Help! I accidentally chowned /* vmail now I can't access websites. My server responds if I go via ip so ssh still works From what I've read I'm guessing I need to reinstall is that correct? If not how can I fix it? If so what would I need to do so I can use virtual machines on my server and ispconfig Would I install the vm manager of my choice then make a new container and install ispconfig on that?
Are you able to access the webmail & other website? What error you are getting the error.log file of the web server?
Did you do a recursive chown, or did you just chown everything in /. example: chown vmail /* can be repaired, because you changed just one folder level. But if you run e.g.: chown -R vmail /* then you will have to reinstall the server as all files and folders on the server are "chowned".
