I have an DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem (SSL Certificate) that's preventing my dynamic website from working because of the file permissions. I tried chmod 644 in bash to change the file permissions to no avail. Any idea how to go about doing this?

Please check the corresponding folder permissions: /, /etc, /etc/ssl, /etc/ssl/certs -> make sure that all of them is owned by root:root and permission is 755.

2024-12-30T01:53:52.11+00:00 Hi @Silvia Wibowo, thank you for your response.
No, my struggle is with changing the permissions from 755 to 644. I can not do it using the CHMOD in Bash/SSH. Therefore I keep getting an error when accessing my dynamic website.
(Warning: failed loading cafile stream: `/site/wwwroot/config/DigiCertGlobalRootCA.crt.pem' in /home/site/wwwroot/classes/connect.php)
Any thoughts? Thank you so much for your help!

2024-12-30T04:34:41.25+00:00 Hi @Silvia Wibowo , I just tried it, and it didn't work.
(-bash: sudo: command not found)
I am starting to wonder if it is due to Azure Admin restrictions and need to contact tech support.
This is only one issue I am dealing with. The other issue is related to php.ini. But that is a question for another day. Do you know how I can get in touch with one-on-one tech support?
