Unable to create a folder access denied
« on: January 28, 2008, 03:04:02 AM »
For some reason I am unable to add any data to my server...I am getting an error message:

'unable to create a folder access denied'

I hope this isn't a stupid question but am I simply out of room on my server?  I have 2 80G drives [raid 1] and when I go to see how much data is on them, it is showing (in the backup or restore area) that I have 59G of data.
 
  After posting this I found that I could add data in a shared data ibay...I was trying to add the above data to an ibay that only the admin [me] can add data to, with read capabilities for everyone else.

Log in as root and issue the following command:
Code: [Select]
df

No - "access denied" is a permissions issue. It would say something different if you were out of room.

You could if you created an account, the link is on the main page of http://bugs.contribs.org just under the username and password field.
