October to new package Joomla 3.8.1 started creating files with wrong permissions when installing Joomla components or plugins. Error message in error.log was (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: The installed files were created with no permissions for group. This broke the installed component, it did not work. I could work around this bug by running find . ! -perm /g+rx -exec chmod g+rx {} \; to fix the permissions. I made a php script to check, the script did create files following umask and script could alter file permissions. It took two days to find that changing php mode used for the website from Fast-CGI to PHP-FPM corrected this problem. Fast-CGI has been used for ages and posed no problems until now. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.11 APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 depends on: ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.22-13+deb7u12 ii apache2.2-common 2.2.22-13+deb7u12 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-4 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u12 ii libcomerr2 1.42.5-1.1+deb7u1 ii libdb5.1 5.1.29-5+deb7u1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u8 ii libk5crypto3 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u8 ii libkrb5-3 1.10.1+dfsg-5+deb7u8 ii libmagic1 5.11-2+deb7u9 ii libonig2 5.9.1-1+deb7u1 ii libpcre3 1:8.30-5 ii libqdbm14 1.8.78-2 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1t-1+deb7u2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy9 ii mime-support 3.52-1+deb7u1 ii php5-common 5.4.45-0+deb7u11 ii tzdata 2017b-0+deb7u1 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 recommends: ii php5-cli 5.4.45-0+deb7u11 Versions of packages libapache2-mod-php5 suggests: ii php-pear 5.4.45-0+deb7u11 -- no debconf information
