HestiaCP File Manager not working

Hi, do anyone have a problem with HestiaCP file manager?

my file manager opens but cant view, or upload files…
it only shows a white page when i click on file manager…

there anyway to fix this ? using version: v1.8.11

Check /var/log/hestia/nginx-error.log

This is whats in the log file

about once a week I see users with errors in filegator. What is the cost in dollars to change the file browser in the next version?

There hasn’t been a new release yet…

There must be a config error with sftp…

I had a similar problem as well, and i fix it as follows;

#CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
It’s a permission related issue which occur when you run chmod or chown command on /home/{your-hestiacp-username} directory for the username that is managing that domain listings or this action performed on this directory by another action, this might not be hestia admin, but the username managing your web domain listing.

#HOW TO FIX IT
Run the following commands to fix it.

example:
let manager = {your-hestiacp-username-managing-the-domain-listing}

Step 1: Change the owner and the group of that directory to root.
sudo chown -R root:root /home/manager

Step 2: Change the group of the web directory to the username;
sudo chgrp -R manager /home/manager/web

Step 3: Change the group of the tmp directory to the username;
sudo chgrp -R manager /home/manager/tmp

Step 4: Change the permission of the manager directory to 775, to enable manager which belongs to “g - group permission level to modify file”;
sudo chmod -R 775 /home/manager

refresh or reboot or daemon-reload and login to hestiacp to view the file manager and domain listing.

cheers!

I just tried it because I have the same error and it isn’t fixing it
