This is one of the most common topics that I see customers will ask about. As highly important as PHP handlers are, they often the least understood.

#1 – The Problem
When you try to create or modify FTP users in cPanel, you receive: Error. Could not edit /home/username/etc/ftpquota

#1 – The ProblemAfter installing Fantastico De Luxe, you may receive this error when trying to access it from cPanel:
##################### Fantastico is not installed at the default location /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico. Either move the Fantastico directory from it's current location to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico OR enable More >
