How much damage is changing the user on fpm/pool.d/website-name.conf NGINX – WordPress

Btw it looks like about user permission (not owned by fpm users), please take a look into the config files of nginx & php-fpm ( current example we used nginx) and the user is ftplatinopeeyush

CHECK

1. Check your files / wordpress user permissions, make sure your wordpress user are ubuntu (you can check with ls -l), and make sure your file placed on user home directory : /home/ftplatinopeeyush (or anywhere home directory and it was writable by the ftplatinopeeyush user)

2. go to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
   check the parameter user, please make sure the user is www-data

example:

user www-data; # < this

worker_processes auto;
# ... next config

3. And then go to /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/website-name.conf
   and check the configurations about:

listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data

4. (fpm) user & group (wordpress files owned user)

user=ftplatinopeeyush
group=ftplatinopeeyush

CASE

1. fpm : listen.owner & listen.group should match with nginx: user
2. fpm: user & group should be match with wordpress / root user.
3. Permission: wordpress file placed on directory that writable by user

RESOLVE

Before start, please make sure you have super admin privileges (root user)

1. Check your user home directory:

• command

cat /etc/passwd | grep ftplatinopeeyush

• output (where the /home/ftplatinopeeyush is home directory)

NameOfUser:x:1234:1234:NameOfUser:/home/ftplatinopeeyush:

2. Place your wordpress (document root) to your home directory. (eg: /home/ftplatinopeeyush/pathtowordpress)

3. Fix the owner

chown -R ftplatinopeeyush:ftplatinopeeyush /home/ftplatinopeeyush/pathtowordpress

4. Set the permission (644 to files and 755 to directory)

• set files permission

find /home/ftplatinopeeyush/pathtowordpress -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;

• set directories permission

find /home/ftplatinopeeyush/pathtowordpress -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;

5. Change your nginx user to www-data

nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

change variable user to www-data
6. Change configuration of /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/website-name.conf

nano /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/website-name.conf

make sure the variable user & group are ftplatinopeeyush
and variable listen.owner & listen.group are www-data

or example configuration:

[[email protected]]

; Owner
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
listen.backlog = 1500


; User & group
user = ftplatinopeeyush
group = ftplatinopeeyush

; Listener this will placed on /run/php/[email protected]
listen=/run/php/$pool.sock

; Process Manager
pm = ondemand
; set max children
pm.max_children = 20
pm.start_servers = 5
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 10

pm.process_idle_timeout = 10s


; FLAGS
;php_flag[display_errors] = off
;php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 128M

7. Open site virtual host setting

nano /path/to/virtualhost-of-wordpress.conf

• pointing root variable to /home/ftplatinopeeyush/pathtowordpress
• find fastcgi_pass (php location block)

location ~ .php$ {
    # split path request
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
    # include default configuration nginx fastcgi_params
    include fastcgi_params;
    # environment php file name
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_index index.php;

    # try below to handle all 404 not found with script
    try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;

    # listen for cgi param port / load balancer upstream
    # port for cgi params has followed of fast cgi config
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/[email protected];
    # handle error
    fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
    fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
    fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
}

8. Reload php & nginx service.

systemctl reload nginx.service

systemctl reload php7.3-fpm.service

9. done
