Resolved Unable to SFTP (due to?) & Incorrect chown/chmod rights

[DaniëlB1990]

Hello!

I'm struggling quite some time now to get my Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS server with Plesk back to fully functioning but haven't had to much at at doing so.

The problem is currently that my chown, and possibly chmod rights aren't set with the correct rights and/or owner, which possibly makes me unable to log in on the SFTP of dbweb, for example 'ishetalbijna' is another user that is being chown'ed to folders of sites I host on it. "ls -lh /var/www/vhosts/*\.nl/", but I'm also unable to connect to the SFTP of "ishetalbijna" or any other SFTP user.

I've tried to repair it with options below but unfortunately had no luck restoring it correctly.

• Tools & Settings > Diagnose & Repair > Check all / Repair all
• Tools & Settings > Diagnose & Repair > File System > Check / Repair
• plesk repair fs -y
• plesk repair fs -vhost -y
• plesk repair fs utility doesn't set correct ownership if apache user is a file owner seemed somewhat the same
  • Resolution ( but this doesn't hit chroot other folders other then httpdocs )
    

    root@arcee ~ # grep db-webdiensten.nl /etc/passwd | head -1
    dbweb:x:10002:1003::/var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl:/opt/psa/bin/chrootsh
    root@arcee ~ # chown dbweb:psaserv /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/
    root@arcee ~ # chown dbweb:psaserv /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/httpdocs
    root@arcee ~ # chown dbweb:psacln /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/httpdocs/*
    root@arcee ~ # find /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/httpdocs/* -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
    root@arcee ~ # find /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/httpdocs/* -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

  find /var/www/vhosts/db-webdiensten.nl/httpdocs*/* -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

Nothing seems to work, so there for I'd like to call in help on this case, so I'm able to restore everything back to its original rights, which several other ways aren't capable of and lets me get back to work.

For additional information, please take a look at:

Hope to hear from you guys soon and have a happy new year ;-)
