Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Event Handler To Change Default Permissions Of Skeleton Site
Mar 1, 2015
I am running Plesk 11.5.30 on CentOS and trying to change the default permissions of the /httpdocs folder and the skeleton site that is in .skel/0/httpdocs that appears when a domain is created. I have failed to find the event that I need to use to trigger the command.
Which Event Handler gets fired when a subscription is created? I've tried both "Hosting settings created" and "Default domain (the first domain added to a subscription/webspace) created" but those don't seem to be firing when I create a new subscription. After creating the Event Handler the psa service was restarted each time. I have a script setup to just log the NEW_DOMAIN_NAME to a file, but that isn't happening.
On a server which was running for years now and was updated from plesk 10 to plesk 11 and also to plesk 12 (12.0.18 Update #29) there seems to be a bug.
Customers are able to change PHP handler while in site_isolation_settings.ini it is not allowed: php_handler_type = fastcgi
PSA service was restarted too: /etc/init.d/psa restart
This is a serious issue because customers should not be able to change PHP handler type.
Only abonnements created with older Plesk versions are affected. I cannot say which version exactly because server had installed Plesk 10, 11 and 12. What do we have to modify to disallow changing the PHP handler type for this abonnements created with Plesk versions befor Plesk 12?
At some point, not sure when, PHPMyAdmin's (as accessed through the admin panel by clicking on a customer, manage hosting, databases, etc) permissions have changed such that I cannot view, edit or add MySQL routines/procedures. This appears to have occurred system-wide, though I have not checked every database on the server.
Is there a fix to get the permissions set so that I can make these changes again?
I am noticing that several of my users are wiping out their user root folders ( logs, error docs, etc...) when they fail to use '/httpdocs/' as the root directory when publishing with FTP.
I fixed this by editing the proftpd.conf to use ~/httpdocs/ as the DefaultRoot folder ( instead of just ~/ ).Would it be safer(better) to go through all the ftp users and make the home directory '/httpdocs/' instead of '/' in the admin UI? If yes, what is the best way to do a mass update of this setting for multiple users ( multiple domains ) ?
Is there a way to change the default value of the "Preferred domain" option in the hosting settings of domains in Plesk 11.5? When ever i create a new subscription/domain it just defaults to the value of "domain.ltd" and i have to go into the hosting settings and manually change it to "None". Is there a way i can set it to use the "None" option every time i create new subscriptions or domains?
I have Plesk 11.5 installed on my server. There are about 30 sites on the same shared IP address. I need to set up a site to be accessible via https://<ip-address-of-the-server> . According to the documentation I went to Setting -> IP Addresses and selected the desired site from the drop down. Now http://<ip-address-of-the-server> (note, 80th port) works like a charm. Unfortunately https:// displays only the first page of the selected site; all CSS, JS and other files are not found (404).
I did some research and found that Nginx forwards the requests to Apache for all the PHP files and tries to handle all the static files by itself (what is expected and correct). But it looks like that there is no special configuration for nginx which would specify where to get these static files for the IP address, and Nginx just uses the first loaded config (started from b in my case).
I temporary resolved this issue by modifying the last_nginx.conf for the desired domain this way: listen XX.XX.XX.XX:443 default_server ssl;
Note I added "default_server" directive. Of course it would be erased on each reconfiguration of the config files, but as for now I do not see how I can put it in custom nginx.conf or on the server servel level. I reckon Plesk should include the directive in the file the same way as it produces last_httpd_ip_default.conf Apache config for the selected domain. It looks to be an easy fix on the template level, may be I will do it later, but for now this is just the bug report.
If you would disable a subscription and reloaded that domain name. You would be redirected to a default subscription. How can i change this default landing page?
I upgraded from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9 and saw no errors in the process, everything was fine. However when I checked the sites after, all of them (including sub-domains) were showing the default domain page. All the files are still there no problem, and as a test I deleted a subdomain a recreated it and it worked fine.
I have a feeling it's something to do with IP addresses (I currently have two set up - most sites use one and about only 5 use the other) as going to the subscription and changing the IP address over to the other one then back to the original seems to make the site show up for most sites. I can't do this on all sites though - any commands to reconfigure everything and get it all back in to place?
When I create a CNAME record for domain, and then trying to load it, it goes to default website. It was working fine before, all old CNAME records are working fine.
Tried reconfigure-all but it doesn't fix the problem. I'm using 11.5.30 Update #44
I've installed the Plesk Panel onto a windows 2008 server. It's all good, web sites are flowing and I'm really happy with the software. The issue I'm having is a customer has an asp site with an access database. After I uploaded their site, they couldn't write to the database, so I had to manually go and set the permission on the database for the "Plesk IIS Anonymous Account (IUSR_xxx)" user to have modify access on the file.
So my question is this, how can I set up the default hosting account to already allow this and so I don't have to go an waste time tweaking the folders manually trying to find the right permissions?
Also, why is it the Plesk IIS Anonymous account that needed to have it's permissions tweaked and not the "Default Plesk application pool user (IWAM_plesk(default))" which is the user who's configured on the application pool in IIS? I can't see where the Plesk IIS Anon user is being used.
Starting point: a working site using a shared IPv4, dedicated IPv6, and SSL. HTTP and HTTPS work, the latter only using SNI of course.
The good news: If I simply allocate an IP resource of 1 to a subscription it is pulled from the pool, assigned to the service node, assigned to the web site, DNS is updated, and the site is automatically changed to using a Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6.
The bad news: visitors land on the default web site of the service node, with the default SSL certificate.
Other info: I can't ping the new IP, even though it shows in "ip a l" and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0. [edited]
After the IP assignment, it is still installed, and /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/ip_default/domainname.conf shows the new certificate is being used.
However, a second set of VirtualHost entries is created in server.conf for this IP for ports 80 and 443, with NameVirtualHost enabled on the new IP. The port 443 entry uses the default certificate. Apache's setup this default VirtualHost entry will override the web site configuration because Apache is listening on port 443 with the wrong cert.
If I go to "Change webspace settings" and toggle to Shared IPv4, Dedicated IPv6 the site works again via HTTPS, and Dedicated IPv4 and Dedicated IPv6 breaks it again. Setting the SSL cert to None and back again does not work.
Setting the SSL cert to None, changing to a dedicated IP, and enabling SSL results in the server being inexplicably inaccessible...browsers no longer connect to either the default site or the correct site, and I don't see any entries in the vhosts's logs.
I believe the product we are using is Parallels Operations Automation.
We have a customer that we want to be able to give the right to unlock user accounts. The only way to do this seems to be to enable "Billing" as one of the privileges. Unfortunately this gives them more access than we really want to. Is there some trick we can use to give this user only these rights?
I created a new 'Hosting settings created' event running as root and with the highest priority with this command: /var/www/move_some_files.sh
I created a new customer with to test it
But, is not running the script! If I try some command directly on the event like 'touch /var/www/new_file' it's created, so the event is running, but not my script.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION When triggering the events 'Mail account created' or 'Mail account modified' the returned variable NEW_MAILBOX will always state TRUE regardless of the mailbox option being ticked or not ticked on the 'New mail account' option located on the 'Mail' tab of a subscription.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1: Log in to plesk. 2. Select 'Tools & Settings' 3: Select 'Event Manager' 4: Select 'Add New Event Handler' 5: Select Event 'Mail account updated' 6: Enter in '/usr/bin/php /root/scripts/dbmail/mail_mod.php' to the Command box.
[Code] ....
ACTUAL RESULT
[NEW_MAILBOX] => true
EXPECTED RESULT
[NEW_MAILBOX] => false
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I submitted this with parallels support and they stated that the variable NEW_MAILBOX will always return as TRUE regardless of if the mailbox option is ticked or not. They also stated the NEW_MAILBOX variable will be true regardless of any action taken on the panel with mail accounts. The actual documentation on this variable is very sparse
Component name/description Old component value New component value Mailbox old_mailbox new_mailbox
We previously had some code that would trigger on this variable and would create a mail account on our mail server with or without a mailbox.
if (!strcmp(getenv('NEW_MAILBOX'),"true") && !strcmp(getenv('OLD_MAILBOX'),"false")){ //Create a mailbox on the external mail service } if (!strcmp(getenv('NEW_MAILBOX'),"false") && !strcmp(getenv('OLD_MAILBOX'),"true")){ //Create a mail forwarder on the external mail service }
At some point this variable has stopped working with newer versions of plesk. Having a variable that is always true regardless of what is done when creating a mail account seems pointless and requesting a new feature that was already there in older versions doesnt seem like something that should be requested on a new feature request.
QUESTION: Is there anyway to get this functionality restored other than requesting it gets re added via [URL] ....
