v1.6.0 permission problems after upgrade/update

You can run ls -l to see who owns the files in the nodebb directory and change ownership with chown -R nodebb <nodebb_folder> command

ls -l with an l not 1

At this point should I delete the build directory and try to run ./nodebb build? I'm nervous that command won't work since I can't run ./nodebb log.

try sudo chown -R www-data nodebb. If that doesn't work then try deleting stuff

That changed this, yes?

-rw-r--r--   1 www-data www-data  15468 Aug  4 00:08 nodebb

Still doesn't seem to get me to where I can run ./nodebb log. Getting this error: -su: ./nodebb: Permission denied.

Oh lawdy.

[Michael Pfaff]

Any advice on a fresh install?

[PitaJ]

Check and make sure that you're actually lived in as www-data.

Permission issues should be fixable

Yeah that would certainly do it. The chown -R should have fixed that though if you ran it with sudo.

Yeah, for some reason I still can't run ./nodebb log. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board.

Oh, wait a second. Your user is mike? In that case, the crown command should have mike not www-data I think. Have you tried editing those files from the account? Also, check the log directory ownership and permissions.

@michael-pfaff can you try editing one of the files with nano or vim? If there's an error there then that would confirm the issue

Just open any file in that directory?

[PitaJ]

@michael-pfaff yeah just try editing one of the log files and see if you still get an error. You might also try using chmod to change the actual permissions on the files rather than the ownership.

Seemed like I could edit and save it just fine using nano output.log.
