[Vtigercrm-developers] Folder permissions to installation

[Juan Pablo Botero]

Hi.

Sorry for the late answer to this thread.

So, the command Gaves me a lot of light.

ps aux | grep nginx

Shows me that the nginx service runs as root user:

root      2253  0.0  0.1  47544  1356 ?        Ss   ago05   0:00 nginx:
master process /usr/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
nginx     2256  0.0  0.1  47920  1940 ?        S    ago05   0:00 nginx:
worker process
nginx     2257  0.0  0.1  47920  1940 ?        S    ago05   0:01 nginx:
worker process

I also have a CentOS 6 with apache, but the result shows that apache server
runs from apache user:

apache    1651  0.0  0.5 387240 11344 ?        S    Aug05   0:00
/usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1652  0.0  0.5 387240 11344 ?        S    Aug05   0:00
/usr/sbin/httpd
apache    1653  0.0  0.5 387240 11344 ?        S    Aug05   0:00
/usr/sbin/httpd
...

I was searching in some forums and the conclusion is that, nginx server and
apache server when uses a port number < 1024  runs from root user as first
instance, later the control is passed to the user [1].

The thing is about the interpretation of vtiger (or php) with an nginx
server.


Alan Lord, thanks for your comment, always very conveniet.

I restored the permissions to 755 to folders and 644 to files and run the
script that shows me the user as Hamono suggest:

<?php

echo `whoami`;


and it prints me: apache


Now, i would think that the configuration is correct now, there just issues
with vtiger (or php) interpreting another web server different to apache.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot.
