Simple script I made the other day that will generate the exact code you need to password protect a directory. Path is set for a plesk user’s httpdocs folder but can be modified as needed.
This is caused by having root login to accounts disabled.
1) Log into WHM
2) Go into Tweak Settings
3) Uncheck “Disable login with root or reseller password into the users”
4) Save
./ch_admin_passwd is Plesk’s utility to set the admin password.
“Gets password from the environment variable PSA_PASSWORD
Password should be from 5 to 16 symbols and should not contain login name, whitespace, quotes or national characters”
[root@ServerMonkey bin]# export PSA_PASSWORD=’newpass’
[root@ServerMonkey bin]# echo $PSA_PASSWORD
newpass
[root@ServerMonkey bin]# ./ch_admin_passwd
[root@ServerMonkey bin]# export PSA_PASSWORD=
[root@ServerMonkey bin]# cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow
newpass
[root@ServerMonkey bin]#
Have you ever had the issue where all your cPanel accounts are showing as unlimited? Well lucky you, thats an easy fix. Just turn on quotas.
1) Log into server via ssh
2) Edit /etc/fstab
pico /etc/fstab
3) Look for a line that looks like the below;
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
4) Once you find that line, after the word defaults add a comma and usrquota;
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1
5) Save and exit
6) Remount;
mount -o remount /
7) Now run the cPanel script to fix quotas;
/scripts/fixquotas

4) Save and restart;
