Plesk Sitejet domain fail to publish with permissions error for .well-known directory: filemng: Error occurred during /bin/rm command.

Symptoms

• Publishing a website from Siejet removes .well-known folder or fails with below error if the folder permissions are not by default:

  Publication failed. Please try again 
  filemng failed: rm: cannot remove '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/.well-known/pgp-key.txt': Permission denied 
  rm: cannot remove '/var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/.well-known/security.txt': Permission denied 
  filemng: Error occurred during /bin/rm command.

• Extension Native security.txt compliance is installed and configured on the server.

Cause

This is the Plesk Sitejet Builder extension bug EXTPLESK-9140, which will be fixed in future extension updates.

Resolution

In the meantime as a workaround:

1. Connect to a Plesk server via SSH.

2. Temporarily move the .well-known directory out:

   # mv /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/.well-known /var/www/vhosts/example.com/

3. Publish the changes from Sitejet

4. Move .well-known back to the domain directory root:

   # mv /var/www/vhosts/example.com/.well-known /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/
