SOLVED Forbidden error for all subdomains after transfer

[Skin]

Hello,

I've just moved some sites from one VPS to another ( WHM transfer tool ), all subdomains are not accessible now, I have an error like this on my browser:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The subdomains are in these directories:
/home/USER/subdomains/subdomain1
/home/USER/subdomains/subdomain2
ecc

P.S.

I`ve just tried to make a new subdomain and I have the same problem , in the error log I can see:

[Sat Jun 09 12:04:26.334894 2018] [core:crit] [pid 15524:tid 140087620773632] (13)Permission denied: [client xx.xx.xx.xx:55251] AH00529: /home/xxx/subdomains/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable and that '/home/xxx/subdomains/' is executable, referer: http://www.nando.xxx.eu/

I looked in /home/xxx/subdomains/ and I can`t see the .htaccess file ( it is not present olso in the old VPS and all subdomains were working)

Ok I probably fuond the solution:
/home/xxx/subdomains was 750, I changed the permission of this directory to 755 and now everything works, but is it safe?

On the old VPS the directory have 750 permission end everything was fine.

If you want to set 750 then ownership of that dir should be user:nobody then it will work for you.

Done, thanks.
