When you are trying to edit a css or html page, it won't allow you save the page and it shows the error message : "a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive cpanel". It is because the ownership is changed to "nobody", so you don't have the ownership / permission to edit the page. Please follow the steps below to fix it :
0) Let's say your template folder name is milky_way
1) Rename the folder of the template. (Eg : milky_way2)
2) Copy and paste the folder to your root folder.

4) Move the copied folder from root folder back to the original folder.
5) Rename it to original name (Eg: milky_way2).

To copy a Joomla website and paste it into other hosting :
Zip all files > download the zip file > upload the zip file to other hosting > extract the zip file. Then export a copy of the database to your computer :
1. Login to the database that you want to duplicate using phpMyAdmin
2. Click the database name on the left-hand side of the page.
3. Select the Export tab
4. Select the Save as file option
5. Click Go.
Then import the copied database into the new database on the other hosting. You'll first need to create the new, empty database on your server using the account control panel. After the new database has been created:
1. Login to the new database using phpMyAdmin
2. Click the database name on the left-hand side of the page
3. Select the Import tab
4. Click the Browse button under "File to import", then select the database file from your computer
5. Click Go to import the database
Hint: If you see a "No database selected" error, it's probably because you forgot to first click on the database name in the left-hand column.
