Issue Plesk websites is broken after this command

E.Swestberg

New Pleskian
I typed this command to console.
"sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www"
After that command my Plesk websites is not working anymore.

Error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.....

Any suggestion what I can try to fix it, please ?
my website folders are at "/var/www/vhosts/websites.com/" if that helps.

My setup is:
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #96

On my sever
/var/www/cgi-bin is root:root including subdirectories and files
/var/www/html is root:root including subdir and files
/var/www/usage is webalizer:root including subdir and files
vhosts is the one you probably messed up.
/var/www/vhosts is root:root but the subdirectories and files are appropriate for the domain user account.

chown "your_plesk_username: psaserv /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain/"
chown -R "your_plesk_username: psacln /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain/httpdocsdir"
chown "your_plesk_username: psaserv /var/www/vhosts/yourdomain/httpdocsdir"
I also have a few other directories, anon_ftp, cgi-bin, httpsdocs, and private which are "your_plesk_username: psaserv" ( I had to put a space between : and psaserve and psacln else I get a :p )

I'm sure there is a KB on proper file permissions kicking around.
 
# /usr/local/psa/bin/repair --restore-vhosts-permissions
