Permissions Denied

This is a discussion about Permissions Denied in the Everything Linux category; nxssh runs on port 22 by default. I have sshd running on another port, but am unable to find out how to change the port nxssh is looking for other than 22. Any ideas?.

Hello,
 
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 in VMWare. I installed Apache,php,mysql.
 
Everything seems to be fine. I am trying to put phpnuke files into /var/www , everytime I try this (Manually not through cmd line) it says permissions denied.
 
I am very new with linux so I was hoping someone could have an answer to my problem!
 
Thank you very much!

I want to answer my own question for future reference.
 
I tried doing su command in order to do chmod 777 www and get it to work.
 
It kept saying Auth Failed when trying to do su.
 
So I did sudo psswd and made a new pass. Then did su and logged in as root in the termnial. Then did chmod 777 www and that made it so I can do what ever I want in there.
 
 
I will be back later, I am a newbie and will always have linux questions

Well maybe I answered to soon. I hear you gotta chmod different files and folders for phpnuke. I am lost on how to do only folders and only files.
 
Anyone know?

There is a short guide on permissions here.

You have to use "sudo <command>" with your user password instead of "su" with your master password in ubuntu.
