crontab permissions are wrong Please set to 4755

Being new to cPanel and whm I’ve had a little bit of a learning curve, I’ve never really had this much access to a production server before. Our servers used to be with 1&1 but they are absolute crap and don’t ever know what they are talking about, now we’re no longer with them I’m happy. Being with them gave very limited access on a managed server.

Anyway I was trying to set a crontab and cPanel has this cool feature to set them up, but it kept displaying:

/usr/bin/crontab permissions are wrong. Please set to 4755

If you tried to set up a crontab in ssh you’d get a permission denied message.

To fix this you need root access to your server, log in and enter the following:

chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab

This will change the permissions for you.

If you don’t have root access then you will need to contact your service providers and ask them
