I have checked your account, and it seems to me that you have exceeded the inode limit of your account.

> Your control panel shows an inode counter that tracks how many files and folders you have on your hosting account. If you’re seeing high inode usage or approaching the limit, don’t panic. Most websites use many inodes, and this is completely normal. Should I be worried about my inode usage? For most websites, high inode usage is expected and not a problem: Normal usage: 40-60% of your inode limit is typical for websites with WordPress, plugins, themes, or multiple sites. Large software install…

If you check for yourself, you can see that Softaculous doesn’t work, but that creating or uploading files through the file manager and FTP don’t work either. The file manager doesn’t tell very well why, but [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client) does, saying:

> 553 Can’t open that file: Disk quota exceeded

As you can see in this article, this either means that you have too much data stored (in GB) or too many inodes.

> If you have an account with many files or large files, you may hit the error Disk Quota Exceeded. This error is typically caused by either two issues: You have reached the disk space limit of your account (5GB). You have reached the inode limit of your account (60,000). You can see your disk space usage and inode usage in the sidebar in the control panel. Please note that the counters in the control panel are not live and are only refreshed once per day. What does the inode limit mean In Li…

A quick look at the directories tells me that you have two big applications already installed. Depending on how many files those sites includes, that may already be too much. If you’re evaluating different software options, please consider not installing multiple packages at the same time.

My recommendation is to just delete the files of one of the two scripts you have installed. That should reduce your inode usage so you can use Softaculous again.
