Hi,

The public_html should have the permission set as 750.. You can execute the below command on the server, so that it will change the permission to 750 for the public_html for all accounts inside /home directory.

# chmod 750 /home/*/public_html

Additionally, if you also have home2 or home3, etc, you can execute below commands too:
# chmod 750 /home2/*/public_html
# chmod 750 /home3/*/public_html

As indicated by @24x7server the permissions of public_html should be set to 750 - please let us know if you continue to have issues once these are updated.
