2.php -> /var/www/clients/client1/web1/lib/info.php

I seem to be getting 500 errors (suPHP) with this. Wether I use a relative or absolute path? Could it be the user or rights (not 640 or 755)

Thanks,

JP
