Frontpage and new httpd.conf permissions problem

On all servers, Frontpage will not work due to the permissions on the httpd.conf file. I have not taken these servers up to edge and back to stable. All are running R55 except two that I upgraded to E80 to see if that would resolve the issue. It did not. Frontpage extensions do not work on any of these servers due to not being able to access httpd.conf. You cannot install FP extension or publish sites. I haven't checked, but I would guess this is affecting the addition of subdomains and addon domains as well. Each time I updated these servers, I did it from ssh using:

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/upcp

I have submitted a ticket on this issue, but I am curious if there is a solution other than setting up a cron job to chmod the httpd.conf back to 644.

Anybody?

Chirpy,

If you will read my post, you will see that I said that I upgraded two servers to E80 without any resolution to the problem.

As stated in the first post, ticket has already been submitted. I am just wondering if somebody has already been where I am and knows what the solution is so that I don't have to wait on support and get my customers issues resolved as quickly as possible.

I appreciate your help, chirpy. I am not trying to be a smart*** here, but this is an annoying problem because all I did was update to the latest release, and wham! here come the problems.

by the way:

chmod 644 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf*

does not fix my problem. My ticket number is 109650

cat /usr/local/cpanel/bin/chmodhttpdconf
set the permission in this file.

All that will do is chmod the httpd.conf file, and I already said that changing the chmod on those files will not fix my problem.

I have the same problem. I tried Release, Current and Edge.

I updated Apache and did every possible FP fix as mentioned on a few hundred other threads.

This is different than the problem that I had. On my servers, if you tried to install fp extensions, this is what you would get:

No error messages, jus that. It turns out that my problem was due to the fact that these particular servers do not run suexec. The new chmodding of httpd and other files did not take into account that some servers may be using FP extenions and not be using suexec. Nick spent about an hour with me yesterday and once he figured out the problem, he released E90 which resolved my problems.

hey guys i got it resolved! changed the permissions of httpd.conf to 644. FYI am on 10.2.0-STABLE 83. Also switched off automatic upgrade option(to stable versions) in WHM just to be on the safer side!

This also did not fix it

rm -f /home/<user>/public_html/_vti*
rm -f /home/<user>/public_html/.htaccess
rm -f /usr/local/frontpage/<domain>:80.cnf
reinstall the extensions for that web

Go on, have a guess
Are you running the latest EDGE which has just seen more FP fixes go in? If you are and still have problems, you should be contacting cPanel about the problem.
