Issue Problems with Open-Basedir and .htaccess (Plesk Obsidian 18.0.68 Web Pro Edition on Debian 12.9)

Hello,


I try to move our website to a new plesk server, but I have some problems I can't solve.

Our website has three languages and we have three domains: website.de, website.com, website.fr

The domains have their directories /var/www/vhosts/website.de/httpdocs, /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs, /var/www/vhosts/website.fr/httpdocs

I have a management-domain website.net which has its directory /var/www/vhosts/website.net/httpdocs

Since there are hundrets of thousands jpg and pdf files and the php-files are also all the same, only the config files are different, I have all those original files in /var/www/vhosts/website.net/httpdocs

In the language domains I have symbolic links to all files and directories. In every php-config I have the open_basedir setting as follows:
{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}:/var/www/vhosts/domain.net/httpdocs
Files have mode 644, and directories 755

When I try to open a picture https://domain.com/img/picture.jpg, this works, when Proxy-Mode under nginx-settings is turned off.
When proxy-mode is turned on, I get a 403
AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /var/www/vhosts/domain.net/img/image.jpg

My old server has Proxy mode enabled and it works without problems. I have the same setup there.



My other problem is the .htaccess with hundrets of rewrites, which is ignored. I don't know why. I cannot find any setting in plesk, where I can enable the .htaccess.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

Best regards
Ralph

The .htaccess is a apache thing meaning you need to have proxy mode enabled and configured PHP to be either FPM application served by Apache or FastCGI application served by Apache for .htaccess to be honored.

Also make sure Restrict the ability to follow symbolic links is turned off in the Apache & nginx Settings.

I have chosen FPM application served by Apache and Restrict the ability to follow symbolic links is disabled. This is also the setting on the old server. But I get this error message anyway. I even made a subdomain test.domoin.net, which is in the same subscription in /var/www/vhosts/domain.net/test.domain.net. So it has even the same user, but it doesn't work.

Might wanna refer to https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...ink-not-allowed-or-link-target-not-accessible and see if that solution works for you
