I changed the permissions to 444

I see that /var/aegir/config/vhost.d/aegir.example.com_80 is there and the variables are set but when I open up the page I see this:

that file should _not_ be readable by apache , because it means every site on the server can look at your db credentials (when they have php access).

did you try to restart apache ?

how it works is that the credentials are stored in the apache virtual host, so that those credentials will only appear in the $_SERVER variable when that specific site's virtualhost is being used.

So apache needs to be 'sudo apachectl graceful'd to pick up changes in the configuration file.

I used this install script:
http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=install.sh.t...

I am able to run: sudo apachectl graceful as aegir

I changed permissions chmod 440 hostmaster-HEAD/sites/aegir.example.com/settings.php

The settings.php cannot be read if I do that.

if I change to 444 just for testing, I still get the output in #2

Title: WSOD on verification page: Cant access settings.php file for verification » Site is offline when cron runs site import. database settings are not read in settings.php
Issue tags: +aegir, +provision, +hostmaster

Update-

using hostmaster-HEAD

so settings.php doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
I erased everything and started from scratch
I looked and settings.php is set to 440

But the variables in the settings.php file still are not read as in #2.

I put this line in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf:
Include /var/aegir/config/vhost.d/*

I see that a sym link is created by the system.

/etc/apache2/vhost.d links to /var/aegir/config/vhost.d

I was installing on MAMP.

I switched to Ubuntu 8.04

I'm having a similar issue to this. I have hostmaster running on an ubuntu server, and I'm trying to deploy sites to a remote server which is running CentOS 5. I have aegir running successfully on the ubuntu server and have set up and verified the server and platform on the CentOS server, but when I try to create a new site, the install operation runs successfully in Aegir's queue, but I can't load the site. When I click the "log in to test1.example.com" link, it takes me to the install.php file and shows the following errors:

Warning: include_once(/var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/sites/test1.example.com/settings.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in drupal_settings_initialize() (line 712 of /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/sites/test1.example.com/settings.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in drupal_settings_initialize() (line 712 of /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/includes/bootstrap.inc).

I checked the settings.php file:

aegir@server:~$ ls -ldd /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/sites/test1.example.com/settings.php
-r--r----- 1 aegir aegir 4980 Apr 24 15:11 /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7.22/sites/test1.example.com/settings.php

When I chmod settings.php to 644 or even 444 the site loads properly. I'd leave it at that except that whenever Aegir does some operation on the remote site (reset password for example... even cron I think), it chmod's the settings.php file back to 440 and the site stops working until I manually go in and chmod settings.php again.

What can I do to either keep settings.php from being chmoded or to allow it to be readable when being served by apache while chmodded to 440?

I think this is irrelevant, but just to make sure, I have in my /etc/sudoers file:

Defaults:aegir !requiretty
aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apachectl

(NOTE: This is CentOS, so the command is apachectl, not apache2ctl. I have successfully tested running this command as the aegir user and have verified that aegir can run it remotely.)

In CentOS, apache runs as user "apache" and Group "apache". From /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

User apache
Group apache

I have aegir as a member of the apache group and apache as a member of the aegir group:

aegir@server:~$ groups aegir
aegir: aegir apache
aegir@server:~$ groups apache
apache: apache aegir

But I'm still having the same problem. What can I do differently?

I just answered my own question. And unlike so many others, I'm going to share the answer! :P

I examined the hostmaster set up on the ubuntu server and noticed that the group ownership of the files was set to www-data - at least for the important files like the settings.php and the files directory. So I did a chgrp to the settings.php file to assign the apache group and now it works when settings.php is 440.

I just need to figure out how to set this so that it's the default when creating a new site and I don't have to go in manually now.
