safe_userchgid error or IP MISSING in WHM on VPS containers

Issue: While creating an account in WHM, sometime following error occurs: safe_userchgid: chown Permission denied at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/SafetyBits.pm Although, the account has created but IP will be MISSING in the List Accounts section in WHM FIX: You should try to add an user in your VPS to confirm the error: # useradd cptesting001 Setting mailbox file permissions: Disk quota exceeded You can also get the details of error using the following command: # grep vzfs /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log edquota: Cannot set quota for user 828 from kernel on /dev/vzfs: No such process edquota: Can't write quota for 828 on /dev/vzfs: No such process In this case, the problem is that quotaugidlimit has been reset to its default for some reason and it's causing the container not to be able to manage users and groups correctly anymore. An easy fix is to simply increase the quotaugidlimit to something above the total of the number of users and groups currently configured. Have a look
