[Resolved] [ERROR] Can not open directory for URI: + 404 Not Found

[eva2000]

On WHM/Cpanel 11.25.xx based server with litespeed 4.0.12 on 2x web servers load balanced using haproxy where load balancer ip is xxx.xx.xxx.x13

Both web1 and web2 have:

• CentOS 5.4 64bit
• PHP 5.2.12 + Eaccelerator
• Memcached 1.4.4 and Memache 2.2.5 installed

Everything was working fine for past few days until today decided to upgrade a vbdrupal install from 5.19 to 5.21 and copy overwrote some /home/username/public_html/* files

Problems
now it seems out of the blue after doing test upgrades for vbdrupal account for domain mydomain.com at /home/username/public_html on web1 and web2, litespeed no longer serves pages and gives me the following errors

On mydomain.com through load balancer ip xxx.xx.xxx.x13 gives me:

[ERROR] Can not open directory for URI: /~username/!

Also tried bypassing the load balancer direct to web1/web2 copies at

• http://web1realip/~username/
• http://web2realip/~username/

give same error messages

and accessing http://forums.mydomain.com/

gives message

404 Not Found
The resource requested could not be found on this server!

I double checked the file ownership/permissions and they were as before when it was working ?

file permissions for /home/username/public_html/.htaccess

-rwxrwxrwx  1 username username 4.5K Sep 21 09:26 .htaccess*

no idea what's going on ?

Hope someone has some ideas

thanks in advance

It is easy to confirm there is a permission issue or not. Just try

sudo -u nobody cat /home/username/public_html/.htaccess

If you get permission denied error, there is a permission issue, maybe you need to check permissions of the parent directory.

thanks.. apparently it was a issue with whm/apache config site which the web host fixed - not sure they did exactly.
