DirectAdmin Fix Permissions | How to Guide

Did you know that even a slight alteration of the access permission of DirectAdmin system files will cause issues in taking a backup, restoring emails and so on?

This is why DirectAdmin has scripts to fix such situations. However, this script has a limitation as it cannot change the permission of user-uploaded files in public_html or private_html.

Now, let’s take a look at how to reset permissions in DirectAdmin:

1. To begin with, we have to login as root.
2. Then, run this command to reset all accounts on DirectAdmin:

   cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
   ./set_permissions.sh allCopy Code
3. Furthermore, we can reset permissions and ownership of a single domain as seen here:

   ./set_permissions.sh domaindir domainname.comCopy Code

   We have to replace domainname.com with the actual domain.
4. Then, we can reset users’ home directory permissions as seen here:

   ./set_permissions.sh user_homesCopy Code
5. Next, we can reset DirectAdmin system files and folder as seen here:

   ./set_permissions.sh da_filesCopy Code
6. If we want to reset MySQL permissions, we have to run this command”:

   ./set_permissions.sh mysqlCopy Code
7. Then, reset email permissions with this command:

   ./set_permissions.sh emailCopy Code
8. Furthermore, reset etc configuration files as seen here:

   ./set_permissions.sh etc_configsCopy Code
9. We can also reset logs file permissions like this:

10. To reset the home dir of the specific user in DirectAdmin use below:
