   My ISP moved me from a shared server to a virtual server yesterday (unannounced). It does a chroot to my home directory - so, $HOME is now / . My WP installation is in /www . The blog displays correctly, but when I try to login as admin, I get this error msg on the login page (across the top):
   Cannot open file (/home3/xxxx/xxxx-www/blog/wp-content/backup/.htaccess)Cannot write to file (/home3/xxxx/xxxx-www/blog/wp-content/backup/.htaccess)

   where: xxxx is my account name. At first I thought it was a permissions problem, but it still shows up after setting it to 755.

   The path shown is the absolute path on the machine, but because of the chroot, it's invalid.

   Where is this getting set?
   Why is it trying to find a .htacess in wp-content/backup ?

   They migrated my SSH access, but the command set available on this new server is quite limited - no 'find', 'chmod', etc. Just vi, ls, and a few others.

   They now using Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.1

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!
   Bob

   Probably, it's one of your plugins.

   Strange. Probably your shell is not properly configured. Contact you hosting provider.
