Hi.
I’ve found a way to get around this but today I decided that there must be something wrong and I should fix it.
Issue
Every time I try to upgrade, I get the bad file permissions error.
This is for files in the log and the following list:
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/Users/Uservardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/UserPreferences/UserPreferencevardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/SecurityGroups/SecurityGroupvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/SchedulersJobs/SchedulersJobvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/Schedulers/Schedulervardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/Relationships/Relationshipvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/InboundEmail/InboundEmailvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/Employees/Employeevardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/EmailAddresses/EmailAddressvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/Administration/Administrationvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/AOW_WorkFlow/AOW_WorkFlowvardefs.php 0755 root www-data
/var/www/sugarcrm/cache/modules/AOD_Index/AOD_Indexvardefs.php 0755 root www-dataMy config.php is OK. For my install (Debian 8) these should be www-data/www-data.
As you can see from the list above, I have user as “root” but correct group.
The logs are all root/root.
One posting said that the cron job may be set up wrong.
Here is my cron list
crontab -l -u root
* * * * * cd /var/www/sugarcrm/; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
@daily /etc/webmin/mysql/backup.pl --all
29 10 * * * /etc/webmin/package-updates/update.pl
# 0 15 * * * test -x /usr/sbin/cron-apt && /usr/sbin/cron-apt
and for www-data, there is nothing.
crontab -l -u www-data
crontab -l -u www-data
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h dom mon dow command
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
So only root is running cron jobs.
And this is what is in the syslog
cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i cron
Dec 30 06:26:01 crm /USR/SBIN/CRON[29497]: (root) CMD (cd /var/www/sugarcrm/; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1 )
...
...I also noticed that the following is the the cron.php. I don’t know if this has any bearing on the issue.
global $current_user;
$current_user = new User();
$current_user->getSystemUser();I presume that the following line in the root crontab is wrong and should be run by www-data?
* * * * * cd /var/www/sugarcrm/; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1 Can someone confirm this thought is correct?
Thanks.
