    I have a fresh install of ispconfig server 3.0.5 on ubuntu 12.04. I have migrated all the websites from ubuntu 10.04.

    Now some of the folders of websites in the /var/www/ or /var/www/clients/clientxx/webxx/ have a padlock symbol on it.

    I can neither delete or overwrite any files in these locked folder nor I can copy any files in these folders.

    for example there is a file in var/www/example.com or /var/www/clients/clientxx/webxx/web.tar.gz.

    now I cannot delete web.tar.gz using sudo. I am able to change the permission of web.tar.gz but not for /var/www/clients/clientxx/webxx

    for example
    Code:
    root@server1:/home/pawan# chown -R web13:client2 /var/www/clients/client2/web13
chown: changing ownership of `/var/www/clients/client2/web13': Operation not permitted
root@server1:/home/pawan#

    ISPConfig uses extended attributes to protect necessary folders from changes, e.g. to prevent people from deleting these folders which would cause the web server to not start anymore.

    Thanks Falko,
    But the problem I am facing is for some of the folders and not all. And as I have mentioned the problem I am facing in only those folders which is showing the owner as root and I am not able the change the ownership to web and client respectively.
    I have around 50 websites and in about 22 website have a lock symbol on it. Snapshot attached[​IMG]
