After upgrading EasyApache in WHM, sometimes it gives 500 (Internal Server Error) error in the browser. If you check the error_log file, you find:
SoftException in Application.cpp:363: GID of script "/home/current_user/public_html/index.php" is smaller than min_gid
OR
SoftException in Application.cpp:363: UID of script "/home/current_user/public_html/index.php" is smaller than min_uid
If you check the permission of user/group for this file, it gives you root. So, apache can’t read these files uploaded by the root user. One solution is to change the permission of user/group to your current user.
chown current_user:current_user /home/current_user/public_html/ -R
This will solve the permission related issue on your site.
