Fix: file open /home/user/etc/domainname/passwd failed with error no such file or directory

Problem Statement
Getting error while creating an email account from cPanel.

Error Message
file open /home/user/etc/domainname/passwd failed with error no such file or directory

Solution
Usually, this error occurs when the /etc directory is removed. This directory contains a specific user's email account password and other configuration details. 

To fix this issue, you need to create a /etc directory.

  1. Navigate to path /home/username/
    cd /home/username/
  2. Create /etc directory
    mkdir etc
