Drupal and Panel user issues

[npapazoglou]

I use Drupal 7 for a website. I had problems with the permissions for the drupal module installation & upgrades via the website. It was not possible to do this with the default plesk user psacln. So I changed the user and the group to www-data for all the files and the folders of the website. After this my Drupal works fine. But now I can't use the file manager to manage files and folders or the backup system of my Plesk panel as the panel has not permissions to make changes.
What could be the solution for this problem?

Hi,

first question would be:
- What Mode is your PHP running at?

Hi,
I see that PHP is running as Apache Module

Hi,

if I am not mistaken then you should have the following permissions:

Owner: www-data
Group: psacln

Permissions on Folder: 775 maybe even 750 or 710
Permissions on Files: 664

That should help in this case.
I would however suggest switiching to FastCGI Mode.

Kristian

Thank you very much.
I'll try all those and I'll give you a feedback.

Hi,
I did all your suggestions: fastcgi, ownership www-datasacln , folder permissions 775 except the folder: default that must not writable, file permissions to 644.

But I still have problems. The drupal works fine, but I can upload. I can not upload files via the website. I can upload only with www-data:www-data. Can I solve this problem?

I have not this problem on shared hosting with suPHP and cPanel.

Best regards,
Nicholas

Hi,
When I tried your setting, it did not work.
Then I tried this https://groups.drupal.org/node/140969
It did not helped me but after this I tried to set the default settings, user = domain username and group = psacln. For the file/folder permissions I followed your instructions and it worked.
Not I have not any problem. Everything is fine.

Thanks a lot.
