Anyone using docs from


becarefully, it not state any information about PHP-MODE, as php-fpm doesn't work with this docs. It will trigger error "Permission denied",

Anyone using PHP-FPM, you must generate php handle for "csf" user and config "MESSENGERV3PHPHANDLER" inside "/etc/csf.conf" to use "csf" socket handle like


#/etc/csf/messenger/php-fpm.conf
Code: 
[csf]
user = $pool
group = $pool
listen = /usr/local/php81/sockets/$pool.sock
listen.owner = $pool
listen.group = apache
listen.mode = 660
pm = ondemand
pm.max_children = 10
pm.process_idle_timeout = 20
pm.max_requests = 500
php_admin_value[open_basedir] = /home/csf/:/tmp/:/var/tmp/:/opt/alt/php81/usr/share/pear/:/dev/urandom:/usr/local/php81/lib/:/usr/local/php81/lib/:/usr/local/php82/lib/:/usr/local/php56/lib/:/usr/local/php74/lib/:/usr/local/lib/php/:/var/log/lfd_messenger.log
security.limit_extensions = .php .php52 .php53 .php54 .php55 .php56 .php60 .php70 .php71 .phtml .inc .php81

#/etc/csf/messenger/php-handle.conf
Code: 
<If "-f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
        AddHandler "proxy:unix:/usr/local/php81/sockets/csf.sock|fcgi://localhost" .inc .php .phtml .php81
    </If>

#/etc/csf/csf.conf
#Find and replace
Code: 
MESSENGERV3PHPHANDLER="Include /etc/csf/messenger/php-handle.conf"


becarefully, this will overwritten from custombuild, this is just example. Anyone want to use please make file at
"./directadmin/custombuild/custom/fpm/conf
#To generate php-handle for "csf" user
#/usr/local/php81/etc/php-fpm.conf
add this to last line
Code: 
include=/etc/csf/messenger/php-fpm.conf


restart relate service.
Code: 
service php-fpm81 reload
csf -ra

Hello comunity
I'm new using Direct admin, and I'm happy to contribute.
I found this forum thread because after setting up MessengerV3, it kept showing the following error.
##################################################################################################################
Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/home/csf/unblock.txt): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/csf/public_html/index.php on line 250PHP message: PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/log/lfd_messenger.log): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/csf/public_html/index.php on line 251', referer:
###################################################################################################################
I couldn't fix the error even by giving more permissions than recommended in the CSF configuration documentation at https://docs.directadmin.com/operat...g/csf.html#messenger-service-with-directadmin
After much searching, I found the CSF installation documentation at https://download.configserver.com/csf/readme.txt
As indicated in the Messenger v2 and v3, the permissions and owners have to be the following:
/home/csf/ (Owner csf:csf, Permissions 711)
/home/csf/public_html/ (Owner csf:nobody, Permissions 711)
The first one was correct, but the second one had the wrong group, apparently CSF when creating the directory /home/csf/public_html under directadmin remains as the owner group of public_html apache.
When changing the apache group to nobody as indicated in the installation text, it started to work correctly.
I hope it is useful to those who, despite following your recommendations, continue to have problems with the Messenger configuration.
Greetings and thanks for the help.
 
Hi zEitEr-4
Thank you for your time and the modified tutorial, as soon as I have a little time I will try it and let you know how it works.Again, thank you for your time and dedication.
Kind regards
 
Hello zEitEr
I read your new tutorial, and I have some doubts.
MESSENGER_USER = "webapps"
Means that /home/csf/public_html/ needs to be owned by apache?
Thanks for your time.
Best regards
 
Hi again zEitEr.
I tried your article on MESSENGERV3 (https://help.poralix.com/articles/csf-lfd-messenger-v3-with-directadmin-and-apache) configuration and It doesn't work, I get the following errors:

[Mon Mar 10 17:21:36.335221 2025] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 1606311:tid 1606758] [remote 186.189.103.37:50272] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /var/www/html/public_html/index.php:260\nStack trace:\n#0 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/public_html/index.php on line 260', referer: https://domain.tld

The permissions for groups and users of /home/csf/public_html are 711 webapps access, same on var/www/html
I don't know if they are correct.
Thanks you for your time
 
Bash: 
touch /var/www/html/unblock.txt
chmod 600 /var/www/html/unblock.txt
chown -R webapps: /var/www/html/unblock.txt

rm -vf /var/www/html/public_html/index.php

service lfd restart
 
@Hostelaciones
For "csf" user.

You should already see my instruction step by step, as you see... I manual general "csf" php-fpm pool and put "MESSENGERV3PHPHANDLE" for correct handle. That's why it's working without any problem.

And I thought, I can generate this pool by just create "csf" user via directadmin, but this will generate useless credential connection from outside like FTP, dovecot, SMTP service and waste the server resource.
