chroot option disappeared on Plesk 11 / CentOS server

ThomasCB

New Pleskian
On our CentOS 6 / Plesk 11 server, suddenly bin/bash (chroot) option is no longer available. When I try to SSH in with a user who (had) chroot , I get:

execv("/bin/bash") failed
system error: Permission denied

Help?
 
Could you provide more info about your system? Plesk version, clean install or upgrade? What did you do before it happens?
 
Sorry I wasn't very thorough -

This is an existing Plesk 11.0.9. I did not attempt to upgrade, all though I did apply Update #55 after this happened to see if maybe that would fix it. That went smoothly but did not fix it.

The only thing I remember is I was modifying some vhost permissions, but I'm fairly certain I did not do anything outside of the vhost dir. but, I'm having a sneaking suspicion now that this is a permissions issue.

I made a bit of progress here. I ran repair:

/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp11.0.9-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

and /bin/bash(chrooted) now shows up in Plesk, BUT I still can't login vis SSH / SFTP using an acct set to use it.
