interface messed up (500) [solved]

Discussion in 'Installation/Configuration' started by electronico_nc, Nov 7, 2018.

  1. Hi all,
    So I was configuring ISPConfig 3.13 (mirrored cluster on Ubuntu 18.04) after a migration.
    I setup a site called host1.domain.com and used Lets Encrypt to have a nice SSL connection to ISPConfig interface.
    I think to have changed this site configuration and now I can't connect to https://host1.domain.com:8080
    I get : Internal Server error
    Looking at /var/log/apache2/error.log :
    Code:
    [Wed Nov 07 21:03:03.805772 2018] [fcgid:warn] [pid 17016] (104)Connection reset by peer: [client 202.22.143.149:41152] mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server

    /var/log/apache2/suexec.log :
    Code:

    Last POST from vhost access log before the 500 error (sanitized) :
    Code:

    Strangely permissions on website are showing :
    Code:
    ls -lhtr /var/www/clients/client19/web393
    total 28K
    drwx--x--- 2 web393 10011 4,0K nov.   5 09:32 webdav
    drwxrwx--- 2 web393 10011 4,0K nov.   5 09:32 tmp
    drwx--x--- 2 web393 10011 4,0K nov.   5 09:32 private
    drwxr-xr-x 2 web393 10011 4,0K nov.   5 09:32 cgi-bin
    drwx--x--x 4 web393 10011 4,0K nov.   5 09:32 web
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root  4,0K nov.   5 09:32 ssl
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root  4,0K nov.   7 20:32 log
    But group should be 'client19' :
    Code:
    ls -lha /var/www | grep web393
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  root        33 nov.   5 09:32 host1.domain.com -> /var/www/clients/client19/web393/
    Strange thing is that : https://host1.domain.com:8080/phpmyadmin is running OK

    I don"t know where to start to make ISPConfig interface running again.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.
    Nicolas

    Edit : from memory I changed the owner of host1.domain.com

  2. Looking at the old server, it seems I have desactivated the main reseller on the new setup :
    OLD SERVER:
    Code:
     cat /etc/passwd | grep 10011
    ...
    web271:x:10271:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web271:/bin/false
    web277:x:10277:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web277:/bin/false
    web291:x:10291:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web291:/bin/false
    web295:x:10295:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web295:/bin/false
    web301:x:10301:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web301:/bin/false
    web317:x:10317:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web317:/bin/false
    web331:x:10331:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web331:/bin/false
    web333:x:10333:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web333:/bin/false
    web335:x:10335:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web335:/bin/false
    web343:x:10343:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web343:/bin/false
    web345:x:10345:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web345:/bin/false
    web347:x:10347:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web347:/bin/false
    web287:x:10287:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web287:/bin/false
    web394:x:10394:10011::/var/www/clients/client19/web394:/bin/false
    ...
    Code:
     cat /etc/group | grep 10011
    client19:x:10011:www-data
    NEW SERVER :
    Code:
     cat /etc/passwd | grep 10011
    web11:x:10011:10151::/var/www/clients/client19/web11:/bin/false
    Code:
    cat /etc/group | grep 10011
    no result from the last command...
    Is there any proper way to re-inject the /etc/passwd etc... files and made ISPConfig live again ?

    May the dbispconfig2 database from the mirror server be usefull ?

    In your old server, 10011 was the group id; on your new server it is 10151; so compare with
    Code:
    grep 10151 /etc/group
    If you only made changes in the ISPConfig ui, I wouldn't guess that your problem is in /etc/passwd.

    Can you login via the ip address? https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/ .. if so, fix your host1 vhost from there.
     
  4. Thanks for your answer !
    Code:
    grep 10151 /etc/group
    client19:x:10151:www-data
    Yes I was making changes on ISPConfig GUI only.
    No changes using IP instead of hostname : still error 500 on :8080, but phpmyadmin accessible on :8080/phpmyadmin
    https://host1.domain.com/webmail is well displaying roundcube too ...

  5. So, I'm now pretty sure the last modification I made on the vhost was to changes PHP to FastCGI.
    Looking at /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost
    Code:
      <Directory /var/www/ispconfig/>
        <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
          SetHandler None
        </FilesMatch>
      </Directory>
      <Directory /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/>
        <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
          SetHandler None
        </FilesMatch>
      </Directory>
    
      <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/ispconfig/
        SuexecUserGroup ispconfig ispconfig
        <Directory /var/www/ispconfig/>
          Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI
          AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit Options FileInfo
          <FilesMatch "\.php$">
            SetHandler fcgid-script
          </FilesMatch>
          FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/ispconfig/.php-fcgi-starter .php
                Require all granted
              </Directory>
        IPCCommTimeout  7200
        MaxRequestLen 15728640
      </IfModule>
    Here is the result FCGIWrapper file content :
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    PHPRC=/etc/php/7.0/cgi/
    export PHPRC
    export PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=5000
    export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=1
    exec /usr/bin/php-cgi \
        -d disable_classes= \
        -d disable_functions= \
        -d magic_quotes_gpc=off \
        -d open_basedir= \
        -d session.save_path=/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/temp
    but PHP is 7.2, not 7.0:
    Code:
    php --version
    PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 13:45:02) ( NTS )
    Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
    Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
        with Zend OPcache v7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies[/code}
    I tried to change PHPRC to 7.2 directory and Apache2 restart but no luck.
    suexec.log still shows :
    Code:
    [2018-11-08 06:24:22]: uid: (20004/ispconfig) gid: (20006/ispconfig) cmd: .php-fcgi-starter
    [2018-11-08 06:24:22]: target uid/gid (20004/20006) mismatch with directory (10382/10383) or program (10382/10383)
    I'm pretty sure it just need to change PHP option in vhost from 'fcgi' to 'y' to make it run again.
    (I'm now pretty sure to have troubles with PHP on this installation too, as it should run under FastCGI)
    I thought to use the 'remoter' user, but no way as ISPConfig Interface can't be reached...

  6. Well, after a lot of digging, solution to make interface live again was :
    Modify /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/ispconfig/.php-fcgi-starter to point to right PHP version :
    Code:
    PHPRC=/etc/php/7.0/cgi/
    to
    Code:
    PHPRC=/etc/php/7.2/cgi/
    Modify permissions on /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/ispconfig from:
    Code:
    drwxr-xr-x   2 web382     10383 4,0K nov.   8 06:23 ispconfig
    to
    Code:
    drwxr-xr-x   2 ispconfig     ispconfig 4,0K nov.   8 06:23 ispconfig
    by command :
    Code:
    chown -R ispconfig:ispconfig /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/ispconfig
    systemctl restart apache2
    I really don't understand how the normal ISPConfig interface can produce this kind of troubles (bad PHP version, bad permissions)...
     
  7. After that I launched a complete resync (everything checked) through ISPConfig interface, I had a
    Code:
    1.CSRF attempt blocked
    I'll continue to test ...
