On this website (Webcosec.com), the blog posts are showing 403 Forbidden Error (https://webcosec.com/index.php/2022...iness-going-online-as-you-start-from-scratch/).

From Tools and Settings, I have exercised all the repair options.

"Hello, DigitalSplendid,

I would like to suggest you one command that you can perform.
- find /var/www/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

On Lightsail terminal (SSH), used the following command:

/var/www/vhosts/webcosec.com/httpdocs

Here is the output (screenshot). It may be that I am not using SSH properly.

Hello Digitalsplendid,

I am sorry but. I would still recommend you execute the command I suggested to you. as you have gone up to.

Please, execute the full command.

After entering

$ sudo su

I did not get any prompt to enter password. Still entered. Will the password be the same as used to login to Plesk panel?

You gained root access after the first execution of the command:

$ sudo su

This is indicated by the # symbol at the beginning of the command line.

 

[DigitalSplendid]

After entering sudo su, getting # prompt. But unable to enter password.

This is the screenshot of entered commands:

But unable to enter password.

You do not need to enter any password. You have already gained root privileges without any password entry.
