There is issue with permission for your account. If you have root access then check file/folder permission using command " ls -l "

If you have not root access then contact to your hosting provider.

Hello,

Check the permissions and ownership values for the account's home directory. EX:

Code:
stat /home/$username
Ensure it matches the format that other home directories on the system use (user/group ownership set to the account username, 0711 permissions by default).

Thank you.
