Hi paladino.
I think that the only way you have to restore this is a complete reinstall.
You can chown all websites simply taking user and group from /etc/passwd, but for the rest of your files (conf files, sitem files, all files in /var/...) you can't do anything.

That's right, and you can chown the rest of the system files copying from another installed system. But that will take you a lot of time and it must be an identical system with the same applications. This is an operating system issue. Sorry but bad luck...you did't man.

i need a faster solution..
its impossible send me any script to correct it based on installed files of other server??
i finish my instalation yerterday transfering the file of another server..
its a problem to me transfer all data again to the new server... and the server its in production now.. =//

Yes, it's possibible to have a script to do it, but you need someone that creates it!
You can move files to a partition that you won't delete, you can buy a backup space or a VPS to move files if you can't move them from the old server.

I have had annother idea that seems to be more intelligent:
1 - Disable IspCP and FTP access
2 - Disable Suexec
3 - Launch "chown -R apache2:apache2 /var/www/virtual/"
4 - Launch "chmod -R 755 /var/www/virtual/"
5 - Restart apache
DON'T reboot the server, maybe it won't come up anymore.
6 - Buy another server
7 - Install IspCP
8 - Create all users
9 - Move files (using rsync)
10 - Chown all users directories (take new user and group from /etc/passwd)
11 - Update DNS records
I think that's the best solution for you.

not sure if this helps, but for now to put yours sites up you can try run this
http://www.isp-control.net/documentation/howto/ispcp/regenerate_config
or
#/etc/init.d/ispcp_daemon stop
#/var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-rqst-mngr
#/etc/init.d/ispcp_daemon start
NOT SURE IF WORK but somebody can give more tips
RE: Problem with chown - paladino - 12-17-2008 11:45 AM
nothing work.... i now reinstaling all the system.... =/
RE: Problem with chown - grg - 12-18-2008 01:59 AM
That's the best choice.
Don't worry, i've also done an error like your's
(the ssh output is now in front of me, over my desk). I launched a "mv htdocs /* *".I think you need a backup server... Of course you won't repeat this error another time, but maybe something else will happen...
