    Hello :)

    Could you access SSH as the account username and then run the command manually to verify if it completes successfully?

    Thank you.

    Could you verify if you have root access to the server, or just a hosting account from a web hosting provider?

    Thank you.

    You will need to report this issue to your web hosting provider for assistance if you do not have root access to the server. They can access the server as "root" and troubleshoot the issue.

    Thank you.
