Hi All,

When restoring a virtual server omn another server I get this,

rights are 0644

server is a complete new install on a fresh centos 7 system.

Anyone?

Adjusting permission rights is not working as a part of the restore is setting permission rights to folders

Active

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sun, 10/05/2014 - 11:33

Ok .. what if you run the lsattr command on that php5.cgi script?

just al lot of --- see attached

Ok, so no additional attributes are set that would prevent modification of that file.

Does the domain being restored have a website?

Submitted by doggy101 on Mon, 10/06/2014 - 06:20

Yes It has a website ( build with Wordpress) several mysql databases..

If you re-try the restore, does the same thing happen?

Also, if you add the line error_stack=1 to /etc/webmin/config , are any more details shown when the error happens?

What are the permissions and ownership of the /home/xxxxxxxx/cgi-bin directory? It looks like the domain owner doesn't have permissions to write to it..

Submitted by doggy101 on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 12:45

Hi Jamie, for the permissions see the first topic...

whenever i set them ahead, the restore procedure sets it back to 0644

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 17:46

Those are permissions on the cgi-bin directory right?

And I assume it is also owned by the domain owner Unix user?

Submitted by doggy101 on Mon, 10/13/2014 - 03:59

it's a completely newly build centos7 server, and I restored from a backup made on Ubuntu. so all permissions on folders are set bij the system, not by hand. and yes it's owned by the domain owner. :-)

Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 10/13/2014 - 19:48

Is there any chance I could login to this system myself, try a test restore, and see why it is failing? If so, email me at jcameron@virtualmin.com and we'll work out how I can gain access.

Alternately, if you can supply me with the backup that is triggering this problem, I can attempt to restore it on a test system.

Hi Jamie,

I had sent you an email yesterday...

Submitted by andreychek on Fri, 10/17/2014 - 10:16

What email address did you send it from? And do you happen to recall the email's subject? Knowing that will make it easy for him to search for it. Thanks!

Submitted by JamieCameron on Fri, 10/17/2014 - 11:21

Sorry, I didn't see your email - but maybe it got classified as spam :-(

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sat, 10/18/2014 - 17:50

Ok, got it .. I will reply via email.

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sun, 10/19/2014 - 08:10

Ok, I see the issue now - the problem was that the domain's cgi-bin directory did not have execute permissions even for the owner, meaning that its contents couldn't be listed!

I have added code to Virtualmin to fix this case in future, and completed the restore of the problem domain on your system by fixing the permissions on cgi-bin, and then re-running the restore with the flags --all-features --except-feature dir
