  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

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.
