FTP rights problem (psacln)

[Fritz MichaelG]

Let's say I have a subscription with the following hosting parameters:

• PHP via FastCGI
• System user: foo
• FTP Access enabled for system user (SSH access: /bin/bash)

Now, everytime I upload a file via FTP to that subscription, using the system user account foo, the owner:group information of that file will be foo:psacln. However, the Apache Server is unable to read any files (except PHP files) that have the property foo:psacln instead of foo:psaserv for instance, even with 751 permissions (read for everyone). If a file is requested directly via Apache, Apache will only give a 403 Forbidden for that file, as long as the ownership is foo:psacln (and the permissions are 750 (or 770, or 751, etc.; as long as it's not **7)). I always need to change the group of the uploaded files to psaserv manually, in order for them to be directly accessible via Apache.

Why does this happen? Have I misconfigured something?

Hi,

The ownership with web content is correct, foosacln.

I've encountered a similar problem before. While preforming a recursive ownership change, I accidentally modified the httpdocs folder to foosacln. This stopped the web server from being able to access the directory and it's contents. The resolution was to adjust ownership of httpdocs to foosaserv, all web content should be foosacln.

But that's the point - the httpdocs folders do have foo:psaserv, but Apache will refuse to access any assets which have foo:psacln, without read access for "everyone" on those files.

This is really annoying, is there really no way to solve this or some kind of best-practise instruction?
