Permissions issue with GoDaddy?

  • Hey there,

    I want to start by saying I doubt this is the fault of Autoptimize, but wanted to share what I’m currently trying to figure out.

    I have various clients using Autoptimize, and I’ve been going through updating their plugins accordingly. One client, hosted on GoDaddy, had their site break after updating WordPress and Autoptimize. My other clients hosted elsewhere had no issues after updates.

    It turns out, for some reason, the Autoptimize CSS and JS files located in the /cache/autoptimize folders are being set to 640 permissions upon creation. My other clients, who are working fine, have their files set to 644 permissions upon creation. In addition, the .htaccess file in /cache/autoptimize is also being set to 640 upon creation, instead of 644.

    And so the files cannot be read correctly, and the site is broken. Disabling the Autoptimize plugin fixes things of course, but I’d like to figure out how to have the plugin working correctly.

    first I hear of that app1e5auce; I’ve seen several customers on GD that did not have that issue. AO currently does not set explicit permissions, which means files are written with permissions based on the umask of the user under which PHP is running? have you asked GoDaddy support about this?

    Hey @optimizingmatters , thanks for checking in.

    I have no idea what caused it. I updated WordPress and Autoptimize on other GoDaddy clients, and none had the same issue. I’m unsure what about this one specific GoDaddy setup caused a problem with my other client, but at this point, like most things, I’m sure it’s GoDaddy’s fault.

    I have Autoptimize currently disabled on that GoDaddy client that had issues. I need to revisit it in the future.

    Thanks.
