File attribute - MdNor/rocksoft GitHub Wiki

Common cPanel problem of user unable to add/edit/upload/delete file in their hosting account is due to wrong file attribute.

List all attribute

lsattr

For example, if we get

----------I-- ./public_html

I = immutable, which means no one can change anything in this folder/file public_html folder is immutable and we can edit the attribute like so.

Change attribute

chattr -i public_html

If we test it again we should get

------------- ./public_html

The permission problem should be settled.
