Dont let me delete forwarders in cpanel

Weird, you run a recent'ish version of cpanel? A upcp --force never hurt anything....


The other suggestion would be check the cPanel log and see what it says, you may find something useful there.

 

so? give how...

how did you fix?

 

Permissions

camposomar did not say exactly what the incorrect permissions were, but here are the permissions and ownerships that should be set on the files in the /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/mail/ directory:

Code:

camposomar did say that the problem was caused by incorrect permissions on /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/mail/fwds.html, so hopefully the directory listing from a known-working server may be helpful.
