apache 1.3.28 upgrade, now error 403

[pr-design]

i ran scripts/easyapache to upgrade to 1.3.28 and now every page on the server says 403 forbidden..
in the error log here is what it says:
(13)Permission denied: /home/user/public_html/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

im not sure why upgrading would cause that. the files should still be readable...dont know if it has to do with permissions or owners... is this happen to anyone else? and what can i do?

yeah, they are all readable...they didnt change. every single file on the server in any user directory does this.

Don't need to do any thing to rid out of this B.U.G

First run :

/scripts/updatenow

I had a similar problem and thanks to donnie the problem is fixed. Thanks Man!
However, when i create a new website now I have to chmod the public_html folder to 755 else I receive a 403 error. I was wondering if anyone knew how to set new websites public_html to default to chmod 755.

I tried to chmod the root/cpanel3-skel/public_html to 755 but it didn't work.

Dark Side, an educated guess for fixing your problem would be to now update to the newest Cpanel version -- of whichever release you are using -- since you have to do it at some point anyway.

Let us know how it turns out.

I have a similar problem too. It keeps chmodding the directory 750 instead of 751.

I'll see your 750 and raise you to 755.

# grep 755 /scripts/wwwacct
mkdir("$mnt/$user",0755);
mkdir("$mnt/$user/public_html",0755);
mkdir("$mnt/$user/public_html/cgi-bin",0755);
mkdir("/etc/httpd/$logdir",0755);
mkdir("/etc/valiases",0755);
mkdir("/etc/vfilters",0755);

I had the same prob and put in a ticket. Apparently Apache.1.3.28 has an issue with the frontpage module. If you set up an new account after upgrading you will see where it will screw up your permissions in the txt before" account created"
Set up a bogus domain and you will see where it's at.
