SuPHP [warn] Directory / is not owned by $user

[Keelfase]

Hey guys,

So I managed to do ~something~ while updating my SSL certificates yesterday and now all users on my VPS cant parse PHP files.

/usr/local/apache/logs/suphp_log has started filling up with:
[warn] Directory / is not owned by $user

And then in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log:
[error] [client x.x.x.x ] SoftException in Application.cpp:592: Directory / is not owned by $user
[error] [client x.x.x.x ] Premature end of script headers: index.php

I've been so panicky in trying to get this back and working I may have made it worse by trying to re-set permissions on files, but I think its something else now.

Any ideas on where I should be looking?

Thanks muchly.

~Standard WHM/Cpanel VPS
~WHM CURRENT
~Centos 6

Still can't seem to get my files to co-operate with suphp, had to fall back to CGI PHP for now just to keep things running.

No ideas anyone?

What were the steps you took when updating your ssl certificates? Generally speaking the WHM SSL installers won't do anything that would change the ownership of files or directories in your user accounts.

It would help us to give advice if you could detail the permissions on the directory apache is compaining about with ls -al

You can use the history command on your shell to display steps you've previously taken, this also might help.

Hello Keelfase,

Have a look at the link thread below, though it is an old one but has the exact same problem and the fix:
