Script|File Owner User ID Mismatch Notice after moving folder to root

[handsunc]

Happy New Year, and thank you again for all of your detailed assistance!!

I just found out that I have been setting up websites in the wrong folder in with addon domains, I always though they should go in public_html folder, but AI told me to put the folders in the home/username folder to avoid the cross-contamination of a hack. I have had several occassions where all the sites in a shared server got the same hack, so I am ready to change the folders and got theinstructins, move the folders, then update the path in Domains in cpanel, thats all I need to do. I did one test site and immediatly got this error in Bulletproof, Script|File Owner User ID Mismatch Notice. I tried re-runing installation, but the erro persists. Is this going to be super complicated now for me to move the folders? Thanks for your help!! CArin

You are correct that websites should go in the /public_html folder, but for added security you can put websites under your hosting account folder.  Personally I have never done that and would never do that. Check the BPS Pro Logs|Info menu > System Info page > bottom right corner of the page to see if the Script|File Owner User ID’s match or not.  The hosting account root folder may have a different ID than a root website hosting account folder under /public_html.

The typical fix for this when migrating/moving websites is here > https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/scriptfile-owner-user-id-mismatch-notice-on-all-sites-but-no-mismatches/#post-40893

Thank you for your help, I don’t want to go into all my shared hosting accounts and move the folders to home/username, fix domain path and then have to do the fix User ID as well, so I asked AI how I can avoid all that, it told me first to ask hosting for

1. host can enable CloudLinux CageFS for you -I do not think my hosting has that, so the next step was the below, but I think bulletproof alread sets so many rules in .htaccess and file permsiions, dosen’t it, are these two items below already covered by bulletproof?

2. <FilesMatch “\.(php|phtml|php\d)$”>
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

3.Apply strict permissions:

folders: 755

files: 644

wp-config.php: 600

You don’t need to do any of that stuff since you have BPS Pro. If you didn’t have BPS Pro then yeah you could manually add your own additional security protection.
