SOLVED 403 Access Denied After Setting Owner via Shell

[Adamfynd]

A word of caution here. The above command can allow a user to take control of files on the same file system. See this article for more details: SysAdmin Tip: recursive chown can open your system for exploit « Power Prose

for i in `ls /var/cpanel/users/`; do chown -R $i:$i /home/$i/public_html ; done
Hi
I had some problems with file permissions
I have just implemented this command line but unfortunately the store stopped working and now shows an error message
403 Access Denied
How can I fix the problem quickly?

Thanks in advance

Hello @Adamfynd,

I'm glad to see you were able to solve the issue. You may also find information about the FileProtect feature useful when it comes to understanding the ownership values to use on the public_html directory:
