New subdomain: psaadm cannot chown anymore

[Rainer Koerner]

Hey guys, sorry for that stupid question, but I do need some expert help.

Yesterday I missed a dot in a command:

chown root /* instead of chown root ./*

I stopped the command after 2 secs, however Plesk (8.2.1) gives me a couple of permission issues which I do not understand at all. For example when I try to add a new subdomain:

Internal Plesk error occurred: Unable to execute subdomainmng: subdomainmng: ERROR: Unable to chown /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/test2: Operation not permitted System error 1: Operation not permitted subdomainmng: Unable to create directory '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/test2' System error 1: Operation not permitted

A folder test2 under vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains is created with ownership of psaadm, however there are no more subfolders.

drwxr-xr-x 2 psaadm psaadm 4096 Apr 28 12:51 test2

So it looks like it brakes down when it tries to chown the new folder. How can that be? Did my misspelled command change anything elemental? Is there a way to restore Plesks ownerships? My biggest problem is that I do not really understand where Plesk has all its files flying around...

I do appreciate each help. Thanks guys!

Oh dear, I see what happened. My mispelled command deleted the setuid flag. I reset it on /opt/psa/admin/bin and sbin and here we go, it works again . Thanks for storming my brain!
