Question I have changed all Ubuntu permissions and I cannot log in

GermanMoyano95

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.56
I have changed all Ubuntu permissions by mistake, directories to 755 and files to 644. At that moment Plesk has broken and I cannot access it from SSH, I have mounted a Ubuntu DVD, and I have entered via SSH to the Ubuntu terminal, I have mounted my plesk partition and I want to login plesk but my root user password does not work, It seems that the database with the passwords is not working. I hope you can help me otherwise I will lose all my websites.
 
reinstall the system and copy over the data, as there is no sane way to recover your server.

but a "chmod 700 ./root ./root/.ssh" on the mounted plesk partition should at least allow you to login again. (as Ubuntu will not allow an SSH logon, when stuff in the root folder is readable by anyone)
 
I hope you made a snapshot before doing anything or at least have a backup, otherwise best bet is to reinstall and move over the files or do what christophro
