    I have recently install Cpanel/WHM on a new CentOS 6.5 server residing on a Xen cluster.
    The install completed successfully with no errors.
    When I try to add a new user account through WHM I receive the error:

    Code:
    safe_userchgid: chown: /home/testdomain/etc: Permission denied at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/SafetyBits.pm line 87.
    All the research I have done into this error point to a config issue with OpenVZ containers.
    "you need to increase the quotaugidlimit value on the parent server"

    Unfortunately I am on a Xen cluster so this advice is a little useless. Has anyone else experienced this and know of a workaround?

    I've only ever really seen this on OVZ, but perhaps you can check to make sure quotas are enabled for the VM and that you're not out of disk space and/or inodes? It is indeed a quota problem, but afaik Xen doesn't have the same tyoe if configuration parameters as VZ at the guest level.

    Hello :)

    Yes, make sure there are no disk space or inode limitations preventing the account creation. Do you have access to the VPS hardware node or do you rent the VPS from a hosting provider?

    Thank you.
