I have a website running on apache server.
Yesterday, I logged in to my server and restarted passenger, apache server.
I restarted using command:
touch /tmp/restart.txt
After that, I noticed that the new uploaded files are changed ownership to paelz (my username) and permission to -rw-------. The files were uploaded by some other users using the website.
The older files has owner apache and permission: -rw-r--r--.
As a result, the website cannot load the new uploaded files. However, it can load the older ones.
If I run chmod 644 on the new uploaded files, the website can load the files normally. However, I want a permanent solution.
I want the new uploaded file owned by apache and has permission as the old ones.
My question is what caused this issue and how can I fix it.
Finally I found the answer.
It is not related to apache. It is related to passenger instead.

By default, passenger will run your app as the user who owns the
config/environment.rb or config.ru file, see
The config/environment.rb is owned by my account so passenger will run the app as my account.

I am trying to set up a webserver running on Ubuntu. I have installed Apache and changed the root directory to an other directory within /var/www/. When I copy the index.html provided by Apache to that directory, I can access that file via remote webbrowser. But if I want to use a different index.html file, even really basic ones, I get an error: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource". I have also tried to download that html, alter just a few lines and put it back on to the server with the result that it also shows that error. If I rename the initially provided index.html to index2.html I can still access it. I do not understand how it is possible that only this exact file is working.
I have tried to grant more permissions with Directory and restarted Apache but it won't work. I am rather new to Linux and Apache, can only use the terminal on my webserver and I do not know what else to do. Please help.
Change the permissions on the file, too, not just the folder. Pretty sure this fix it.
For diagnostic correction, allow permission for all by typing:
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/index.html
I have a dedicated server running Linux/Apache with cPanel. On one of my website's users are able to register and upload images.
However, over the last few days, i have received complaints that users cannot upload any media. When I check the /images/ directory I see that the /temp/ folder is missing.
So I re-created it and set the permissions to 0777.
Once that is completed all works fine. But I cannot understand why the directory is being removed. No one else has access to the site and I do not see anything in my error logs that show anything unusual.
Any ideas why this may happen?
Thank you
You need to check your PHP Script has code to unlink(dir) or Something
and Check cron list whether you have added any CRON to remove the TMP folder.
for Write permission 755 is enough If you are using Fcgi php handler, cgi, dso. Have a try 755 permission with one of the listed Handlers.
I wanted to copy my Drupal site to another location (VDS), I got full backup from my provider, (in tar.gz), untarred and ungzipped it, deleted some folders, zipped it again in 7zip format, then copied it with sftp to /var/www on VDS and unzipped, but all permissions now are read-only and so Drupal doesn't work at all cause it cannot acess files.
Can anyone tell when I lost my permissions, the right way to migrate to my VDS or (and) how can I manage with my corrupted-permission Drupal now (maybe I just can change them?)
Read only permission is generally fine for a Drupal site, except for the upload folder (it's nomally called files and in can be in sites/default or in sites/YOUR_SITE_CONFIGURATION_FOLDER or wherever you set it to be in admin/config/media/file-system). The files folder, and every subfolder it contains must be writable from the web server, so if your web server is running as the www-data user (the standard user for Apache in Ubuntu, other systems may differ) you can for example do
chmod -R o+w sites/default/files
chown -R www-data sites/default/files
I have been put in charge of an Ubuntu 13 server installation. Apache is configured to use /var/www as the default directory which is correct. The issue is that it seems there is a fallback directory configured that points to /usr/share. So if I type into a browser (www.address.com) it will serve the documents out of /var/www, but if I know the name of a directory in /usr/share and type in (www.address.com/sharedir) then it will serve out of the /usr/share directory. I have looked in the apache config file and default site config file and do not see this association. I do not want this behavior and am concerned that this is the default behavior out of the box.
Can anyone guide me to another areas where this behavior may be controlled/managed.
Thanks for any assistance.
Open your
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
file and replace
/var/www
to
/path/to/folder/you/wish
save and it will be better to restart apache by
service apache2 restart
Now put website contents to the new location /path/to/folder/you/wish.
Once you changed the Document root of the of the site as mentioned above, Then no files will be fetched from any other location. Hopes this will help you. :)
[SOLVED] After a bunch more digging around I discovered that the user that originally set up this server erroneously put .conf files in the 'conf.d' directory and 'mods-enabled' directory that were routing traffic to the other directories. Sorry to anyone that noodled on this one.
I have a cloud hosting linux solution. I had vsftpd working on it, but after having issues and tinkering with a lot of settings, I now have an issue where users can login using FTP and connect to the correct home directory, navigate within it, download files but they cannot upload files to the server. They get a time out error, which appears to be a permissions error, but I can't narrow it down any more than that. /var/logs/syslog gives nothing away.
The folders belong to the users. The parent www folder is set to 555. Can anyone help with this issue at all?
Cheers,

Try to set the permissions to 755, 555 doesn't allow writing for anyone. Are your user and group different?
You also may need to enable logging for FTP server. The time out error may include some other errors, not only permission denied.
To have extended logging change the variables in your ftp config file:
dual_log_enable=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
syslog_enable=NO
and check the log file name there.
you must create a folder into user folder (Example : /var/www/user1/upload).
and set permission 777 (Example : chmod 777 /var/www/user1/upload).
then upload file into this folder.
