Wrong apache+php user permissions

Hi friends, I'm having a strange issue that never I see in Ispconfig.

I usually install ispconfig3 (latest version) over Ubuntu 8.04 with total sucess!

But recently I need to install on a Debian 5.0.7. I follow the instructions of the 'official perfect setup' from How2forge and the installation works well.

But, the problem is the permissions of php user, that is configure with Suexec + fastcgi, look:

uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),5003(ispapps),5004(ispconfig),5005(client1)

But in another server I got the normal result:

uid=5005(webx), gid=2006(clientx)

Anynone know why this occours?

Thanks

 

One information that may be util:

www-data 3842 0.0 0.0 168316 13332 ? S 15:54 0:00 /usr/bin/php-cgi -d open_basedir=/var/www/clients/client1/web4/web:/var/www/clients/client1/

Look, the php-cgi process is spawned by wrong user (www-data).

In other servers the process is spawned by the webX user like below:

web206 32710 3.6 0.1 165340 12980 ? S 17:04 0:22 /usr/bin/php-cgi -d open_basedir=/var/www/clients/client75/web206 -d upload_tmp_dir=/var/www/clients/client75/web206/tmp -d session.save_path=/var/www/clients/client75/web206/tmp


Anybody know what'is going?

 

Looks as if suexec is not enabled in that website. Please post the apache vhost configuration file of the affected site.

additionally, take a look into the ispconfig monitor and check if there are any jobs listed in the jobqueue.

 

Thanks for your reply till, I saw the jobqueue and it's working well, the tasks has been executed and dissapear from jobqueue.

Thanks again!

 

The vhsot config looks fine. Please post the output of this command:

grep web4 /etc/passwd

 

Till, here is the output:

web:~# grep web4 /etc/passwd
web4:x:5004:5005::/var/www/clients/client1/web4:/bin/false

/etc/group
vmail:x:5000:
getmail:x:5001:
sshusers:x:5002:web4
ispapps:x:5003:www-data
ispconfig:x:5004:www-data
client1:x:5005:www-data

Anything strange?

Thanks

 

Till, I FOUND the problem, the debian package apache2-suexec-custom was missing!

I simply do this:

apt-get install apache2-suexec-custom

Restart the apache and the repeating the tests I got this output:

# id
uid=5004(web4) gid=5005(client1) groups=5002(sshusers),5005(client1)

And the ps aux:

web4 9058 0.0 0.0 168312 13280 ? S 21:11 0:00 /usr/bin/php-cgi -d open_basedir=/var/www/clients/client1/web4/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web4/tmp:/var/www/new.compreauto.com.br/web:/srv/www/new.compreauto.com.br/web:/usr/share/php5:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin -d upload_tmp_dir=/var/www/clients/client1/web4/tmp -d session.save_path=/var/www/clients/client1/web4/tmp

I search in the how to ( http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3-p4 ) and the line refering a apache/php install is:

apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli php5-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec php-pear php-auth php5-mcrypt mcrypt php5-imagick imagemagick libapache2-mod-suphp libapache2-mod-ruby

Just apache2-suexec was installed, so I think that tip maybe util for Debian 5.0.7 users in general!

But I feel other difference between ispconfig in Debian 5 than Ubuntu 8.0.4, the user web4 in Ubuntu keep's into the home directory (/var/www/clients/client1/, he cannot listen / or /tmp for example.)

Do you know a tip to fix that?

Is horrible to know that a malicious php script can list the /var/www/clients.

Thanks and I again, the original problem is SOLVED, I expose the second problem in this thread just because I consider a bit related

 

All problems are SOLVED, remember to use aways the latest packages with apt-get!

Thanks Till!
