Magento 2 Permission error - RESET












3















There seems to be some issue with magento after running setup:upgrade and di compile from the bin directory, Once those two commands ran. Permission and ownership seems to be reset and magento store stop working , It will work If I manually reset the permission.



See below



This is when the var/generation/Magento directory is owned by sohaib/www-data (sohaib is my current username). The website is loading properly.



Now I have run the bin/magento setup:upgrade command. The ownership has now changed The website is throwing error.

With regards to Mohammad's answer, permissions should never be set to 777.



The problem here is that newly generated files are owned by the user and group who issues the command $USER:$USER, where they should belong to $USER:www-data or $USER:apache. Because apache2 does not have access to the group $USER, the website cannot be properly served.



In order to retain proper permissions, magento commands should be executed as the apache user.



For example:



Ubuntu



$ sudo -u www-data php bin/magento setup:upgrade



CentOS



$ sudo -u apache php bin/magento setup:upgrade



This way, new files are owned by www-data:www-data (in the case of ubuntu).



So long as you have properly followed Magento's documentation with regards to permissions and added the cli user to the apache2 group, then you will have proper access to the files.



If you did not follow this documentation then you can execute the following command to do so:



Ubuntu



$ sudo usermod -a -G www-data $USER



CentOS



$ sudo usermod -a -G apache $USER



Note:



In order that commands can be executed without declaring the apache2 user, Daniel's answer explains that we can modify how the Magento framework sets permissions for new files.



If you are having trouble installing/updating via composer or deploying to production, then you can simply grant ownership of any inaccessible files (these are highlighted yellow in the terminal) to www-data by issuing the following command:




sudo chown www-data:www-data "/absolute/path/to/file.json"




Then, follow BrunoBueno's answer, applying the above fix:



$ sudo -u www-data bin/magento setup:upgrade
$ sudo -u www-data bin/magento indexer:reindex
$ sudo -u www-data bin/magento deploy:mode:set production -s
$ sudo -u www-data bin/magento setup:di:compile (Here was the secret, to run the di:compile after production)
$ sudo -u www-data bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

    Makes sense. But how do you run deploy:mode:set, which also updates the env.php file? I get "Deployment config file env.php is not writable."

Just change the permission of magento's Var from Magento root directory...



Run below command from magento root:



chmod -R 777 var/



if still you are getting same error then change the permission of full magento directory as per magento official document.

Hope this will resolve your problem.
