Apache write permission varies by server with same permissions

[Brooky A]

Hi Guys,

I have two servers with as far as I can see identical configuration. CloudLinux, CageFS, PHP (LSAPI).

Both servers have the following standard permissions for user accounts:

/home/user 0711 user:user
/home/user/public_html 0750 user:nobody
/home/user/public_html/folder 0755 user:user
/home/user/public_html/file.txt 0644 user:user

Apache on one of my servers finds these permissions acceptable to write to but the other doesn't.

Can anyone give me any clue as to why this might be? I really need Apache to be able to write to file. I can only get it to work if I make the group nobody recurring with 0775 CHMOD value. That shouldn't be needed.

Really grateful for any help.

Hey there! That's certainly interesting, as I'd expect that to work fine. Since the server is running in CloudLinux, does the behavior change when you pull the domain out of CageFS or does the issue still happen?
