Hello, I have a lot of error logs related with: "chdir to /home/virtfs/username failed"

For example:
Code:
[Sat Oct 06 23:54:17.049618 2018] [:error] [pid 773] mod_ruid2 www.domain.com GET /forum/uploads/javascript_global/root_framework.js.d7fac88613454c3350a7f1a6de6e2fd0.js?v=17d88fcbb3 HTTP/1.1 chdir to /home/virtfs/username failed
Any solution for this?

The file owner:group does not permit this. This is why you never mess with permissions in cpanel servers.

ls -n (in the command line) will give you the user id of the owner and group.

You can also use suexec instead of mod_ruid
in easy apache.... use suphp as well.

Thank you Jeff.
User is 0 and group 1004 is for /home/virtfs/username
I'm using php-fpm. In your opinion what combination is better?: php-fpm+suphp or php-fpm+suexec

Hi @Nurs1927


I'd actually like to know if you're running mod_ruid2 and "experimental" Jail Apache Virtual Hosts. You can find the Jail Apache Virtual hosts setting in Tweak Settings within WHM. If you are running both of these in conjunction they are incompatible and are a common cause for this specific error. Disabling the experimental setting should resolve the issue.

Thanks!
