🔒 Fixing Ownership and Permissions​

🔄 Reset File Ownership​

Reset ownership of all Xtream-UI files to the correct user and group:

chown -R xtreamcodes:xtreamcodes /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/

🔧 Set Correct Permissions​

Set proper permissions for the Xtream-UI directory:

find /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
chmod -R 777 /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tv_*
chmod -R 777 /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tmp
chmod +x /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/start_services.sh
chmod +x /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/stop_services.sh
chmod +x /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/restart_services.sh
chmod +x /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/update.sh
chmod +x /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tools/*.sh

🔍 Verify Permissions​

Check current ownership and permissions:

ls -la /home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/

🛠️ Common Permission Issues​

  • If streams are not loading, check Nginx and PHP-FPM logs
  • If the panel shows 500 errors, verify file permissions
  • After updates, always reset permissions

⚠️ Warning: Only run commands you understand. Incorrect usage may disrupt your service.

Reset Panel Resets the panel to its default state. Warning: This may cause data loss, so back up your data first. bash

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tools/reset.sh

Clean Log Files Clears log files to free up disk space. bash

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tools/clean_logs.sh

Backup Panel Creates a backup of the Xtream-UI panel. bash

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tools/backup.sh

Restore Backup Restores a previously created backup. bash

/home/xtreamcodes/iptv_xtream_codes/tools/restore.sh

Important NotesRoot Access: Most commands require root privileges. Use sudo or log in as the root user. Caution with Resets: Commands like reset.sh can erase data. Always create a backup before using such commands. XUI.ONE Differences: If you’re using XUI.ONE instead of Xtream-UI, commands may differ and are typically located in /home/xui/. For example:Stop services: /home/xui/service stop Start services: /home/xui/service start View tools: /home/xui/tools

Backups: Regularly back up your panel using the backup.sh command to avoid data loss.

Troubleshooting TipsIf services fail to start, check the panel status with status.sh to identify issues. Ensure the MySQL database is running properly before executing commands like repair_db.sh. For persistent issues, consult the Xtream-UI community or documentation for advanced support.
