DirectAdmin + CSF: Permission denied [User: admin UID: 501]

[vverloop]

After updating CSF to v7.0.3, i get error in DirectAdmin Control Panel/CSF: Permission denied [User: admin UID: 501].

Reinstall of CSF is the simple solution, but not the best.
Is there a good solution? Changing file or folder permissions for example?

Reinstall firewall gives opportunity for hacking..because:
1. No firewall is not good at all.
2. There is a few minutes time to hack your server. (FAST_START solves this normally)
2. clean install is default in Testing Mode for example.

The C wrapper that cxs uses checks for the existence of the logged in user (admin) in /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/admin.list which should be chmod 600 and have an owner of the directadmin main user account (i.e. diradmin:diradmin). You should also ensure that /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/admin.list has Linux line endings, not Windows or Mac ones.

Is this a bug? Because it is not the first time that i get this error after a CSF update.

Is what a bug? I provided a description of what the C wrapper is trying to do and failing on your server - you need to investigate that. We've not seen any issues with the wrapper on DA servers, and not been able to recreate any problems.

I think it is a problem on my webserver, but i can't check it anymore because of the clean install.

Now the file admin.list have chmod 600, ownership diradmin:diradmin. And admin in the file.

I go check the next time, thanks for support!

I have the same issue today. I have checked and chmod is 600 and ownership is diradmin:diradmin. In the file is the word: admin.

Yesterday i have upgraded PHP 5.4 to 5.5 by using DirectAdmin Custombuild script. And after that rebuild all.

I have tried this: http://syslint.com/syslint/csf-directad ... 01-solved/

But now i get a blank page, no Permission Denied error.

These commands will solve issue, I know this is old topic but as google is showing this page first for solution so sharing it

Code: Select all

chown root /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/csf/exec/csf
chmod 4755 /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/csf/exec/csf

[vverloop]

After an upgrade of CSF, the permissions are also fixed.

There was no update available for me and yup update can solve problem and you can do force update but these commands can save your time :-)
