Please ask your hosting provider for support. This can have all kind of reasons.
This forum is only for support to Directadmin license holders (so admins) not for hosting customers.

If you are an admin, try via SSH.

I am admin i do have direct admin license if you want to check i can share my account details as I already mentioned i am new to DA and DA forum

how and where i will find SSH in DA? or through puuty or Git Bash?

No need to check, a statement that you are admin is enough for me. I'm not a DA employee. Due to the message I thought you were not an admin.

However, as said via SSH.
So yes through putty you should be able to cd to the directory and chmod it to 777.
These days 777 is not required anymore, in spite of the fact that software sometimes says it.
However it's a bit odd that the system says you have no permission.

Are you running php-fpm or something else?
Is this a fresh installation? And if yes, how long did you wait between DA installation and finish of background installation of the rest? Or did you start configuring right after DA itself was ready?

Another thing you could try is this:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./set_permissions.sh all

Thank you so much Richard.


Yes but mailwizz does need 777 permission that's why i posted this issue.


i am running php-fpm and it was a fresh installation.

i think installation took 15 minutes to finish of background installation of the rest.

Let me try that code.

Once again thank you for your help

same issue is happening after using this command in git bash (cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts./set_permissions.sh all )

can't change permission mutex 755 to 777 (mutex uid/gid is root/root )domains/ems.coredataonline.com/public_html/apps/common/runtime

i think installation took 15 minutes to finish of background installation of the rest.

Yes oke, but I hope you waited configuring the server until that installation was finished, right?

I don't know what git bash is. You have to be root to issue that command. If that is the same, then this error should not happen.

Can you try this command as root via SSH to see if something is wrong with the filesystem (maybe readonly)?
grep <span>"[[:space:]]ro[[:space:],]"</span> /proc/mounts
or easier:
grep " ro[ ,]" /proc/mounts
you can safely copy and paste these commands, take care the " characters are also present when pasting.

Place output here.
