Hello everyone,

I have issue when enabling

fs.protected_symlinks_create = 1
fs.protected_hardlinks_create = 1

PHP selector gives Error 13 (can't create symlinks).

Problem is that i don't know which GID owns selector process.
I need GID for adding it here

fs.protected_symlinks_allow_gid = id_of_group_linksafe
fs.protected_hardlinks_allow_gid = id_of_group_linksafe

There is no such information in CloudLinux documentation.

Thanks

please check linksafe group ID in system and in sysctl settings, they should match. e.g.:
grep linksafe /etc/groups
sysctl -a | grep protected_symlinks_allow_gid
