    Fix ownership of folders and directories in one pass for cPanel server

    Is there a way to sort of mass update all ownership of all folders and files via SSH? This is related to migrating accounts from server NOT running in suphp and suexec to server running in suphp and suexec. Hence, there are so many internal server errors.

    Theres a variety of things in /scripts that may resolve your issue. cPanel has this directory outlined on their site somewhere.

    I found this but it will delete the files instead of fixing it

    chownpublichtmls - Change ownership of all users web space to them, which is useful for converting to suexec. Files owned by nobody are deleted.

    You can try the following :
    Code:
    sudo chown -R username_of_new_owner foldername
    This will change the ownership of the folder ( including all files and sub-folders within it) recursively.
