WordPress MU in Softaculous

I'm using DirectAdmin as the CP.
There are threads in this forum that some scripts can not be updated/upgraded.

Lets look a bit closer in to the chain of the events -
Scenario 1:
  1. Cron job is being fired as root.
  2. Cron downloads a script.
  3. For some reason will not populate (unzip) in the /var/softaculous directory
  4. Cron job sends a failure report to the administrator.
  5. Admin logs in and tries to update the script.
  6. Update will fail as there is a zipped script already owned by root and can not be overwritten by the admin user.
Scenario 2:
  1. Cron job is being fired as root.
  2. Cron downloads a script.
  3. Cron populates (unzip) a sript in the /var/softaculous directory
  4. Cron job sends a success report to the administrator.
  5. Admin logs in and tries to apply a new update latter on for the same script but never version.
  6. Update will fail as the target directory is owned by root and can not be overwritten by the admin user.


As a precautionary measure I wrapped cron job to do the following:
1. Remove exiting zip files from /var/softaculous
2. Change ownership permissions on all directories and files to the admin user inside the /var/softaculous directory.

Hope this helps.
