Cannot access cPanel/WHM after reboot

[zohair28]

Hi All,

During fixing /home file permissions. The /etc file permission changed and now SSHD is down. cPanel/WHM is working fine but I can not access server via SSH. I tried to reinstall SSH via cPanel/WHM RPM manager but I can not.

Is there any solution via WHM to restore /etc file permission for SSH. I tried to restart SSH and update cPanel via WHM but it is still down.

Any ideas how o solve this ???

I do not think so if there is anyway you can restore permissions of /etc folder from WHM. Regarding SSH not working issue, please make sure that the port you have set up for SSH is indeed open in your server firewall.

Hello,

Are you aware what permissions are changed exactly? If so the better solution is to connect to the server via console and fix them!

Thank you,

Your best bet is to do what asad suggested:

http://yourdomain.com:2086/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart

If that does not work, check with your datacenter to see if they provider KVM access and make the changes their.

Hi all,
I am a newbie with server management.
I did a graceful reboot yesterday. I can access it via SSH but cPanel and WHM not working.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Your problem is unrelated to the topic of this thread.

What do you see when you type in http://hostname.com/cpanel or /whm?

Can you access using the ports: hostname.com:2082 / 2086

If you are running a firewall, take down the firewall or flush it to check if you can then access cPanel and WHM:

/sbin/iptables -F

You can see if you are running CSF or APF with the following:

whereis csf
whereis apf

If you have either, disable that firewall. Oftentimes, a reboot will knock out any rules you had for allowing the cPanel and WHM ports if whoever added the rules for the ports didn't actually save the changes with service iptables save.

If you are able to then access, please add these rules to the firewall after restarting iptables again to reload the rules:

service iptables restart
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2082:2083 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2086:2087 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2095:2096 -j ACCEPT

Now, ensure the new rules save this time:

service iptables save
