PHP5-FPM 403 Forbidden: Fix

[RhysIT]

Hi There,

 

I managed to fix this error which some have been experiencing by adding the froxlorlocal user to the www-data group. In the configuration, the froxlorlocal group is added to the www-data user, however the www-data group needs to be added to the froxlorlocal user to work properly.

 

Unless I've done something wrong, this should be alright? It's strange how I am one of so few experiencing this issue, on both of my servers running froxlor. I can recreate it by installing and fully configuring froxlor, and then configuring php5-fpm (in order to correct permissions issues with Wordpress). From this point on, all created domains produce a 403 error.

P.S. Is it possible to run froxlor without creating users home directories under their own usernames? So just using www-data for everything?

 

P.P.S. Thank you so much for all you do! It's a fantastic product

It seems this needs to be run every time a new domain is created for the 403 Error to disappear

 

usermod -aG www-data froxlorlocal

service apache2 reload

 

Is there something that can be done to correct this?

[RhysIT]

Okay! So Update 2:

 

The domain successfully updates and works when I reboot the server. This must mean that something is not being reloaded in the cron job - just don't know what.

Update 3:

 

service nscd restart

service apache2 reload

 

fixes the issue. I don't know why nscd is caching so strictly.

This appears to not just affect Apache but also Nginx. I was getting a 403 forbidden error on my new domain until I restarted Nginx. I also restarted nscd  but I don't know if this did anything. It certainly didn't on its own.
