We are not running CentOS so I can't help. But I have noticed a message pinned to the top of the forum "If you are still using CentOS 7.9, it's time to convert to Alma 8 with the free centos2alma tool by Plesk or Plesk Migrator." Maybe that's related to your issue.

For further information, I have checked proftpd.conf and the FTP group is set as psacln I've also checked the FTP user I created and they are in that group...

We have still made no progress with this problem. Has anyone else seen a similar issue? How did you solve it?

We have created an FTP account and it connects fine. Using the FTP account, we can see all the files and read the files but cannot modify them. What else do we need to do to give this account write permission?

Could it as the files are correctly served when the .htaccess is removed/renamed?

Thanks Peter. I am pretty sure it is not a permission error on the .htaccess file. Apache must be able to open it to generate the error it gives! Besides, if I take out the contents of the file and just leave a blank file, the 403 error goes. So it's what is in the file that is clashing with...

Yes! Ensure you have a complete backup and data dump of your MariaDB databases. Run mariabackup and mysqldump. Stop your database and run the upgrade tool which will check table compatibility. You might find it easier to start again from your dump file(s). In which case, install a fresh...

I have a .htaccess file that uses the RewriteEngine but as soon as I set this to on, I get a 403 error. This entry is in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file: <Directory /var/www/> <Files ~ (\.pl$)> SetHandler cgi-script Options ExecCGI allow from all </Files>...

I think I've solved it...by changing the default directive in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to: <Directory /var/www/> <Files ~ (\.pl$)> SetHandler cgi-script Options ExecCGI allow from all </Files> AddHandler cgi-script .pl Options ExecCGI Indexes...

Thank you. As you rightly suggested, the problem was caused by a permission error. Is there somewhere I can put the Apache directive so it applies to all sites under /var/www/vhosts/ instead of having to add it to every domain?

Thanks for the update... I'm new to Plesk and currently moving sites to a staging area on a dev server running 18.0.59 #2 - your update is helpful :)

I'm new to Plesk, having only installed Obsidian Version 18.0.59 yesterday on a Debian 12 VPS. We are moving from shared hosting, which we have outgrown. Many of our web pages are dynamically generated with Perl. This does not just run in the cgi-bin but sits in many directories as the...
