Uid/GID mismatch

Question

I have been trying to setup the magento site but have been playing around with permissions which has resulted in the following error in the suexec.log

[2014-04-25 08:20:56]: uid: (5015/web12) gid: (5011/client7) cmd: .php-fcgi-starter
[2014-04-25 08:20:56]: target uid/gid (5015/5011) mismatch with directory (33/33) or program (33/33

Any ideas how i can get it so that the uid and gid match?

I have done id www-data and 5011/client7 is against that user.

Any help would be great.

It seems that httpd is trying to run .php-fcgi-starter script using suEXEC as user web12 group client7 (uid:5015,gid:5011) and script or directory owner has uid:33 and gid:33.

suEXEC allow to run script with a user/group defined by SuexecUserGroup directive. Target user/group must be the same as the user/group that owns script and directory.

Probably you need to run:

chown -R web12:client7 /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12

suEXEC performs a lot of check before run a script, here is useful link for more details.

where is the php-fcgi-starter located? if i run the above command will it interfere with other websites that are on the same server? – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 19:27
try find / -name ".php-fcgi-starter" this will give you the right path. It seems that you installed mod_fcgid, I don't know if some of yours applications relies on this module. – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 20:08
Running that command shows lots of files which runs through the whole system it seems – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 20:15
Oh! How many file did you found? Unfortunately the error message did not show path. Could you post on http://pastebin.com/ find / -name ".php-fcgi-started" -exec ls -l {} \; so it shows file properties. – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 20:21
Again too Many files – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 20:33
Sorry, you got error, right? try find /var -name ".php-fcgi-started" -exec ls -l {} \; – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 20:55
No errors but found var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12 where there is the php-fcgi-starter if that helps – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 21:05
Did you try chown command? Could you post ls -l /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12 command output? – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 21:08
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 30 2014-10-04 21:48 web12 – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 21:16
Probably www-data as uid and gid 33, that is why you got error. You can see this with id www-data – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 21:23
So running the chown command will fix it? – tjhack Oct 04 '14 at 21:26
It should fix. How many files are in those folder? If you are worried, you could change only .php-fcgi-started and directory web12 too, and than let's see if it work. chown web12:client7 /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12 and chown web12:client7 /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12/.php-fcgi-started – Lety Oct 04 '14 at 21:31
Now all websites have gone down really need help now – tjhack Oct 05 '14 at 06:46
