I upgraded from EE 2x, to EE 3.5.16. I can see my primary site fine, but the other sites (both index.php and admin.php) say:

Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php

So I have checked all the usual - open_basedir looks ok (has not changed):

{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}:/var/www/vhosts/site1.com/httpdocs/:/var/www/vhosts/site2.com/httpdocs/

Folder permissions are 755 on site1.

Just to check the system_path, in index.php for domain2, I have added:

echo SYSPATH.'ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Boot/boot.php';

And this shows the correct path when I access index.php i.e.

/var/www/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/softwater/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Boot/boot.php

I can access the domain2 control panel by first logging into the domain1 control panel.

I'm truly stumped. Everything was working fine with EE2 - what could have gone wrong?

  • You are very sure the index.php in your second site is the correct, EE3 version index.php file? It isn't the same as the EE2 version index.php file. – jrothafer Jul 23 '18 at 20:16
  • Yes, positive it's the EE3 version. – user2265915 Jul 23 '18 at 20:29
  • The other thing that's changed is I've gone from PHP 5.4.16 mod_php to PHP 7.2.7 FPM application. Would that make a difference? – user2265915 Jul 23 '18 at 20:43
  • No, although you are likely to run into issues with third-party addons with a change like that, it wouldn't cause this issue. Are you sure the correct file/folder owner is set on your entire web root? This is one of those issues that is hard to dig into with access to the machine as I can't imagine how I'd recreate it. – jrothafer Jul 23 '18 at 20:46
  • And are you sure you have have the correct license key for your purchase? When you upgrade from EE2 -> EE3, if you have MSM, you have to purchase the upgraded MSM license as well. – jrothafer Jul 23 '18 at 20:47

The solution was to use the following:

setfacl -R -m u:site2-user:rwX /var/www/vhosts/site1.com/
