• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Cronjob File Permissions Query

When running a Cronjob for a specific domain, what file permissions/ownership should be set for the Cronjob/Plesk to function correctly?

I am currently using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, so for example default user/group permissions might be = root/root

Say for instance the domain is:

'mydomain.com' in Plesk/Virtuozzo this user will exists as 'mydomain'

What user/group should be set for the 'cronjob.php' file in order for the Plesk GUI 'Crontab' to have permissions to execute said file.


Thanks in advance DM.
 
The cronjob created via Plesk will be executed as user which you have chose during task creation.
So you need that executed script has 'read' and 'execute' permissions granted for the user.
For example, if the script is placed inside httpdocs folder and if the ftp user name is mydomain the script can have mydomain : psacln ownership and 700 permissions set.
