Find file owned by a group
find directory-location -group {group-name} -name {file-name}
directory-location : directory path.
-group {group-name} : group-name.
-name {file-name} : The file name or a search pattern
Issue: Plesk server will not allow updating plugins and the site is running as fastcgi – which uses the ftp user as the root user ( coldriverw:psacln) is the user:group for this account.
In this example, locate or find all files belongs to a group called “apache” in the /var/www/vhosts/coldriverdata.com/httpdocs/ directory:
[root@austin plugins]# find /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ -group apache /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/.htaccess /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/enhanced-tooltipglossary /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/enhanced-tooltipglossary/readme.txt
Change the files to the correct user:
[root@austin plugins]# chown -R domain:psacln /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content
Retry the wordpress upload
Update Plugin Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/enhanced-tooltipglossary.zip… Unpacking the update… Installing the latest version… Removing the old version of the plugin… Plugin updated successfully.
