apache writing files as nobody.nobody

[bpratt]

Just set up a new server and migrated sites across, but apache doesn't appear to be taking on user.user permissions, and simply using nobody.nobody

As an example, a joomla configuration.php with user.user rw------ permisions fails to open until I make group and other permissions to read and write

I'm using cloudlinux and cagefs for the first time here, and wondering if I've screwed something up with it.

I should add here that all sites migrated across, and were given appropriate file ownership as per the user account name.

This appears to be apache is not running in suphp properly, as in it is still running as user nobody.nobody instead of as the user klema.klema

What PHP handler do you use? Can you show "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current" ?

As well:
httpd -M | grep suex

If you see DSO there just change to suphp or cgi.

And, if you use EasyApache 4 - please be sure suexec module is installed and loaded into apache.

Hello,

The following document offers information regarding your PHP handler when using EasyApache 4:

Manage PHP Handlers in EasyApache 4 - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Check to ensure you are using suPHP if that's your preference.

Thank you.
