Topic: Primary I-bay website no longer accessible from inside or outside internet.

[JRBATM20192021]

Hello,

I have come across a new problem that I have been unable to solve.... I went to create a new I-bay yesterday I went in to server manager and made an I-bay and a user to use it I set the chroot path so they can go right to there I-bay etc. I also made a group to put the Administrator and User in so they can use the same I bay. All goes well or so I think... Later that day I learn that all 3 of my websites that are on the same server are no longer accessible to outside/inside IP networks. All 3 display the following message

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

While all the main links don't work all of my auxiliary site.com/second don't work either. However site.com/webmail works just fine. My email and FTP sides of the server are 100% unaffected and working just fine. It seems like all I did was change the public viewing setting on the Primary and Auxiliary I Bay even though it is telling me it is set correctly at 755. Not sure what I am doing wrong here......

The only weird thing the server is telling me in the log is that I deleted admin from the group admin?? There's no way to do that I think so I am really confused as to why it said that....

Any help, advice, suggestions and even criticism is welcomed at this point.

Thank you

what gives
grep www /etc/group

I wish I knew.....

Is that a command to try? I will try it

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

it is.
cue: it should show www in all your groups  associated to an ibay. including the group shared. 
of not you have encountered this bug https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12146

Okay so etc should be where I put the name of the I-bay like Primary right?

[JRBATM20192021]

I must not know how to enter it or I have encountered the bug I tried entering in the following combinations

grep www /etc/group

grep www /Ibayname/group

Nothing happened it acted like I had a blank space and hit enter

Okay reading your bug report I am misunderstanding that the only way to fix the issue is to restore from backup?

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

you are misunderstanding.


I can only assume that something happened and reversed the order of apache and www in /etc/passwd.

what returns
egrep 'www|apache' /etc/passwd

no proof it is not already in this state in your backup.

[JRBATM20192021]

its returning no such file or directory

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

its returning no such file or directory

you are not typing it correctly then.

Typically you should get this:

[root@esmith ~]# egrep 'www|apache' /etc/passwd

Code: [Select]

apache:x:102:102:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin
www:x:102:102:SME Server web server:/home/e-smith:/bin/false

Or

[root@esmith ~]# grep www /etc/group

Code: [Select]

www:x:102:admin,apache
webstuff:x:5101:admin,user1,user2,www


[JRBATM20192021]

Okay let me try again

[JRBATM20192021]

here is what mine returns

[root@www ~]# egrep 'www|apache' /etc/passwd
apache:x:102:102:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin
www:x:102:102:SME Server web server:/home/e-smith:/bin/false
[root@www ~]# grep www /etc/group
www:x:102:admin,apache
commercials28:x:5060:admin,www,tvcommercials
[root@www ~]#

[JRBATM20192021]

Tv commercials is the Ibay I made the other day

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

waiting the bug to be fixed:

Code: [Select]

usermod -a -G shared www
would workaround the missing www in shared group for your Primary ibay.

beware this is an uppercase G, not a lowercase g. 

then you will need to restart apache

Code: [Select]

systemctl restart httpd-e-smith
