    Some time ago I had a server secured by a third party company who disabled some of the cpanel cgi scripts even though I had asked them not to. The permissions on those files show as 0000 and I am unable to change them.

    What can I do ?

    Sounds like they are chattr +i'd.

    Do chattr -i /home/username/path/to/file.cgi

    That should let you chang permissions again. :)

    Hi, thanks for your reply, I tried that...

    [~]# chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/formmail.pl
    [~]# chmod 755 /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/formmail.pl
    chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/formmail.pl': Operation not permitted

    Are you doing that as root?

    Hi,

    Yes I'm running this as root and I still cant change permissions after running it several times.

    Any ideas ?

    Last resort - I've renamed the cgi-sys folder and run a upcp --force to reinstall the scripts.
