Hi,

After updating direct admin to latest release (1.441) we notice some issues with certain functions.
We use mod_ruid2 with cb.

If customers want to go to /phpmyadmin/ or /webmail/ or want to use sendmail it doesn't work any more.
My guess is that it comes by the change in feature: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1514

This is fixable by using custom virtual_host2* files and redo this security update but then we have to manualy update the vhost files and that is not something you want.
The other hand is a security update is always good but it takes away the user freedom on the system this way.

I hope to get some good response and thoughts or maybe even a work around.
 
Hello,

A few things:
1) With mod_ruid2, the /var/www must be 755 as mentioned in tip #14:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=247

2) However, we had already found/fixed (but not released) a bug in:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custombuild.sh
for fresh installs that sets it to 750 webapps:apache (if my memory is correct).
CustomBuild itself sets the correct values, but the script that calls it for install time follows it up with an incorrect override.

Manually setting /var/www to 755 should fix it... or re-compiling apache will also reset.

The issue is actually with how mod_ruid2 works, in that before dropping permissions to webapps, it's looking into /var/www/html as the default VirtualHost User.
I tried a few combinations of <directory> and <location> tags to try and isolate each one to have the VH run as apache or something else, but have yet to find a combination that allows /var/www to be set to 750 with mod_ruid2.

@John, This is really confusing statements. All my servers have /var/www set to permission 551 and Group: apache Owner: webapps. I have not changed those permissions myself, it is default from DirectAdmin install. I am using mod_ruid2 in cb 2.0. I do not have any problems.

But you say "With mod_ruid2, the /var/www must be 755", and that confuses me. I have 551 on var/www, it is default permission from install, I do not have any problems.
 
I'm also running mod_ruid2 with 0551 and group apache owner webapps, no issues. I checked and I have RGroups @none in my user httpd.confs.
