General :: Can't Create The Folder Directory - Permission Denied
Jan 18, 2010
I set security context for a folder as 702 to enable other users to create and delete folder contents.But whenever other users try to create a folder,its says "Permission denied".
I am working on SUSE 9 Server in which I am trying to make folder transferdata under /opt folder but it is throwing an error mkdir: cannot create directory `transferdata': Permission denied
I have proftpd @ Ubuntu 9.04 server. It authenticates users via Auth file, e.g. those are "FTP only" users, not real linux users. Each of them has assigned home dir in the same auth file. They also get Chrooted into it, e.g. default dir is ~ in proftpd.conf They can connect and download files successfully, however, they cannot upload anything or create directory: 550 permission denied error.
When I login via ssh and change user to proftpd user, I can create directories in that particular place, so I guess it's not Linux permissions problem? Or is it? /var/log/daemon.log is the place where proftpd stores its logs, but I cannot find anything relevant there
I recently switched from Ubuntu Maverick 32-bit to 64-bit so I could compile Android's latest revision, Gingerbread.
Everything went pretty smoothly and I managed to fix most issues that was caused due to the switch.
But each time I open terminal, the following error shows up:
Code: mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/cgroups/cpu': Permission denied bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/notify_on_release: No such file or directory bash: /mnt/cgroups/cpu/19088/tasks: No such file or directory
I've tried manually creating that directory as root but the error remains.

I ssh to a remote server using the username "madel" and it gives me a strange error:

I am installing oracle 11g on Oracle enterprise Linux 5 i applied all the steps in doc [URL] when trying to switch user to user oracle i am facing the below

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (guest) on Windows 7 (host) with the guest additions installed. I have an auto-mount folder that maps to my D: drive on the host which I can access using sudo ls /media/sf_D_DRIVE - however, even when my user (ross) is a member of the vboxsf group I get a permission denied error when attempting to explore it. I have restarted since adding my user to the vboxsf group.
This should work because I am a member of the group (which has rwx rights), so why doesn't it?
ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media total 8 drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 8192 2011-07-03 22:24 sf_D_DRIVE ross@panther:~$ ls -l /media/sf_D_DRIVE/ ls: cannot open directory /media/sf_D_DRIVE/: Permission denied

When login through root on HP-tru Unix server, I am trying to access a directory, it is saying "Permission Denied".. Also, an sh file is also not able to execute through same root access..I have checked the permission of the directory as well as for sh file through ls-ltr.. It is also fine.. Root System rwx-rwx-rwx--What could be the possible cause, and how to correct it..
I have a secondary disk which holds a /home directory structure from a previous install of Linux. I installed a new version on a new primary drive and mounted this secondary drive as the new /home. Problem is, even though the users are the same names and I can access the home directories for the users, I cannot login directly to their home directories, as I get the following error: -
Code:
login as: [me] [me]@[machine]'s password: Last login: Wed Jan 6 18:34:33 2010 from [machine] Could not chdir to home directory /home/[me]: Permission denied [[me]@[machine] /]$
Now, since the usernames are correct and the users are in the passwd file with the correct home directory paths, could it be user ID's that are different or something else? It's not as though I cannot access the home directories for the users, simply that I cannot log directly into them from a login prompt.
I'm trying to create a folder using the archive manager to install Resin (web server) in the usr/local folder but I get the error message 'error creating directory: Permission denied.' Is this the easiest way to install an app--by using the Archive Manager--and if so how do I establish the correct permissions.

The above is the error message I get when I try to create an usb-flash boot drive. I downloaded the iso for Mint10 and use the "create startup disk" program to create the boot drive. I can see both the iso and the flash drive within the program, but when I click on "create disk" I get the above error message?
I have a droid phone, and I have ubuntu 9 running on it. This is done by chrooting since the phone runs a linux kernel. And it works... I have a question though. tightvncserver does work, and its able to listen on 127.0.0.1.. Its how you view your X session. So you chroot to Ubuntu, then start vncserver. Then switch back to android and login to ubuntu via vnc client. but apache, mysql, and postgresql do not work. Well. They dont seem too.. except for mysql. Mysql will start but only if you tell it not to use networking by saying skip-networking in my.cnf
Mysql says: mysqld cant create ip socket permission denied Apache2 says it can find 127.0.0.1 but doesnt actually run same with postgresql... All seem to be compiled with arm architecture. So why does tightvncwork? Why is it so special? How can it listen on the loop back (127.0.0.1) when nothing else can...
I have /proc and /dev bind to the chroot side. I can run ifconfig okay, and I can run /etc/init.d/networking start okay.. But apache2, mysql, etc have problems binding. I have removed apparmor even though technically its not running, but I removed it and its configuration files, just because I thought perhaps mysql looks at apparmor, but I doubted it.
I'm using my AntiX M8 Live CD to repair a hosed Windows installation, I downloaded ComboFix to ~/home/Desktop and now I'm trying to copy (cp) the file to /mnt/ where I have already mounted the NTFS Windows partition. NTFS3G is integrated into AntiX, right? So why am I having permissions errors?
Code:
mepis1:/home/demo# cp -v Desktop/ComboFix.exe /mnt/SwSetup/ `Desktop/ComboFix.exe' -> `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe' cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe': Permission denied mepis1:/home/demo# So far, I can read it without any errors in Terminal and navigate through the whole filesystem in ROX-Filer, Do I need to edit /etc/fstab to be able to write to an ntfs drive?
i installed Slackware 13.1 64 bits in a asus laptop and until now everything is running ok. But when i tried to mount a usb pendrive, i just can mount it as root;well, i thought there would be no problem, i will change permissions with chmod and everyone could access, read and write on it the command :
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/kingston
and making ls -l the result is :
drwx------ 1 root root 12288 Dec 8 17:20 kingston
so next i wrote (as root):
chmod 777 -R kingston
and the message was "Operation not supported" i tried also changing the ownership permission :
so, apparently i would have total access to the kingston directory; the problem is when i try to copy something to the kingston dir, an error msg. appears :
I have a cgi script that tries to get the IP address of a domain. the Domain is defined in Bind, yet it can not resolve it. I put the domain in the host file and it then gives a Error: unable to create socket - Permission denied
I figure I have to do some code changes to the script but here I would like an explaination as to the error I am getting.
I ftp into the server and see the files, but when i try to make a directory or upload a file it returns an error saying that permission is denied.I am wanting the users to be able to log on with their user account and then be able to have full control over their directories. What can i do to fix this problem?I have enabled port forwarding for ftp. What else is there i can do? If you need any extra information, let me know! I would like to get this fixed asap!Here is my vsftpd.conf file.
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
Code: # traceroute -I 69.12.32.2 Note: the -i and -I options were exchangedfor compability with LBL traceroute Use -I for ICMP, and -i <ifname> to specify the interface name unable to create ICMP send socket: Permission denied Note that the command was done as root. This worked in 11.3.
And yes, it works without the "-I". But it should work with the "-I". One shouldn't have to boot into Windows, just to run "tracert" there.
How do I permission a folder?I have a group called serveradmin..I want to add and give the group server admin write permissions to folder /logs.I know how to permission a file.. but changing the folder permissions isn't coming to me.I must add that I don't want to remove any of the current permission on the folder/directory.
