Uupss... I did it again. New sites owned by root

I'm trying to combine several cluster members in to one new ISPconfig 3 server but run in to interesting problem. Somewhere along the line when I was importing users from old clusters I accidentally over wrote something somewhere (most likely user account problem in /etc/shadow file modification). In my tests all new users created in the new ISPconfig server are created with the root user. So the new user (web690) did not get created in /etc/shadow.
For instance... I can see ISPconfig creating a proper folder structure for a new web690 site but site permissions are root:client114 not web690:client114 as it should. If I try to manually change the site permissions I get "invalid user: web690" because such user was not created.

Can any one wiser point me in the right direction here? I'm thinking somewhere along the line when I was importing user data with PHPmyAdmin I over wrote something that caused this?

Hi Sam,
Recently I convert my single installation on multi server setup, and I found this error:

Code:

root@web:/var/www/clients/client15# ls -l web1/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Sep 19 22:04 backup
drwxr-x--x  2 5004 5022 4096 Sep 19 22:04 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Sep 20 17:27 log
drwx--x---  2 5004 5022 4096 Sep 26  2015 private
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jan 21  2013 ssl
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Sep 13 22:45 tmp
drwx--x--x 23 5004 5022 4096 Aug 12 08:33 web
drwx--x---  2 5004 5022 4096 May 30  2013 webdav

I solved it by going to "System" --> "Server Config" --> Select my Web Server --> Select "Web" Tab --> On bottom "Permissions" options Check "Set folder permissions on update" --> Save. Make a "Resync Websites". And now everything work fine:

Code:

root@web:/var/www/clients/client15# ls -l web1/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     4096 Sep 19 22:04 backup
drwxr-x--x  2 web1 client15 4096 Sep 19 22:04 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     4096 Sep 20 17:27 log

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     4096 Jan 21  2013 ssl

drwx--x--x 23 web1 client15 4096 Aug 12 08:33 web

Tried this, I hope you get helpful!

 

That did not work for me. You actually have a user called "5004" there while I got "root".

Code:

root@net:/var/www# ls -ahl test3.s1.ic4.eu/web/
total 36K
drwx--x--x 4 root client115 4.0K Sep 30 11:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root      4.0K Sep 30 11:53 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root client115 4.0K Sep 30 11:53 error
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root      7.2K Sep 30 11:53 favicon.ico
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root        26 Sep 30 11:53 .htaccess
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root      1.9K Sep 30 11:53 index.html
-rwxr-xr-- 1 root root        14 Sep 30 11:53 robots.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root      4.0K Sep 30 11:53 stats

 

I think till is on to something. I seem to have copied all the sshusers groups from all the cluster members
So there are several sshusers groups which is propably what ruins the user creation.

Code:

root@net:/var/www# cat /etc/group |grep ssh
ssh:x:114:
sshusers:x:5002:web1
sshusers:x:1000:web20,web207,web252,web278,web398,web421,web480,web539,web584,web629,web644,web645,web664,web666,web677,web680,web681
sshusers:x:1000:web303,web396,web404,web425,web449,web466,web510,web520,web571,web592,web625,web640,web654,web656

 

I have said it before and I will say it again... Till. You are the man!
thx
