[CC PMwiki list in case someone can tell me why PMwiki keeps generating new folders with Owner Apache and Group "Apache" which a contributor to this problem...it should be setting the owner and group to that of the local virtual domain owner:group
I also see some other PMwiki files are set to Apache and not the local owner:group drwxrwxrwx 9 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Sep 29 07:24 . drwxr-xr-x 6 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Jul 17 20:15 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 0 Oct 1 12:51 .flock drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Jul 22 14:31 GoldenGate drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 May 26 18:44 GoldenGate-DonorEvent -rw-rw-r-- 1 wikihinduorg psacln 31 Jun 27 2006 .htaccess -rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 0 Sep 29 07:24 .lastmod drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 May 26 18:49 Main -rw-r--rw- 1 apache apache 258335 Sep 29 07:24 .pageindex drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Sep 29 07:21 SanDiego drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Sep 29 07:24 SanDiego-DonorEvent drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Sep 29 07:24 Site drwxrwxrwx 2 wikihinduorg psacln 4096 Sep 30 09:25 SiteAdmin ?? ------------------- Sadhunathan: 1st, tell your team to inform me immediately if there are problems. it's a quick fix: set owner and group to the same for all folders in wiki.d just FYI: everytime the serve is rebooted PHP reverts to "Safe Mode ON" even though I have it set to "off" for wik.hindu.org in the PLESK set up panel. I have to work with ServePath on that one... it's a PLESK control panel issue. PHP Safe Mode On sets up very tight restrictions on creating and writing to directories. Though some say it adds more nuisance than real security typically out of the box installations, by policy, will have default config files set to safemode ON. And, myteriously, or some reason, many directories are getting created as owner Apache: group Apache... by PMwiki...instead of the "local" ownerships which should be "wikihinduorg:psacln" Now, the web server has no problem with folders owned by Apache.. but PHP does if safe mode is ON.. there is a quick solution to this problem which is to run cd /var/vhosts/www/wikihinduorg/httpdocs/ssc/ chown -R wikihinduorg:psacln wiki.d Now PHP sees all the directories as owned by the local virtual domain owner and is happy. feel free to do this on your own if you need to... it's not going to break anything... you may not remember all this but you can simply remember "Oh... wiki is down... make all the owners and groups the same." Meanwhile I'll work with ServePath tech support on making the PHP Safe mode OFF to stick somehow. I think we have to add it to a special custom httpd.conf include file that is not overwritten by PLESK on reboot. ------ Pranams, Dasan The wiki was down yesterday and is still down. I forwarded the mail to Tosha.
