404 Not Found on any /home/user/public_html/uploads Directory

Hi there,

I have a well running CWP on CentOS7, with Apacahe & Nginx Reverse Proxy, without Mod Security.

All websites of all domains run correctly but whenever I create a folder named "uploads" inside any ./public_html/ folder I get 404 Not Found for anything in that folder. Not even Directory Listing works.

If I rename "uploads" to "upload" everything works perfectly.

When I rename "upload" back to "uploads" if gives 404 Not Found immediately.

There are no errors in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log or in /var/log/nginx/error.domain_name.log

Has anyone seen this type of error before?

Any advice on where to look or resolve it?

Thanks,

Ryan

tray to rebuild Vhosts

check .htaccess file in your public_html folder, it might cause the 404 (maybe there is a rewrite rule)

It's definitely not something in vhosts or in the .htaccess

Apache Vhost Template:

# vhost_start DOMAIN_REPLACE
<VirtualHost IP_REPLACE:PORT_REPLACE>
   ServerName DOMAIN_REPLACE
   ServerAlias www.DOMAIN_REPLACE
   ServerAdmin webmaster@DOMAIN_REPLACE
   DocumentRoot PATH_REPLACE
   UseCanonicalName Off
   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ PATH_REPLACE/cgi-bin/

   # Custom settings are loaded below this line (if any exist)
   # Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/USER_REPLACE/DOMAIN_REPLACE/*.conf

   <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
      UserDir disabled
      UserDir enabled USER_REPLACE
   </IfModule>

   <IfModule mod_suexec.c>
      SuexecUserGroup USER_REPLACE USER_REPLACE
   </IfModule>

   <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
      suPHP_UserGroup USER_REPLACE USER_REPLACE
      suPHP_ConfigPath /home/USER_REPLACE
   </IfModule>

   <Directory "PATH_REPLACE">
      AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
