There can be a permissions or directory ownership issue. Make sure that your document root directory of the website is owned by <your system user>:psaserv and the files and subdirectories inside are owned by <your system user>:psacln.
 
Thanks for the support. How do I check if indeed owned by:

<your system user>psaserv

Also, how to confirm files and subdirectories inside owned by:

<your system user>psacln

I am the only user and have been creating instances the similar way.
 
I should have been more elaborate on the explanation. I meant to check the permissions in your subsription folder. That is located in /var/www/vhosts/<subscription domain>. For example, first descend to the subscription with
# cd /var/www/vhosts/<your subscription domain>
From there run
# ls -la
and check ownership and permissions of your document root directory of the affected website(s). If you have placed your websites in a directory that is on a higher level, move up to that first. Some users for example do not user the easy Plesk configured directory structure but move all their document roots into httpdocs. Especially when these are created manually and not through Plesk they can have wrong group ownership and wrong permissions.
