About

This library was born with the objective of fix the permissions of the folder that nginx automatically generates, to store the cache of your site.

In our case, originally the cache folder comes out like this:

ls -lsa
4 drwx------  2 nobody root 4096 Mar  4 17:54 cache_folder

The problem with this is that if you have a procedure on your site to clear the cache, such as the Nginx Cache plugin for Wordpress, your user will not will be able to clear the contents of the cache folder.

How it works

We set up our script to run on a hook called ExecStartPost on the Nginx service.

With that, after nginx starts or restarts, our script is run, fixing the folder permissions to what we want.

Installation

1. Open the folder where you want to install the project and run: composer require ejetar/nginx-fastcgi-fix-permission

2. Then edit the following file: /lib/systemd/system/nginx.service. Add the following line in the [Service] section ExecStartPost= /nginx-fastcgi-fix-permission/fix .
   Example:

[Unit]
Description=nginx - high performance web server
Documentation=http://nginx.org/en/docs/
After=network-online.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/nginx.pid
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
ExecReload=/bin/sh -c "/bin/kill -s HUP $(/bin/cat /var/run/nginx.pid)"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "/bin/kill -s TERM $(/bin/cat /var/run/nginx.pid)"
ExecStartPost=/opt/nginx-fastcgi-fix-permission/fix

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
LimitNOFILE=65535

3. Execute systemctl daemon-reload
4. Restart nginx and you're done!
