Hello Nico Kadel-Gracia, thanks for this promising hint. But I fear this is not the reason .
I checked for SELinux and got disabled: selinuxenabled && echo enabled || echo disabled disabled Do you have any further idea? Especially how/where to check get any further log/trace information. And especially the very curious thing, that yesterday ythe hook scripts were working in this environment at least sporadically.

Do you have SELinux running? Can you test with it turned off? According to the Linux File System Hierarchy, I'd expect this material to be in "/var/www".
