Hello,

Check the permissions and ownership values on the "/home/$username" and "/home/$username/public_html" directories to ensure they match what's used for other accounts on the server.

If you do not have root access, let us know the permissions on the public_html directory using FTP or File Manager.

Thank you.

/public_html/.htaccess permissions is 0644

 

[cPanelMichael]

That's the permissions on the .htaccess file. I'm referring to the "public_html" directory itself.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Does not work this command but public_html directory Permissions: 0750 viewed via cPanel File Manager.

Hello,

Those are not actual commands. You'd have to use a command such as:

stat /home/username/public_html

Thank you.

Hello,

Browse to "WHM >> Tweak Settings" under the "Security" tab and let us know if "Enable File Protect" is enabled. If not, try enabling it, then disabling it again to reset file permissions on the public_html directory to default. If it is enabled, try running the following command to correct the permissions:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/enablefileprotect

Thank you.

That should not result in the error message you reported. Could you confirm if the permissions on the public_html directory were updated?

Thank you.

Hello,

Feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look and determine which directory is using the incorrect permissions or ownership values.

Thank you.

Hello,

To update, it looks like the issue was not reproducible. One other item to check would be to verify if the system is using Mod_Ruid2 and "EXPERIMENTAL: Jail Apache Virtual Hosts using mod_ruid2 and cPanel® jailshell." is enabled in "WHM >> Tweak Settings"? If so, there's an internal case (CPANEL-10163) that might relate to the issue.

Thank you.
