<QUESTION>cp: Seq_1: Permission Denied

hi experts

I am rsyncing a user's home dir across the NFS and the local PC, but when it tries to copy over the hidden files it fails with permission denied. Both dir are owned by the proper user and I am root when I execute the script, so I am not sure what went wrong here.
For example: this is the content and permissions of the source:

-rw------- 1 user test 115 Nov 14 11:28 .bash_history

and here is my error:

rsync: send_files failed to open "/home/user/.bash_history": Permission denied (13)

Thanks

I have been getting permission denied issues when trying to log into as root. I have set my password and when I type su - root and enter in my password I keep getting either password incorrect when I know I am typing it in correctly or acess permission denied from su. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong. I am trying to get into /etc/passwd for homework assignment and I get permission denied when logged in as my user. Any help will be great. I have in the past been able to logg in to root but now I cant seem to get into it. This is a new install of ubuntu 14

Linux Newbie here...running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Downloaded a couple of binaries/executables to the Downloads directory. ./command runs just fine but copying the binaries to /bin or /usr/bin says permission denied. I used chmol

After digging a bit more, realized that my FS is being mounted as read only!. Not sure why. /etc/fstab says UUID=8559f1a0-60e0-47e4-922d-9175f282fa8a / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

Something is not right with the filesystem and I am not sure how to fix it.

Thanks

am trying to use tar in combination with find, the goal is to all files in /export that have been modified in the last 24 hours (back up purposes), then tar them so I can untar on the backup server, updating just the modified files.

Perhaps there is a better way, however, I have tried using cpio but the problem come in when I copy to the NAS drive (NTFS) I lose all my owner/group and permissions. I have found that if I tar the files, then copy them to the NAS, when I untar on the server, it will retain the owner/group and permissions.

So… here is what I have tried:

First, I use the find command to see what files should be in the tar archive.
Code:

/export $ find . -depth -mtime 0 -print
./file4
./file3
.

Ok, that looks right, now I will try to pipe that in to tar
Code:

/export $ find . -depth -mtime 0 -print0 | tar -czvf backup.tar.gz --null -T - 
./file4
./file3
./

./share/file3

./dir1/
./dir1/file1
./file4
./file2
./file3
tar: ./.directory: Cannot open: Permission denied
./list
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

It seems that it is trying to tar all the files in that directory. When I view the files in backup.tar.gz all of the files from /export are in there not just the modified ones

Hi everyone,

I created a fuse mountpoint. After mounting, the file permissions are all screwed up and it says I cannot ls or cd. Permission denied.

The file permissions look like this:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? temp

and when i list the mounted devices I get:
/dev/fuse on /temp type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev)

I used mono-fuse. I just created a new folder with permissions 777 and then did a mount. After unmounting I can do all operations, but when I mount, I get such error.

I used
HelloFS.exe that comes along with mono fuse for testing. Can someone shed some light on this weird behavior and what mistake ive done. Thank you !!

Hi, I'm having trouble configuring my vsftpd version 2.2.2 on Centos 6.6. I successfully log in, but I cannot make any changes (creating files, directories, whatever):
ftp> mkdir t
550 Permission denied.
ftp>

This is how my vsftp.conf looks:
Code:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
listen=YES
pam_service_name=virtual-ftp
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.user_list
userlist_deny=NO
tcp_wrappers=YES
write_enable=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftp
local_root=/mnt/storage/ftp

All users are mapped to the ftp user. /mnt/storage/ftp is owned by ftp and there are no permission problems (the mount point is /mnt/storage). I use pam for authentication, which seems to be working fine from what I can tell from the logs and the fact that I can log in, of course.

/mnt/storage is a linux partition and it's mounted like this:
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/storage ext4 defaults 0 0

Which is really unimportant, because I tried to use the root partition also, and I get the same problem.

On some site someone suggested allow_writeable_chroot=YES, but this directive is not identified by vsftpd.

I kind of ran out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I made some little applications with qt creator and i wanted to run them on an embedded linux board (linux 2.6.24). To transfer the files i use a SD card. If i move the applications to "/bin" after having mounted the SD card and then "chmod a+x" them then i have no problem running them.
But if i mount the SD card and try to run the applications directly in the folder where i mount it i have an error : "Permission denied". Also when using the command "ls" i notice that if i keep the files in the mounting folder and try to "chmod a+x" them, the modification don't happen. They stay "greyed" and don't go "green". (I don't know if this color code is a standart for linux terminal but maybe this could help you understand the problem).
When mounting the SD card i use the command :
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/SD

So the files are located in /mnt/SD.

Am i missing something or is it not possible to run something like that ?

EDIT :
I tried "mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/SD" to chnage how i am mounting the SD card.

Still "Permission Denied".

With "ls -l" i can see that the permissions are staying :
-rw-rw-rw-

Even if i try something like "chmod 777".

It seems to be a problem related to the fact that the sd card is formated as fat32 but it must stay like that.

Hi,

On Centos 7 I haven't been able to configure phpmyadmin. I've got Apache 2.4.6 and I've installed the latest phpmyadmin, both with yum.
I've changed all the 127.0.0.1 to my public ip and I've disabled the 'denied all' directives. This is how it looks:
Code:

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     <RequireAny>
       Require ip X.X.X.X
       Require ip ::1
     </RequireAny>
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     #Deny from All
     Allow from X.X.X.X
     Allow from ::1
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/>
   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>

   </IfModule>

     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     #Deny from All
     Allow from X.X.X.X
     Allow from ::1
</IfModule>
</Directory>

# These directories do not require access over HTTP - taken from the original

#

</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/frames/>
    Order Deny,Allow
    #Deny from All
    #Allow from None
    Allow from All 
</Directory>

on /var/log/httpd/error_log:
Code:

AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

The httpd.conf hasn't been changed except this:
Code:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    #Require all denied
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Normal access to my apache works fine (a default test page shows up)

SELinux is disabled and I've also stopped iptables to test it.

I have installed phpmyadmin , when access http://192.1010.118.0/phpmyadmin ,it pops the error

Code:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.

I check the phpmyadmin.conf , I have released "allow all" to all directory .

I also check the /var/log/httpd/error_log, it have the following error , I tried change all files permission to 777 but still not work , would advise what is wrong in my server ? thanks

Code:

[authz_co error] [pid 2525] [client 192.1010.118.0:51878] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

Hey everyone, am logged in as one of the admins in a database yet I cannot not go to /etc/yum.conf
Every time I try, it says permission denied.

What am I missing out? Kindly assist.
