    I get an error message when trying to access cPanel using the account list link in WHM.

    The error is:

    ====
    Internal Server Error
    500

    exit level [die] [pid=1379] (Attempting to drop privileges to root.)

    =====

    Tweak Settings is properly set to allow Root etc.

    Thanks for any ideas !!

    Hello :)

    Could you let us know the output to /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log when this happens?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Could you verify if multiple UID zero users exist on this system? You can check with a command such as:

    Code:
    grep 0:0 /etc/passwd
    Thank you.
