getting error 403 after opening site

plesk : 12.0.18 Update #60
os : centos 7

I'm getting error 403 after opening site.

I found that problem was that apache user wasn't member of psasrv group.

If site was run under FastCGI then I was still getting error 403.
Then I added user nginx to psasrv group and site started to work.

Is it normal that users apache and nginx are members of psasrv group?

If yes maybe something happened during installation?

Yes, apache user should be member of psaserv group. It is correct behaviour. Otherwise Apache does not have permission to read the vhost folder.

just to confirm if same thing is correct for nginx user?

Now I have this

psaserv:x:1003saadm,psaftp,apache,nginx
psacln:x:1004:

Is this all right for normal installation?

Thanks Igor.

 

[IgorG]

Yes, the same for nginx. Default settings:

# cat /etc/group | grep psaserv
psaserv:x:502:psaadm,psaftp,apache,nginx

Igor thank you for confirmation.

I have one more question because I can't find it in documentation.

I can't find details about psasrv & psacln groups in documentation.
Do you have maybe some links or if you can write something about them?

I also plan to implement mod_ruid2 to get speed and security, is this OK with plesk?

 

[IgorG]

I can't find details about psasrv & psacln groups in documentation.

What sort of details do you need?

I also plan to implement mod_ruid2 to get speed and security, is this OK with plesk?

http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/parallels-plesk-12.1-for-linux.html

mod_ruid2 support for Apache was added.

mod_ruid2 - good to know when that version get stable and I will do upgrade

psasrv & psacln

just general info for what they are used, standard configuration, why psacln is empty and when we put something in it.
In linux documentation such information are missing while in windows documentation I can see lots of information about security and some about psasrv & psacln groups.
Just to learn more about plesk.

When I had problem error 403 I did lots of googling before I solved problem.
Then I also found next KB http://kb.odin.com/en/120112
