Ubuntu :: Permissions - Save A File Into The Partition And Get An Access Denied Error
Oct 10, 2010
I mount a partition to a directory and ls -liah tells me that everyone has read/write/execute permissions on the whole thing, but I try to save a file into the partition and I get an access denied error. First of all this doesn't make sense because ls is telling me I do have access.
Then it gets weirder. I run sudo chown -R me:me directory. The command exits without error, but then when I go and look at the directory again with ls, it still shows up as owned by root and I still have the same problem. This is particularly strange because I am still able to change permissions normally in the operating system filesystem. It just won't work on the mounted partition.
I have three partitions. One for each: Windows, Debian and my files. I wanted a partition available in all systems, so I created FAT32 and mounted it as /data and drive D. In linux I created symlinks in my /home folder to /data/documents/xxx/xxx. I wanted to save my projects on that partition, but in every IDE I tried I get the permission denied error. Screenshot What should I do to make /data writable for IDEs? As normal user I have full access to it.
My Torrents will not start due to a "Permissions denied" error.The folders with the files being download have it set 777, so I'm thinking it's something else.When I look at the auth log, It does appear that it is that folder causing the issue.I can keep guessing the cause of permissions, but I do not know how to trace the problem.
I'm trying to configure my /usr/share/ettercap/etter.dns for dns spoofing with ettercap. but when I change the file and try to save it ubuntu says permision deneight Even when I try doing this from the terminal with sudo. It seems there is know way to change the file.
My laptop is a STAMP, 1.6GHz, P4, RAM 1GHz, onboard Intel sound/video etc. There were two partitions, C: drive and D: drive. I had Ubuntu 10.10 and no other O/S installed.
I installed 11.04 Beta from a Live CD Alternate last week and have since upgraded a couple of times to what must now be the LTS. Lots of good stuff and it's why I'm a committed user. I have two problems:
In the install, I kept the two, almost equal partitions (each about 36GB) as well as the Swap of about 3.3GB. The previous format had been Ext4 and NTFS; I now reformatted and made them both Ext4.
The C: has of course all the system and apps, with the basic folder structure HOME, etc. In trying to set up certain programmes to 'Save to' the D: - or indeed just trying to copy/move anything into it, I get: - "Error ... Access denied. Could not write to ... etc. OR ... etc does not exist"!
I've checked under the 'System/Administration/Users & Groups/ Users Settings/Group Settings. For Root, I've entered myself - who should have anyway had Administrator privileges. Also rebooted, but still no change.
When I run out of space on my Ubuntu partition, which will probably happen with me being the untidy person I am, is there a way to resize the partition in Windows or Ubuntu that will allow the other to boot? As I've heard stories of using Gparted to resize a Windows partition doesn't allow Windows Vista to boot up as it removes a crucial part of the operating system? I have adequate space to give to Ubuntu on my NTFS partition. May I also add that to install Ubuntu I had to use the partitioner that came with the installer, because the Windows Disk Manager wouldn't let me partition the NTFS drive, because it Denied my Access.
I have not done the SMTP debug yet but just from basic troubleshooting, I think I know what the problem is. My mail server is rejecting my web server from sending mail due to 'relay access denied':
Code: root@www:# telnet mail.domain.tld 25 Trying 211.113.101.135... Connected to mail.domain.tld. Escape character is '^]'.
I cannot install files from source (tar.bz, tar.bz2, tar.gz, etc) my latest attempt began at tuxfiles. following the 'tutorial', if you will, I managed to unpack the files; but when it came to the ./configure step, I got the following error: zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure
Here I figured different distros, slight variances, so instead I tried putting a space in the command (./ configure), and got this error. zsh: permission denied: ./
So finally I tried both ./configure and ./ configure as su and I still got the same errors... this is the same problem that I've always had when installing from source. I am using Fedora 12.
I am looking for a file monitor to tell me when a file was attempted to be accessed, but was denied. A windows equivalent could be the auditing feature in server 2k3. I don't know which account or which file is attempting to access or be accessed, but I was hoping something built into Linux would support some sort of file auditing for security purposes.
I am having difficulties with Pure-FTPD. I had it working at one time. I recently had to reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 because pure-ftpd stopped working for some reason and now I have a fresh install but pure-ftpd still does not work. This is what I did to install it.
Sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd
Using the Ubuntu Spftware Center I installed PureAdmin. I then create a virtual user. Then in the terminal entered the following:
[code]...
I read somewhere that this could be a filezilla issue and to fix it I need to use active mode and use the filezilla external address [URL]... Of course I did this and the filezilla solution did not work this time. I am fairly sure it is a server issue this time.
I just built an AMD Phenom II Six Core with 4 Gigs Ram a 160Gib / and swap, and (2) Two Tb mirror for Raid (data storage) I had been using DMRAID in the deprecated box but this box has MDADM v3.1.4 - 31st August 2010 from source (on MDADM wikipedia).
I have no permission problems with using the raid and dmraid is un-installed. The raid is working perfectly and is mounted in my fstab with ext4 defaults 0 2 as my options.
I have two exports /media/raid/Test /test
Both show IP and subnet on the showmount -e for the server. I can mount the test just fine on the server. I cannot, however, mount the /media/raid/Test error: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting hostname:/media/raid/Test Using dmraid I am able to have the deprecated box export and mount nfs shares from the raid but using MDADM on the new computer, I cannot. I get similar results with pointing MYSQL's data folder to a location on the "/media/raid/Database" (even with apparmor entries).
I have been following this guide to install Apache, PHP & mysql - [URL]. When I get up to the step 'mysql -u root' I get given this error: Code: tom@tom-laptop:~$ mysql -u root ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) How do I overcome this?

What I mast do for fix this error?
P.S. I have Fedora 12 x86_64 on my notebook ASUS M51Sn.
I have Samba 3.5.3-61 running on a Fedora Core 13 system. I created a share that is browseable to all systems, and I made sure to create a user account via the smbpasswd utility. When I try to connect to the server from a Windows XP system, I am able to enter the appropriate sharename as well as the username and password.
I am setting up a new ubuntu server, and I am quite new to linux. This server will be used as code repository for a project I am going to be working on. I plan to setup 3 groups for users: dev, test, doc
- for various developers, testers and documentation users.
I would like to setup the following permissions on the main code repository directory:
dev - write permission test - execute permission doc - read permission public (anyone outside these groups) - deny all access
I am unsure what chmod setting to use, or if this is even possible in ubuntu.
I recently installed Jaunty in my departmental machine which is having 70 GB harddisk and 512 MB RAM. Before installing I partitioned the Hard disk by using Gparted of Live CD into Four compartments namely
1. Primary partition of 30 GB of file type ext3 2. Extended partition of 39 GB which I divided again into two logical Partition of 20 GB and 19 GB. Labelled it as D and E 3. 1 GB of swap partition
I installed the Jaunty in primary partition, gave the mount point as /The problem is I am not able to copy or save file in the extended partition namely D and E
for some reason root lost grant privileges and I can't get it back. The user got grant_priv = 'Y' in the usertable. I've tried to reset all the priviliges to the user by killing MySQL process and started up again without grant options with no luck. I've also tried lots of other things but can't seem to get it work. Here is what I get: Quote:
[root@xxxxxxxxx mysqldba]# mysql -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution
I need to get an old MySQL Client(4.1)to connect to an even older MySQL Server (3.23).The goal is to do a Java/JDBC connect to the old Linux/MySQL 3.23 database, in order to update text information for a Lucene search (which will also run on linuxdev2). The problem is that I can't connect to the Linux/MySQL 3.23 server from a remote Linux/MySql 4.1 client. I can't connect from JDBC; I can't connect from "mysql":
Code:
LOCAL (intranet): mysql -uSOMEUSER -pSOMEPASSWORD mysql => OK REMOTE (from linuxdev2): mysql -uSOMEUSER -pSOMEPASSWORD -hintranet mysql => FAILS: ERROR 1045 (00000): Access denied for user: 'SOMEUSER@linuxdev2' (Using password: YES)
I set up a servber on my local machine, & also PHp - Both working fine.I'm trying to load up MYSQL i have installed it, & *can* start/stop the server. however if I do anything else with it, I get this error :-
Quote:
root@gordon-desktop:~# sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password MYPASSWORD mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
Query :-
1) How do I know MYSQL is actually active ? (apart from the message it says that its statrted (or stopped).
2) Is there a way to
a) Find out the usernames that are recorded on the MYSQL server ? b) set / RESET the 'root' username (I know MYSQL root user is different to PC root user) c) anything else I can do on the PHP / website code to see if MYSQL is working
(as yet, no tables / databases etc have been set up - as I can't get past this error message - I get the same error when setting up a database.)
Ps I did allow my usermname (when logged in to ubuntu) to edit / create files in the /usr/www/ directory (but it is still OWNED by 'root' - that directory)
I have apache2 running on my computer. I want to change the permissions for /var/www/ so that I can edit the files without a problem. Right now I can use the gksudo command, but I'd like to be able to have all the files available when using an IDE like eclipse. I've read in several places that Code: chmod 755 /var/www will do, but if I'm not mistaken that would give read/write access to anyone. I'm not in a production environment, so I'm not too worried about security, but I'd like to give anyone else as less permissions as possible. Would this be possible?
Looking for some help writing a simple script on my dapper server. I want the script to play a short 5 second wmv sound file. So I can tell another program to run the script. What player can or should I use and how can I set permissions on the file and script so my program has access to it . Total newb here
can assign permissions on a partition with ntfs as the file system. I am aware of editing fstab and setting some basic permissions. What I am clumsily dictating is can you edit permissions of individual folders for specific users in Linux. I have already tried chmod and such
Im trying to move some files from my desktop to /usr/share/ProjectM Project M is a visualization program, and Im trying to move some presets I downloaded there. The error I get is
Code:
There was an error moving the file into /usr/share/projectM/presets. Error moving file: Permission denied
I am logged in as administrator, why can't I move these files?
I run a mediaserver on Archlinux, working perfectly (or almost). I have set up NFS v3 and that worked for me on these clients:
- Debian Lenny - Archlinux 64bit
Now I've upgraded my Lenny-box to squeeze and I see that 2 of my 3 shared folders (tdone and twatch) are mounted like they should and the third one (media) doesn't come up. A 'mount -a' as root gives this error: mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting (null) My relevant fstab-lines:
