No SSH access, how to recover it

[clopezi]

Hi,

I have lost my access to SSH.

The monitor says:

Starting sshd: /var/empty/sshd must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
[FAILED]

I tried many things:

1) https://server/scripts2/doautofixer?autofix=safesshrestart => Failed

2) Script who restore the sshd config => Failed

3) CGI-Telnet => Access denied to change the chown of the folder.

I have read that with ConfigServer Explorer is possible to do that, but i can't install it. The says that they can install it without SSH, but the don't say who. I contacted they a few days ago but not answer yet.

Obisously, i have access to WHM, cpanel, etc.

Thank you very much!

Regards, Carlos

Does your datacentre not provide KVM access? That will probably be the quickest and cleanest method as you can just log directly into it as root then to rectify the SSH issue.
