Run PHP as User

[Ipswise]

Hello,

since a few days this plugin don't work anymore. It says in red letters: "License status: . You can buy Run PHP as User license"
I had buyed and installed a license in January 2011 and all worked fine until a few days.

Under https://secure.helixdevelopment.com you can only input an password - but nobody knew this.
Help please!!!!

Hi could you let me know if this is still supported and if so the best method of contact.

Thanks done that fine a got a quick response now though it appears their domain has expired

This domain name expired on 01/01/2012 and is pending renewal or deletion

I hope this issue with GoDaddy will be resolved soon.
Quick workaround is to add the following lines to /etc/hosts on WHMCS server:

204.11.96.19 secure.helixdevelopment.com
204.11.102.66 helixdevelopment.com www.helixdevelopment.com

Also you can add these lines to hosts file on your workstation:

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts --- hosts file in Windows
/etc/hosts -- hosts file in Linux

Thanks.

 

[tenaki]

Thanks for that I hope you get it sorted

DNS of helixdevelopment.com is available.

Excellent thanks for the update

Plesk Wordpress issue solved with this?

Could this be used to solve the Plesk Wordpress problem. Wordpress is unable to write files and update itself because it's running as apache and doesn't have permission to write files. The solution is to open up the permissions. However, if PHP was running as the FTP user, would Wordpress be able to write files?

Thank you,
James

I would be interested in this answer as well, does not seem to be answered previously. I am facing same problem as theywill above.

Thanks

Drupal 6 & 7 + Ubuntu and Plesk 10.4.4 installations were successfully secured.

Drupal 6 & 7 + Ubuntu and Plesk 10.4.4 installations were successfully secured with "Run PHP as User" script.

This script is used to fix permissions of a drupal installation.
You need to provide the following arguments:
1) Path to your drupal installation
2) Username of the user that you want to give files/directories ownership
Note: "psacln" is assumed as the group the server is belonging to, if this is different you need to modify it manually by editing this script

Part of the script:

#!/bin/bash

# System group of directories / files inside of Drupal directory
group='psacln'
# Directory permissions (r/o)
DIR_PERM='555'
# PHP file permissions (user r/o)
PHP_PERM='400'
# Common (non-PHP) file permissions (r/o)
FILE_PERM='444'
# Sites files directory and subdirectories permissions (r/w)
SITE_FILES_D='755'
# Permissions of files in such directories (r/w)
SITE_FILES_F='644'
# Site files folder location (normally 'sites/default/files')
SITE_FILES_L='_resources'
# Private files folder location (normally 'sites/default/files/private')
SITE_FILES_PRIVATE_L='_private'

Does this also work on Plesk 10.x on OpenSUSE 11

Hi, this sounds great for a Joomla access problem I have on a server (modules uploaded by Joomla can't be changed using FTP user).

Our Plesk 10.1.1 is running under OpenSUSE 11 and apache has the user "wwwrun" and group "www".
Also the path of the virtual host is slightly different, i.e. starting with /srv/www/vhosts/DOMAIN.NAME/httpdocs

Would this Plesk addon also work on such a configuration?
Could I test this?

Thanks,
Christian.
