    I got ahead of myself and changed some of the permissions on several folders.
    After that I lost the ability to login to the ISPConfig panel with 500 internal error.
    I have done stuff like this before but had backups. It seems that emails that were to be sent out about the backups did not.
    I did not discover this until tonight.
    My questions is what are the owner, groups and users on the following folders as well as permissions?
    /var
    /www
    /www/clients
    /usr/local/ispconfig
    I am running ubuntu 18.04 and ISPConfig 3.1.15p2.

    Every webfolder is owned by the user webID and group clientID
    So if web 40 would belong to client 18 it would be web40:client18
    I ran ls -la /usr/local/ispconfig for you, it gave me:
    /usr/local/ispconfig/interface ispconfig:ispconfig
    /usr/local/ispconfig/security root:ispconfig
    /usr/local/ispconfig/server root:root

    This is from Debian 10, but probably the same as Ubuntu:
    Code:
    # ls -ld /var/ /var/www/ /var/www/clients/ /usr/local/ispconfig/                                                               
drwxr-sr-x  5 root root 4096 Sep 18 15:36 /usr/local/ispconfig/
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Jul 12  2018 /var/
drwxr-xr-x  8 root root 4096 Jan 16 10:17 /var/www/
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jan 16 10:17 /var/www/clients/
