A fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive

[Xan Mathew]

Hi guys ! Please help me .. I am receiving this message with my entire domains,

A fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive.

Where as , I have checked the running processes and I didn't got anything there , the last thing that I remember what I have done before was copying an image within the wordpress domain , and then after the error message started occurring when I refreshed the page , I didn't get the index.shtml file as well as someone suggested renaming that, hey buddy help me out ?

I am not getting anything about this error, Is this is the server generated error or what. Actually, I am working with the CPANEL/WHM with my server and I have tried to configure the backup bath to /backup and changes reflected with the error message , the error shown as follows :

A fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive..

Any suggestions would be appreciated ... ??

I am suffering with the exact issue when I was little bit busy with my hosting site. It is not exactly the same but much close to this error . Every components are going well and running without any issue till yesterday. I didn't configured anything and now I received the folllowing error message :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in ../wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/lib/pclzip.lib.php on line 4725

It is looking very strange... any effective idea to resolve this ?

I have searched a lot on different and I got a useful procedure to resolve this issue and I have done the following -

root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# touch fix.patch
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# patch -p0 < fix.patch
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# /scripts/perlinstaller Lchown
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# chmod 755 /sbin/ifconfig
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# /scripts/perlinstaller
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# chmod 555 /sbin/ifconfig
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cachelangfiles
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]# service httpd restart
/etc/init.d/httpd restart: httpd restarted
root@server [/usr/local/cpanel]#

cpanel error logs displayed a tree of these:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CREATE_TMP_TABLE, INDEX, ALTER, SELECT, LOCK_TABLES, INSERT ON `serve600\_wrdp1`' at line 1 at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Mysql.pm line 938.

I am still moved back to the configuration section and the same error getting generated again and again. Please do something ...

It looks like there is some problems with the authorization of the files and you can fix using the suggested method suggested below . You need to move to /home.. Suppose the cPanel username is ricky and Run the below suggested commands in /home :

chown ricky.ricky ricky -R
chown ricky.mail ricky/etc -R
chown ricky.nobody ricky/public_html
rm -rf ricky/.cpanel

This should resolve the problme.You need to go for the trial....

I think, you need to issue the below suggested commands after try create new account.

Login to your root SSH:
touch /etc/profptd.conf
cp /etc/proftpd.conf.rpmsave /etc/proftpd.conf

If you require some more help regarding this issue then please feel free to post me for further fix ....
