Hi, I accidentally changed permissions inside /var/www to specific user and group and my ISPconfig managing website stopped working with following error: =============================================== Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. =============================================== Is there a way how to return/rewrite permissions back to normal so my ISPc come back to normal, my backup is quite far away. I was browsing forum and googling solution for this, but nothing what I had tried, worked. Please can someone help me? Thank you.
Do you remember what you did? Then it may be possible to undo. Restoring backup is next best thing, but if you can not use your backups then this does not work. Strange backups those, though. Compare /var/www with a working ISPConfig system, and maybe you can see how your system is different.
Try Code: chown root:root /var/www chown root:root /var/www/* chown root:root php-fcgi-scripts -R chown ispconfig:ispconfig /var/www/ispconfig -R chown ispapps:ispapps /var/www/apps -R Should bring back your web interface. You have to investigate if you changed the ownership of the users webs. That would need to be corrected, too.
Thank you, it did something, now there is different error msg. All I did is, playing with permissions at /var/www . But nowhere else, websites working, just ISPconfig site on <IP>:8080 not working and this is the msg now after your help: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe Any idea? Thank you again guys!
Do you know the commands, that you did? Post the output of Code: ls -al /var/www ls -al /var/www/ispconfig/ tail /var/log/apache2/error.log Strange, didn't know there is a htaccess file ..
ls -al /var/www ls -al /var/www/ispconfig lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 34 May 9 2016 /var/www/ispconfig -> /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web tail /var/log/apache2/error.log [Wed May 20 23:13:43.101445 2020] [core:crit] [pid 21390] (13)Permission denied: [client <myIP>:13296] AH00529: /var/www/ispconfig/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable and that '/var/www/ispconfig/' is executable commands I used: find /var/www/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; find /var/www/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
It is good, that you posted the commands, because they did not what you described. This changed the permissions of all files to "644". Depending on your settings, this could(!) be harmless. However, some scripts may require execute rights. This changed the permissions of all directories to "755". Your error message suggests, that the webserver cannot read the directory. The directory needs to have the executable flag so that the web server can read it. In your screenshot it looks good to me. What gives "ls -al /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/"? Should look like this: Code: # ls -al /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/ drwxr-s--- 21 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mär 29 2018 . drwxr-s--- 9 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mär 29 2018 .. drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mai 30 2016 admin drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Aug 19 2018 automail -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 3188 Feb 25 05:22 capp.php drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Apr 9 2014 client -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 2970 Feb 25 05:22 content.php drwxr-s--- 7 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 20 2014 dashboard -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 1901 Feb 25 05:22 datalogstatus.php drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Feb 24 00:43 dns -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 0 Feb 25 05:22 dummy_login.html -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 18478 Feb 25 05:22 favicon.ico drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 20 2014 help -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 4533 Feb 25 05:22 index.php drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jun 5 2018 js -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 1649 Feb 25 05:22 keepalive.php drwxr-s--- 4 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mär 4 05:24 login drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jun 5 2018 mail drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 20 2014 mailuser drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Feb 24 00:43 monitor lrwxrwxrwx 1 ispconfig ispconfig 20 Jan 23 2016 munin -> /var/cache/munin/www -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 5177 Feb 25 05:22 nav.php drwxr-s--- 2 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mai 23 2017 remote -rwxr-x--- 1 ispconfig ispconfig 25 Feb 25 05:22 robots.txt drwxr-s--- 7 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mai 30 2016 sites drwxr-s--- 3 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 20 2014 strengthmeter drwxrws--- 2 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Apr 9 2014 temp drwxr-s--- 9 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 10 21:53 themes drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Mai 30 2016 tools drwxr-s--- 6 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Jan 20 2014 vm drwxr-s--- 3 ispconfig ispconfig 4096 Feb 24 00:43 wizard

Try "chown ispconfig:ispconfig /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/" If that doesn't work: "ls -al /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/"? Otherwise it could be something else, like selinux. Was it really working directly before you messed with the permissions, or did you also change other things? Is the error.log still the same? => Code: wget -q -O htf-common-issues.php "http://gitplace.net/pixcept/ispconfig-tools/raw/stable/htf-common-issues.php" && php -q htf-common-issues.php to view the report, run this command: Code: cat htf_report.txt | more

No, I was changing only permissions/ownership inside /var/www/
Is it possible to reinstall it, or run some "self" repair, so it would keep logins and replace everything else back to normal?
Yes, you can try it: Code: cd /tmp wget https://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.1.15p3.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.1.15p3.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install php -q update.php When asking for reconfiguring services, choose "yes" Did you recently change your PHP version? ISPC does support additional php versions, but does not support to change the systems standard php version. Go back to the standard version (I think for Jessie it is 5.6) with: Code: update-alternatives --config php update-alternatives --config php-cgi To install additional php versions see: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...fig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/ Edit: I have just seen, that your Debian version is 10. Then the system php should be 7.3. You should clean up your php versions ;-)
those permissions drwxr-sr-x mean the folders have been chmodded to 2755, maybe you used that on /var/www and it's being inherited? chmodding to 0755 should set them back to drwxr-xr-x
And it will absolutely kill any chroot jails. Also with the mode change of both files and directories you may have allowed access to read files which should not be allowed. Files containing passwords, data backups and similar are often only readable by the website user and group (that is the case for the /private directory of each site as well).
Thank you, I manged to fix that, by reinstall ispc and fixed php version. It's working after that! Thanks all of you for your time and help, it was very helpfull and I have learned a lot.
