(13)Permission denied: /var/www/vhosts/site.com/httpdocs/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

If you get this error on a Plesk account this is what to do.

Check the “group” of the httpdocs/ folder.

It should be “psaserv” – I accidentally set it as “psacln” when doing a chmod -R on the httpdocs folder. Only the files within httpdocs/ should be group “psacln”
